You are dense. People are pissed off because they no longer have separate accounts they paid for. For example, you could have a Terran ladder account, a protoss ladder account, and a zerg ladder account........ Or do whatever the hell you want with them because you bought 3 separate accounts/copies of the game. If you want to give them away or let a friend borrow them you should be able to.
Not understanding buying an account wasnt simply about regional access makes me believe the majority of the people claiming people are complaining for not getting things for free are morons of the highest order. it isnt a difficult concept to grasp.

Well, if you have 3 licenses like you pretend, had you created 3 different Battle.net accounts, you would now have 12-15 ladder accounts in that sense, 3 for each regions.

Seeing as in my view I've not lost anything that I paid for but instead only gained with global play I don't think I've been cheated at all. I still have what I paid for and I don't feel that I should get more. Those who made separate accounts for their licenses doesn't bother me.
So yes, while I see why you're upset I don't understand or agree with that reasoning at all.
Edit: The one way I would be upset would be if people who had multiple accounts on the same server and then they merged losing their initial ability to smurf/offrace. But seeing as you couldn't have more than 1 license per region per account none of these people have been affected by it anyways.
People just have their panties in a bunch because although everyone gain something.. they feel some people got more than what they have so they are sour about it. Hope you complain hard enough that Blizz grants you your wishes!

Because you paid for 3 licenses. Blizzard cannot just take two away and grant access to all regions to the other one. You should have 3 licenses and Blizzard should have given you another one for the last region.
In the end you can do the same ingame with 4 seperate licenses or one global license. But it is about what exactly you paid for.

But why? Surely you knew this could happen when you bought the second license. Also, you benefited enough from it already! Also, are you not happy now that everyone else is getting global play? You just traded one license from your main region for a license on another region + all the rest! So greedy omg!

It's obviously not the same thing as I would have paid twice to play with low latency on my main server with 2 separate profiles as opposed to having paid for being able to play on 2 separate servers and still being able to do so after the merger.
In one case I'm losing something I paid for (2 eu accounts for example) in the other case I still have everything that I paid for and more (1 eu, 1 na +all the others i now get).

They are entitled to give me something if they took one of my copies away. Regardless of region and global play, if I paid for two copies of the game, I should have two copies of the game........not ONE merged copy.

Well, I don't see much difference in having 2 accounts on the same server and 2 on separate servers, if you just play alone and use them for offraces, and I don't even think Blizzard could make the distinction either.

Nobody told you to buy multiple games...
And besides, common sense would be to spread those games out over different accounts.
Listen, childs: What people are complaining about is that they bought 2 products, and they now have one. Yes, that one product is extended a bit, but its still only one product. That is actually not legal.
That said, I still believe Blizzard intends to fix this by having you be able to choose which profile you want to login as when hots is released. Anything else would be fraud.
And besides, common sense would be to spread those games out over different accounts.
How the fuck is that relevant?
Let me explain this like I would to a five year old.
I buy an apple, an orange, a plum and a banana.
Joey next door buys an apple.
12 months later, my apple, my orange, my plum and my banana get turned into a kiwi.
Joey's apple also gets turned into a kiwi.
Therefore, my orange, my plum and my banana are totally useless BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THEM ANYMORE.
To use a phone analogy.
I buy an iphone 4.
Joey next door buys an iphone 5 12 months later. I think "that's cool" and to get one too. But I DON'T lose the iphone 4, I have an additional phone I can still use or sell.

I liked tha analogy of buying 2 eggs, and you put them in the same basket. Your friend buys 2 eggs and brings 2 baskets, and you think (pff, thats stupid). Suddenly a law passes that says you now get to have 3 eggs pr basket providing you have at least 1 egg in that basket. Now you have 3 eggs, and your friend has 6. Just because you didn't bring an extra basket..
And besides, common sense would be to spread those games out over different accounts.
How the fuck is that relevant?
Let me explain this like I would to a five year old.
I buy an apple, an orange, a plum and a banana.
Joey next door buys an apple.
12 months later, my apple, my orange, my plum and my banana get turned into a kiwi.
Joey's apple also gets turned into a kiwi.
Therefore, my orange, my plum and my banana are totally useless BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THEM ANYMORE.
To use a phone analogy.
I buy an iphone 4.
Joey next door buys an iphone 5 12 months later. I think "that's cool" and to get one too. But I DON'T lose the iphone 4, I have an additional phone I can still use or sell.
Nice... only if you had any common sense like i mentioned before... You would put your second game to a different blizz account, because everyone knew this global play was gonna come eventually.

It is not a free copy. We have purchased 2 or 3 copies of the game already. If we buy yet another one, we would have n-1 global play accounts.

1. No we didn't. 2. No one said global play meant that you would lose the rest of your accounts (in fact, I still believe that blizzard will let you choose which profile to use when hots is released. If that is correct, that would make you stupid and not us, no?)

You might get something extra but a free copy is zero chance. For all we know you got those last copies from the bargin bin for maybe 10-20[insert your currency here] so there is no way they will give you a 40 free expansion.

I'm sorry but I don't find this honest in the slightest. I find it weird that just by having registered my TW license on another Bnet account, I would still have what I paid for (2 accounts with global play, instead of what I have now, only 1). Which would have actually been against their "RealID" policy of one B.net account per IRL identity. So in a sense, I got stripped from one game key for actually binding my own name to my SC2 accounts. Smooth move Blizzard, smooth indeed.
Edit: On another note, what the hell is the deal with those "MVP" posters on Blizzard's forums? Who the fuck are they? They sound really assholish. And I understand all the comments (from guys who only bought one license, obviously...) about us just buying multiple region access for the length of time where it was unavailable. Yet that's not at all what we bought. I bought a full WoL game, dammit. What bothers me is that if I had just made another Bnet account (which is free, and very fast), I would still have 2 SC2 games. What the hell is Blizzard supposed to answer to that argument? "Serves you right, retard."?
Edit2: I submitted a "ticket" to the support service. Will let you know how it went. I'll put here my message if it worked :D Maybe if it fails as well, though that would be a shame
I owned 3 licenses on my account, now I only have one but I don't see it as a problem at all because I still have access to all the servers that I paid for. Why does this matter so much to people? I bought the extra licenses to gain access to other servers, and that's just what I got back then, and that's just what I still have.
Because you paid for 3 licenses. Blizzard cannot just take two away and grant access to all regions to the other one. You should have 3 licenses and Blizzard should have given you another one for the last region.
In the end you can do the same ingame with 4 seperate licenses or one global license. But it is about what exactly you paid for.
Nobody told you to buy multiple games...

So what do I need to use the expansion? A wol-license. What do I need to use 2 expansions? Two wol-licenses.
What do I have? Two wol-licenses. What do I need to purchase to use two expansions? Two expansions and a third wol-license.
The problem is that Blizzard want to switch from licenses to Battle.net accounts, but I bought licenses. It shouldn't matter that my licenses are on one Battle.net account.
