Must be the same person on an alt account in my opinion  
Sounds like solid experience speaking right there

Quazi, I agree that they stated the rules in a faulty matter.
But, if you take the sentence you have, and apply it in context, and most of all, apply logic, paid for subs count as paid for subs.
Why would WoW under report their subs? (Answer: they would not)
I mean they count people on a free month as subs. Those by definition are NOT subs. But they count them.
Again it's very poor wording. Very, very poor. Awful. If you can come up with an answer that Blizzard is motivated to report paying subs as not being paying subs, please share with the class.
Companies use poor wording. Rift sent an email telling me account was SUSPENDED. Wow, did I get hacked? No, what they meant was, my paid time was up and the account was not active. Very poor wording.

I tend to look at it like this: Your account, whenever you 'cancelled' it, remains active until the next day of your recurring payments comes along. At that moment, a flag goes up that says 'Recurring payments stopped? Y/N'. The system looks at your account, tells another system yes, and bingo, your account is now frozen.
Another way of saying that is: imo, cancelled subscriptions don't count as cancelled until the game time you paid for(hence, paid subscription) runs out.
Bingo.

What is funny is that to reach Quasi's conclusion, one has to ignore so many other facts that it just becomes laughable.
Quasi, here is the nail in the coffin of your "theory".
As stated earlier, "expired or cancelled" is Blizzard's way of saying "Frozen" accounts.
This was proven earlier by Broken, and I just verified it.
When I attempt to post on the official forums, with my FROZEN account, I received the message, "This game license has expired or been cancelled. "
There you have it. Proof positive that "Frozen" = "expired or cancelled", and therefore "Frozen" accounts are not counted.
Since I do not receive this message when I post on the forums with an account with the method of payment removed,(that still has paid for game time) my account at that point and time is NOT "expired or cancelled", or I would receive the exact same error message as before, and not be allowed to post.
And yes, I will feed the troll for as long as he want to make an idiot of himself...

When you do this, you agree with yourself, Korr.

Correct on my end.
What is sad is that I could argue his side way better than he is.

Also, Gutter hasn't provided a bit of evidence to prove his claim.
And that is different from when?
Sorry If I don't dumb down the evidence to pre-kindergarten levels for you, Boone.
You'll catch up one of these days...if the rest of us start going backwards..
maybe....

Typical response...
What you really meant to say is that, "Gutter's logic and reasoning are so sound I could never provide any facts to disprove anything he ever says."
It's ok, I fully realize that is like a 4th grade sentence, so I don't mind helping you.
You're welcome 
Edit: And notice, as always, that you add nothing to the conversation?

Just for kicks and giggles, I wanna see you do that.
