moderately incensed firmicute & parthianshot - You cats are choice. You can come into my games and just screw around for free credits anytime. Like take a nap or do something everyone hates (like farm outlaw). We'll all die, but you earned something ... To reemphasize (because new page), this is actually a thing - bsn.boards.net/thread/4/introduce-forum-members-bioware-forums?page=108Someone in EA Support is, in fact, sending bitches (us) here to moan about their unsolved/unsolvable-without-code-changes problems. I know someone in here is the kid of one of the devs and has been reporting exploiters (watch yourself people) and maybe he can tell them that they should just get over the tears & fears and let us know that they are officially paying attention.

So here we go. I just skimmed thru the entire 'structured feedback' thread, yes all 13 pages. I cannot find a single person there stating that EA directed them to post here. I am aware of the post from bassventura where he claims that EA gave him this board's URL. He has posted 5 times from April 26 - April 28 and not since then. I am still dubious. We also have this thread from alwayshuntress in which the title of the thread implies she was told to post here, but she never actually claims that outright. And I frankly find it very hard to believe that customer service would not have been able to solve her 'problem' (which involved not flipping over the cards from packs she purchased). 3 posts, none since March 24. She quotes an email which I'll re-quote below: (emphasis added) Note that we only have alwayshuntress 's word that "the link" pointed *here*. And that is it. Two people. Who showed up, posted, and then have never been seen again. Hardly Woodward & Bernstein level proof. = = = It is of course POSSIBLE that some lazy, incompetent EA customer service reps just google'd "mass effect andromeda forums" in which case this board is the first hit -- when the CSR should have given out the official EA forums or EA Answers HQ instead. I'm not saying this COULDN'T happen, just that we have no PROOF that is actually is happening ON A REGULAR BASIS.

Frankly, if they were looking for the official forums it's not particularly surprising that they didn't stick around here . . . . I'm not sure why you point to this as some evidence of fraud. Also, why would somebody lie about what URL they were given?
Also kind of curious why you, who I consider to be fairly reasonable and logical is kinda frothy and passionate about this?

FWIW, I have had corporate support/help direct me to third party resources before. I mean, nothing like the sewer of rats and gifs that this place is, but it's not really wildly outside the possibility space.

Maybe because I've had 3 caffeinated sodas and 1 grande latte in the past couple hours so I am jacked up. I will probably look back at this thread tomorrow and be as embarrassed as @natinthehat about his drunken escapades. Anyway I'll let it drop now. Apologies to all for being a jackass. But I secretly hope you were at least entertained. Not so secretly after all.

In fairness JRandall0308 , I was also a super dick, because PA D&D forum life has cause that exact phrase ("extraordinary claims", etc.) to be become my trigger for Super Nova of Ultimate Infinite Rage. That ability is only found (secretly) by dealing with that super annoying forum for much longer than one should.

Definite bro hugs, dude. I don't love it when your tenaciousness is directed at proving me wrong JRandall0308, but I would love for you join a MP game with me, where that tenaciousness will help us win!!! Sadly I'm on PC, so that seems unlikely, but I think we'd kick ass together.

I can remember two threads from different people who had been directed here by EA help, meaning it happened at least twice. Cite or STFU. The bad news is that I'm not going to do either of those things. Hopefully you'll get over it.

Smite released a patch that was game-breaking yesterday. Pretty much crashes 100% if you use in-game-chat.
Hot fixed it today.

I figured I'd check the bug reporting thread here, and lo-and-behold several people have stated the EA PHONE SUPPORT told them to come here. W.T.F. guys. If that's how it is, then the EA and Bioware employees who lurk these threads need to stop lurking and prove they are paying any attention at all to this forum and close down answers.ea.com/t5/Mass-Effect-Andromeda and migrate that S*** over here. This is true utter nonsense as far as I'm concerned, because what should happen is that they should replace the total s***box that is EA ANSWERS HQ with a useful forum remarkably LIKE THE ONE THEY SHUT DOWN. Why should they not be allowed to have people dealing with both forums? (And, by the way, we do have moderators posting here already - some seem generic to the boards but other seem to focus specifically on bioware issues - have you read any of their posts?)

I'm not sure what you are getting at about mods? They EA/Bioware employees running an unofficial Bioware forum or something? You got me confused.

(Never played it, supposedly like overwatch) I only bring them up as an example. Of how to do persistent MMO well? Sure, I think they do it well over there, but ME:A is very much not F2P, where ALL the money is in the back-end. Bioware's hybrid monetization model means they don't really have to have things working perfectly all the time, because a lot of sales are from people paying for the game itself to play SP, which Smite and any other MMO simply don't have. It also means resources get split into SP and MP bugs as well as SP and MP future DLC. There's risks and rewards to both, but there can be no gamebreakers in true, pure MMO, or those games die and die hard and die fast.
