Yes, there is now way to get around that, when you want to play on a live Server (Server hosted by Blizzard).
The only alternative you have, is playing on a so called "Private-Server", that emulates the WoW Live Server, and you play there for free.
The thing is, that P-Servers aren't that bugfree as Blizzards is.
For more information, have a look at the Priv-Server Section.
