Support Availability[]
Players seeking support from Blizzard must go through the Battle.net support site, which contains a search function, support articles, and the option to get help from Blizzard support. Depending on the player's selection, and the time of day, the site may offer the option to enter a web ticket, request live web chat, or schedule a callback from a representative. Blizzard does not offer any phone numbers or email addresses for support.

In World of Warcraft, the term "support" usually means a type of class that can be useful in groups without engaging in direct combat most of the time. Healing classes are often considered "support" classes, but the term is vague and not well defined.
Blizzard Support[]
The term "support" typically refers to Blizzard's Game Masters, technical support, and account support staff.
Blizzard's support center on the Battle.net website allows players to login and track support tickets and responses from representatives:

Criticism[]
Over the years, Blizzard has changed the contact channels available to players, including the removal of email support and direct phone numbers. Some players have reacted negatively to these changes, feeling that it is becoming more difficult to get assistance, particularly with live issues such as account compromise.
When the callback system replaced traditional phone support in January 2014, Blizzard explained that the new system eliminates time spent on hold and allows the site/representative to quickly collect useful details about the case.[2]
