RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!
Okay EA, you've forced my hand, this is the last straw, remember what I said a few days ago about how as much as I hated you I was still going to buy Mass Effect 3 new? Well NOT ANY MORE! That's right! I will be buying my copy of Mass Effect 3 PRE-OWNED! To insure that not a dime falls into your slimey, dirty, filthy hands! And then I will never buy another EA game as long as I live, I don't care if Battlefield 3 is 50 cents, I don't care if Dead Space 2 is a quarter, if it has an EA emblem on it, I DON'T WANT IT!

Same Zynga guy was harassing me and posting personal info on me after he saw the reddit threads. He's claiming to be connected within the games industry, but I don't believe it. It's like someone at walmart palling around with nordstroms.Mekado said:
Blaming the victim.
What you read: "You used Origin, you deserved what you got."
What I read: "You deserved to get raped, look at what you were wearing!"
Come on people..
Also, READ FOR CONTEXT FOR WHAT HE IS SAYING BEFORE YOU POST.
(If you have read for context, disregard the above message)

He's a forum mod.
Forum mods have no power in this. (by their own admission in posts on battlelog)
I can remember him trying to troll me back on the boards.
He's also late to the party. I have a dialogue with someone from EA going.
Yeah Activision hasn't done anything lately to piss me off eith-Pandabearparade said:
Plus they canceled the Guitar hero series (I will admit was on its last legs since all the good songs have been used. It still annoyed me though :/)
OT: EA are evil bastards who deserve to rot. I thought this was apparent the second they cut themselves from Steam and made their own shitty rip off of it to save a buck.
Here is what EA should do. They should go down to the nearest Drugstore. Ask for something called Viagra. And it will help them go fuck themselves!
EA? Help? Hahahaha
I love the Battlfield and a few other EA publications. But I despise their support. Battlefield 2 mini expansions Armored Fury and Euro something took me four months to activate, I ended up getting bored and just uninstalling. BF:BC2 kept having issues with the authentication service, I ignored those and focused on the real problem at hand. I have a legitimate copy of Battlefield Vietnam and my key was taken by someone else and I wanted that damn rifle.
EA support said yea, whatever, then activated the gun without the login key. Means that Vietnam still isn't registered and the gun may or may not work. It also locks out other guns randomly, not sure why.
Cust Serv over there is hell, takes months to do anything. If there's a problem, move onto other games.
I suggest Brink if you want an FPS or LoL if you're just bored.

Zynga.. You mean that virus program which installs itself through other programs and you can't delete it without thorough knowledge of the OS, registry and a general "How to clean your computer so the CIA can't get anything off it"? How are they still in business?
Edit: Ban in forums? That was on Reddit, see, the problem is, you know EA is hell in their forums. There's been posts.. I think I've seen some here, about people getting banned on the forums then realising they get banned from the game too. Welcome to EA gaming, this is not a democracy. Do. Not. Go. On. The. Forums.
Don't even go to their tech support unless it's a big problem because they're [impolite word here] and will "steal your stuff" in a very literal sense.

Why do people keep buying their games? they go out of their way to be terrible people.Cyberjester said:
My ban has been lifted... but no word on if the other people have been solved yet, or as to why EA is supposedly giving out "private" info to random callers.
This is not done until it cannot happen to anyone ever again

Bring this shit up with whoever is the consumer protection agency in your country. EA have to take penalties for seriously inconveniancing you. If this ever happened in any other industry the company suffers fines or official warnings. Do not let this pass unnoticed by consumer watchdogs
"Apparently EA is giving out information on my case to random strangers who call up, contrary to their privacy policy. Also, a zynga employee is stalking me, digging up information on me and posting it, and claiming that his connections in the industry will make sure my ban stays in place."MaximumTacos said:
Well that's some egg on the Zynga employee's face.
Im sorry you feel that way..MaximumTacos said:
as for trying to troll you?? i have checked your post history and my post history and see absolutely sparse contact(almost none tbh) between us at the best of times over the last 5 weeks. In fact looking at your post history i only see 1 interaction between us at all in 7 pages and that certainly does not fit the definition of trolling but if you feel i have trolled you in some fashion i apologize for any mis-communication on my behalf.
I was trying to help bring a resolution to this matter on your behalf and had discussed with my EA contacts your case. They had told me they tried to contact you through other channels including reddit and had no response and were willing to intervene for you. I had a direct email to a person in EA games to contact , bypassing the CS live chat to hopefully have this resolved once and for all.
Your frustration is warranted but you dont have to attempt to paint everyone that is involved in battlelog and Ea as the devil incarnate, especially where there were those and still are those people that were trying to help you out.
But regardless, Im glad your ban has been lifted and you can get back into the game once again. I have the email address on my ea contact if you still wish to get a hold of them to discuss, but i will leave it up to you to take the high road and contact me via pm here or send me a friend request at the battlelog forums for a chat http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/user/CrazyCanukk/ .
Cheers!
