Possible extremely sophisticated Battle.net phishing scam?

[Dalarsco]

I got an E-Mail from Blizzard saying that my contact info had been changed. I went to the site (not through the link in the E-Mail) and saw that my contact info had not been changed. I thought it was a mis-send, some odd error in Blizzard's system. But I also noticed that I had forgotten to update my phone number, so I did so. I then received a slightly different E-Mail with basically the same message. Was the first one the most sophisticed Battle.Net phishing scam ever? Here is the text of the second (presumably legit) E-Mail:

If this really is a phishing scheme then it's a particularly well-done one. They spoofed a real Blizzard E-Mail address, and the link they wanted me to click has no obvious flaws like being "batle.net" or something like that. The only thing that saved me was my habit of never logging in to anything through a link in an E-Mail. Has anyone else ever seen something similar?

These have been going around for a couple of years :P

battle.net accounts are more profitable than credit card numbers, so they are one of the highest targets of phishing/keylogging.

Wow, nice letter by the way, usually I get spam like this with lesser words and tons of mistakes I get these kind of mails daily, 1-2 or so. Funny thing is that I receive mails about WoW, though I quit playing like an year ago

I knew that phishing scams for B.Net accounts were popular because of WoW, I just hadn't seen something so convincing before.
