Not only me but a ton of us that used the payment one method to pay are screwed there are players that owe over 500 bucks now.
I looked over my phone bill and it shows me paying and i have the reciept saying i paid the phone company.
Payment one actually in One day mind you, slapped blizzard saying hey you owe us this cuz all these players use fraud to sign up and play.
so blizzard pays them then locks our accounts until we pay.
so what gives.. i talked to support on this cuz its a "final warning" and said ..
"do you honestly belive im gonna to pay you and have them come back say 2 months later and say i owe more?"
he said that wont happen.. then i said well look what already has.
And im not the only one..
at 1st i thought it was my old phone company but every phone company out there wont all at one time, issue charge backs.. it all comes back to this payment one crap.
so if your account is locked and this happens nothing you can do i guess but bite a big one and pay up.
as for me, soon as my account is up im moving all my 80's to a new account and only use game cards.
man this sucks
and i told billing that .. if you dont pay you dont play.. how is it i could play last year those 4 months but yet here i am now screwed.
