Nope, none of that.
In the state of Connecticut, if you pay for a service, and the service is not delivered, you are entitled to a refund. If partial service is delivered, you are entitled to a partial refund.
The law also states that I get to file what I consider "the service" and the company has to send a lawyer (at $200/hr) to defend their position in court.
Or, you know, they can credit my account $7.50.... up to them.
You're getting the service as it is laid out to you in the ToS. TERMS OF SERVICE. You have nothing.

Do you have any proof of this? I would be very interested in reading the case notes.

There are several reasons why ESO could and thats really the key word there, suffer a Class action lawsuit, one is False advertisement of the Product, this applies when the advertised product does not provide the promised service. Which ZOS has in droves currently.
You can also apply this to things such as the Daedric Armor, which is visually advertised in all of their Cinematic trailers, and while this normally would not be an issue that specific armor set is a huge part of the lore for TES games therefore the appearance of that set in the cinematic, is an obvious advertisement of the armor set.
Yet in game it appears as the "Shredder Costume". (and it actually is 95% an exact copy of the Teenage Mutant ninja turtles Shredder outfit) Which can be viewed as copyright trademark infringement.
Just to name a few.
There are about 30 reasons I can name off the top of my head for why a legitimate class action suit against ZOS could be made, most would not be won of course, but a few would.
I have no idea why you would feel the need to lie about class action suits with Blizzard, but just to educate any poor saps who might believe you:
Blizzard sued a bot-developer and won. They won $7,000,000. That's the only suit regarding WoW that Blizzard has ever been involved in.
In addition I was a Coadmin of another Server which sued Blizzard for stealing their custom UI addons in Wrath. Guess what? Blizzard Lost, but an agreement was reached between the servers owners and blizzard that blizzard would keep the addons (since they were already released with he expansion, and the server would get (Money) in return, Basically blizzard lost the suit and was ordered to buy the code from the Private server developers.
So yea. One of the things you may not realize is that blizzard does not develop their own game improvements or bug fixes for the most part, they steal them, and then settle out of court for ownership of them, or flat out buy them from private server developers, or flat out steal them and then attempt to sue the private servers they stole them from, for using them.
They also attempted to sue a guy selling a WoW leveling guide on Ebay. They lost it had to pay him, and he set up his own website with which to sell his guides from with the suit money.
Activission/Blizzard is a very very nasty cut throat company.
And the newspapers just missed out on this story about a gaming behemoth repeatedly losing a lawsuit?
You've just told us all that you ran a private server. That makes you a cheater, hacker, liar, etc. But by all means, we should totally believe you about these non-existent lawsuits where you got all kinds of money from Blizzard. That totally happened.

One problem - the ToS is not legally binding.

You know, that one always gets bandied about as an example of a frivolous lawsuit, but if you look into the actual details of it, there was extreme negligence on the part of McDonalds. The woman suffered 3rd degree burns (aka full thickness burns because it extends through the entire thickness of the skin) and was hospitalized for more than a week, because the coffee was held (by policy) at 180-190 degrees (coffee is usually served at 140 degrees).

Assuming that all of that is true (which would be a big assumption), then none of those would be class action lawsuits. So where are these class action lawsuits that you claim Blizzard loses all the time? And yes, you did specify class action.Malpherian wrote: »Wrong I used to Own and Admin a private server Blizzard tried to sue us 5 times, they lost every single suit.nerevarine1138 wrote: »Malpherian wrote: »Actually Blizzard entertainment loses Class Action Lawsuits all the time, IN fact many of the ones they attempt to do on Private servers end up back firing on them, with the judge ruling they are to pay the defendant.

Hahaha wow. Did the person who actually posted about being the admin of that server "forget" this? My opinion, they remembered something about a lawsuit involving that server and assumed "oh yeah Blizz lost that right?" Maybe they won an appeal that was gag ordered from being released from the press, ah dang, I just supplied an excuse...
No, you specifically said that they lose class action lawsuits all the time. You're going to need to back that up with proof that they've lost multiple class action lawsuits, or admit that you were just talking out of your ass.Malpherian wrote: »On the class action suit, the only difference in a class action and a personal suit is a class action involves a TON of people.

Don't worry. If there were a secret ruling and a gag order in place, the poster in question would have just violated said gag order. And now they'd be on the hook for a few million.
