Warband Bank access revoked for F2Ps & Vets

[Hermi]

I'm seeing the error: "This character does not have access to this bank" when attempting to interact with my Warband bank.

It looks like F2P/Vets can no longer access the warband bank as of a few hours ago. I'm seeing some posts on the Blizzard forums as well.

Yeah I just noticed this too. This completely sucks! I'm glad I leveled up my enchanter before they revoked this feature.

At least you can still access the reagents that are in the bank if you're crafting, even though you can't withdraw them.

That might mean it completely blocked my access to my lifestealing enchant, I'll have to check if my lvl11 can zone into old scholomance

Just confirming it also. Such a bullshit change to just drop this on people after they put in the effort to fix gold withdrawals so non subs wouldn't lose gold when taking it out.

So they knew it was working for f2p and even fixed a problem with it before. Now all of a sudden its a problem that has to be "fixed".

Booooo, back to profession switching =(

My warband bank is full, I have no idea what is still in it xD

 

[Pookamhura]

Don't switch professions yet, there's no confirmation that this is a permanent disable or just a bug introduced in the last patch.

[dancedance]

[EKJMNY45]

blizzard can go suck the molten shit out of my ass

 

[Conzil]

You can still craft items from mats you left inside

Ugh, I hadn't put Lifestealing on all my twinks. This blows.

So the only way to get that now is to level Enchanting?!?!

I think it's probably easier to pay for a month of game time. And I guess that's the point.

Blizzard forum post seems to indicate some are still getting access?

time to quit this bs game.

this is not the first time they screw up all the previous efforts of players. Remember how they banned multiboxing suddenly w/o prior notice and countless # of players subscribed to multiple a/c's demanded for refund?

I have like 3 more weeks till my sub ends, and I have over 400K gold in the warbank. what the fuck do i do??

the is exactly the problem, the answer is simple, never sub again, never play this bs again, do u want a game that will suddenly pull the rug from under your feet and wastes all your previous efforts?

Unfortunately Blizzard does this all the time.

The change to make TW open at level 10 and have the dungeon scale to you (instead of you scaling to 30/35/40/45) just killed an active community who farmed TW-specific sets on any toon, regardless of level. A whole community destroyed by one change. And for what?

While twinks are now the TW meta and TW is BiS for a lot of twink gear, we already had this: WoD Warforged dungeon gear. That got nerfed too. I wouldn't be surprsied if Blizzard drops the ilvl of TW gear from 60 (at 11) to ~30 and it'll be a retroactive change.

The old TW system also meant there was a point in farming certain Azerite gear. But now Azerite gear is disabled in TW dungeons. Longstrider used to be a nice Speed boost but then Blizzard accidentally made dungeon Azerite gear too good (for a few days people were getting 300-400% run sspeed) but then they nerfed Longstrider across the board so hard it was worse than before the change and it's completely not worth it now.

Remember all of these changes were to affect something that literally does not matter in any competitive sense: Timewalking. Why are we removing anything fun from what's basically levelling content?

The most fun I've had in WoW in recent times was MoP Remix and that had the same scaling issue: low levels were OP. But at least you got to be OP again at high level if you maxed your gear (which honestly didn't take all that long after Bronze got buffed; I had 5 476s).

I'll echo comments made here and elsewhere: if the intent was for the Warbank to be inaccessible to F2P accounts, if it had been like that from day 1, you'd get fewer complaints. But now people have invested time in the system working as it being intentional. That's just horrible.
