If they are unable to have the Mac client available in time for early access then they should just say it. However, it really makes no sense to prevent some from playing early access when they have preordered the expansion just like everyone else. All the other clients will be available for early access. If anything, it goes completely against common sense.
Problem right here is because the topic starter bought the bundle pack which includes content that is not supposed to be available till 24th. It's not about switching platforms. Bundle does not comes with early access mainly for the fact that the package is targeted for new players who have yet to try out the game since early access into HW content is only available for those players who have a level 50 and finished all main quest till 2.55. But if they wanted early access as well, just buy the standalone game for cheap right now, make an account, try to level a class to 50 and finish all MSQ before the 19th it's as easy as that. Is that so hard to understand???
