I would like to congratulate Bioware for their amazing con-artistry. I would just call them thieves, but they convinced me to give them my money.
Multiplayer is about half the game, and I can't get past the lobby. I've tried everything, and it just won't work. I've been successful three or four times out of tens of attempts.
So...
Bioware, this is the last you will ever get my money at full price, because if I pay full price in anything else, I should get a full experience. You've robbed me, and this isn't the first time.
That freezing-during-combat bug you never bothered to fix in Inquisition? Yeah, good one. Bye.

You think MP is half of a 100+ hour play through of a campaign? Well, alrighty then...

While the game has its problems (some are much improved, others not so much), calling it a con is a bit much. And MP is definitely not half the game. I haven't even touched MP at all.

I wonder if they know this isn't an official BioWare/EA sponsored forum... I wish they hadn't closed the official ones. BioWare should just buy this one and start paying the mods a decent salary. Seriously. Also, the old forums can answer a lot of those making predictions about anything. It's all been said before ad nauseum after DA2, ME3, Awakenings, etc. Anyway, at least these forums give everyone a chance to vent.

I guess you're right. However, I still believe in a forum that can only be entered through a valid registration process in-game. The server would verify your credentials from inside the main menu options and allow you access. It would help filter out those that are just yelling to yell and those that have legitimate gripes. Not all gripes are the same and hours clocked into the game would help sift through those that are actually experiencing issues and those that are acting like a parrot. These unofficial forums should always stay because I like the anonymity that it has for developers. The mods would be the only people speaking back to forum members if it was handled my way. However, that's my idea. I have no real idea how handling forums work and I tip my hat off to these moderators.

Fair, I am just skeptical of the internet since it is a large anonymous body that has no consequences for its actions. Just by going what I have seen for Andromeda I just see it being a can of worms regardless of what they try and do to try and contain it since people will twist anything to suit their agenda and then people will just parrot it. Look at the most recent Kotaku article I have seen nine or ten different places use that as their only source to "the disaster of Mass Effect: Andromeda's development". So if one person gets riled because of the paywall to be part of the BioWare forums it will soon be twisted and probably wind up being bad PR regardless of intent.
