I really don't get why you'd quit because others get something you don't, especially when it's as available to you as it is to them!

Blizz hasn't looked after old customers.
There has to be a cut-off somewhere. If they'd made it retrospective, how far should they go back? A week? A month?

Whatever date they chose, it would have been guaranteed to annoy the hell out of anyone who *just* missed out on that date.

It's a no-win situation for them, so they did the right thing here and it's consistent with the way they've handled change in the past.

I hope they make the RaF bonus - or at least something close to it - the standard XP rate for at least 1-60 some time soon though. One way or another, they're going to have to address the "vet wants to create an alt, doesn't want to start from scratch" problem.
