My oh my, SQL queries are getting very expensive

They've said before, the cost association is there so people wouldn't abuse the service and change their toon everyday. Same with paid name changes and server transfers. and of course they're doing it for the money.

If they don't want people doing it too often then they'd just put a cooldown on it. This is purely a cynical money making ploy.

Yes I know they're a business out to make money, and I know no-one is compelled to use this new service, but it just galls me that they charge rip-off prices for something that's completely automated and done in an instant. It's hardly like they're strapped for income from subscriptions.

It amazes me that they sell the Blizzard authenticators for such a reasonable price, each one a tangible unique object, and then charge three times more for a couple of database queries.

Sorry for the QQ, I try to avoid doing it most of the time, but I just get annoyed by rip-offs.
