Apparently I got WoW for free

I was browsing through my emails and through SPAM found that I receive a free downloadable copy of WoW and a 30-day trial along with it. At first I thought that this was a hoax and is going to give me a virus attack but checking if this is a hoax online is apparently a legit one.

I was browsing through my emails and through SPAM found that I receive a free downloadable copy of WoW and a 30-day trial along with it. At first I thought that this was a hoax and is going to give me a virus attack but checking if this is a hoax online is apparently a legit one. Though it's quite a hoax since it's vanilla WoW and Blizzard wants me to play it again which I say NEVER and if I play WoW then I need to buy both Wrath of the Lich Kings and Cataclysm Expansion packs which is stupid and retarded - seriously why would they sell it at regular retail price for those games, you're paying for the monthly subscription and you expected me to pay all of them. 
 
It's just bullshit that they're doing that seeing they have the entire world playing this game, albeit Cataclysm seems to be fun with new quests and such but getting up there will require my level 70 warrior from Burning Crusade to hike up fifteen levels with both expansions in hand. Anyways here's the email sent by Blizzard's Mike Morhaime: 
 

Thomas, 

Thanks a lot for being an early supporter of StarCraft II. The community is off to a great start, with over four million players worldwide and I'm pleased to report that the rumors of the death of real-time-strategy gaming have been greatly exaggerated.

As a thank you for your early support, I've flagged your Battle.net account to receive a free, downloadable copy of World of Warcraft. This is the full version of World of Warcraft that we sell in store and includes a 30-day subscription. Just follow the instructions below to activate it, download the game, and start playing. Again, it's totally free.

I'd also be interested in hearing any feedback you may have about StarCraft II: what was fun, what we could make better, etc. So if you have any thoughts, please send them along to [email protected].

Again, thanks for helping us make StarCraft II an epic launch, Thomas, and I hope you'll enjoy adventuring in World of Warcraft and connecting with another fun part of the Blizzard community. 

   
 
 
 And it also wanted feedback for Starcraft II which I probably will send something saying that the ending sucks.
