Downgrading Account

Arihant

Hey fellow twinks,

I've got a pre-tbc account, already used the trial, and I'm interested in getting 450 herb/skinning and therefor I gotta upgrade.

I've been reading on different forums and such and came to the conclusion that it's possible to downgrading, but wanted to be 100% sure before I'm upgrading.

If you know if it's possible, or how it can be done please reply with some info :)

Best regards,

Arihant.
 
I done downgrade'ing on EU servers and it worked, just that it did take like 3-4 days.

If you got a level 64 or lower character (witch you do on a classic accout), then you cant herb/skin/mine in northrend anymore. Soo I tryed to get mining and it was almost imposible (you can read more here: http://www.twinkinfo.com/60-69-bracket/10892-cant-mine-450-60-a-2.html#post150107 ), soo you should think if its really worth it or even possible with skinning and/or herbalism. Maybe you should just aim for 375 (bc) but still if you only get bc and then get wotlk trial and learn soo you can get to 450 skill, you can take how long time you wanna anyways in bc.



They asked me to send this:

If you still wish to proceed with the downgrade, please send a confirmation of this mentioning the World of Warcraft version you would like your account to be downgraded to along with the following for account verification:



- Your Battle.net account name (Please DO NOT send us your password)

- Your full real name

- Your full address including postal or zip code

- Your Battle.net secret question and answer (if possible)

- The World of Warcraft license name

- Your payment information (either the last four digits of your credit /debit Card or of your bank account Number) used for the upgrade



Upon receipt of your confirmation we will process the World of Warcraft license downgrade as soon as possible. Please note that your expansion authentication key will no longer be valid following this process and no refund will be done.



If you have any further questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact us.
I also wrote that I did wanna get it downgraded to classic and that I ONLY wanted it on one of my accounts.
 
I wouldn't waste your time and money. Due to the fact you can get reported for having 450 skills on a 60 account. All it takes is one asshole to report you and its back down to 300 you go. You will get reported. not worth the risk.
 
Reported for what?

I seen 60's with both engi and herbalist skill on 450 (and I know atleast one armory with it). Its grandfathered, its not a cheat. Screenshot or it dident happend.
 
Stop snitchin'
 
here is the message blizzard will send to you. A warrior in my guild had 450engy / 450 mining. Heres what blizz sent him.



"When you opted to revert your version of the game from this caused some confusion between the system and your account.



As your character was level 60, any impact on the level of your character did not cause any difficulty with logging into the game, or skill/level confusion on our end. I have seen players that were leveled up past 60 and also ones that had not been, though they had logged out in an area that their clients no longer had access to (I.E. Area 52).



So the good news is that your character itself is in good condition. However as your professions has been brought up past the skill level beyond where a standard box edition would have access to (i.e. Master level as the trainers are in Burning Crusade areas) it is clear to us that a bug report is required to look into the reasons for why the system opted to offer you some skills that should not have been available to you post Burning Crusade Trial.



At this time we are not going to be further reverting any of your learned professions any further as this was the skills that were available to you according to our server's system records. Regrettably this same issue is why we will not be able to offer any additional recovery of skills or schematics in this case, as you would need an upgrade for Burning Crusade or Wrath of the Lich King client.



I have also discussed your request for monetary compensation for having purchased the MOLL-E. Our current policy is that we are not able to offer restorations for content changes. In a way the choice to have this account reverted to an original client version is effectively a content change. As such I was not authorized to offer you any monetary compensation.



I can imagine that this sort of situation was not something that you had foreseen when you were making the decision as to keeping the Wrath of the Lich King and the Burning Crusade expansions or to request a refund. However our policies are created with the need to keep the integrity of the game and all parties by insuring a fair and level playing field as outlined by the developers.



Thank you for your time and understanding of our position in this matter. If you have any additional questions for me you can continue contacting me and I will answer you to the best of my ability. Furthermore if you would like to leave feedback about the policies, the reasons why we were not able to assist you with additional recoveries, or even leave a message for my supervisor (as well as all of the Customer support staff) please e-mail wowgmfeedback-us@blizzard.com."

This happened to my account twice (first time they just lowered profs to 300/450 the second they made them 375/375...).



Just fair warning, if you do level to 450, get all cloaks enchanted with the tinkers, and mind control helm tinkers, and frag belts.



Those can be "used" at 375, but cannot be made until 400+. You can keep those tinkers but nothing else works (rocket boots, hand rockets, hyperspeed, lightning gens).



Just a friendly FYI.
 
Eu servers, where rule's are not that big of a deal <3

Sorry to head that they lower peoples skills, they dident even mention it on eu servers.
 
it could take a few days and i have heard about it taking up to a month. GL
