Will there be compensation in game time for my inability to play this game the way I did before this horrible patch?

I am almost an exclusive battleground player, and therefore cant play due to the extreme battleground qeue times. When I finally do get into one, the game almost without exception crashes, and by the time i can relog, I have been branded a deserter. I have removed the offending comment that made my post seem as though I was offering a suggestion. I am now patiently waiting for a response from a blizzard customer service representative.

I'm sorry, Froh, but if you are requesting compensation due to the patch or other technical issue the appropriate location for such a post is in the Suggestions forum. This forum is moderated by members of In-Game Support who do not have jurisdiction over such requests.

For your disconnection issue in Battlegrounds, have you tried the workaround to see if it will work for you? By disabling your tooltips it may prevent you from freezeing/crashing.

Turn Off Tooltips

/script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);


Turn On Tooltips

/script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

The overall issue is being looked into and our Developers hope to have it addressed as soon as possible.

I have made no statement offering a suggestion for compensation, I have simply asked if there will be compensation. Since no member can answer my question, I am looking for a response from a rep.


No, it is highly unlikely that compensation will be provided due to a bug or other technical issue, Froh. The majority of our players are able to play without experiencing this issue. Compensation is usually only provided due to extended unexpected downtimes.
