Which is exactly why I say focus on the amount that gets blocked on you bank account for a little while, rather than "My time started running out today, I'm suing you unless it's resolved in 13 seconds!".
And then the dramatic part - they ARE robbing you? Really? Well maybe you should press charges then... Unless they actually aren't robbing you and are doing the most common thing out there when it comes to sub-based services of any kind.
And this ties to what I said already, this is absolutely normal, noone should complain about that, the suprising part is that the amount you get billed and returned is not 1USD/EUR, as it should be.
But reading this topic, this important and really only relevant part gets completely lost in all the drama, chaos and panic.
All sub based games require you to enter a subscription plan prior to receiving your free 30 days. You will only be charged when your 30 free days is about to expire

Actually this isn't true. SWTOR, TERA and TSW all allowed you to use your gametime before setting up a payment option.

Paypal does it. Checks for under a dollar.
Are you guys new to MMO's or something?
Because they implicitly indicate your card will not be charged, they don't make any mention of a hold, or a pre-auth, and most companies that do charge pre-auths or card checks only charge $1. They're pre-authing the entire sub fee here, and with it being a Thursday, most people will not see this charge fall off their account until at least tuesday. That's up to $80 to be without for 5 days at least. That's why this is a big deal.
80 is not a big deal it is really the principle. This is why people are mad. It can be 5.00 or 10.00 does not matter it is all the same thing. I do not care how much is sitting in my bank. If you take it without telling me and without me saying okay you can take xyz amount at such time then you are violating my trust and in some areas of the world you are violating the law.

This game reminds me a lot of Asheron's Call. A game that i've been paying $14.95/month off and on since 1998 (okay, it was 9.99/month back then). I bring this up as a point, that's also another subscription MMO which requires payment authorizations before playing your first 30 days. And it's one of the oldest! Not every company does it the WoW way (to whom referenced "the biggest MMO out there", for better or for worst.
Don't let the chorus of QQ bring you down. Just remember all the positive people are too busy playing. - or patiently waiting for the game to patch.
You're an idiot. Not everyone can afford to pay the full amount of a sub. I can afford to, but I didn't want to until my next payday when I have less bills to pay.
Grow some common sense dude.
Your calling him an idiot, it says it when you buy it. be it Digital or hard copy.

they told you before you bought it.
I am rather upset though that my time is ticking down and I haven't got the 2 days grace period added. I'm sure it will be fixed.
This is terrible, not that they need to charge, but because they need to charge the whole amount... I certainly don't have the money now so what is going to happen?

I'll try to interpret their silence as to what's going to happen...
They're gonna tell you to bend over and you will run away screaming.
