Linus, Luke you guys mentioned EA as a reference for great customer support. I'm sad to say that may be over. I'm still stuck on Xbox 360, with my workstation/gaming pc slowly inching forward. I refuse to buy another game until it's for my PC. Always loved PC, tired of console lmao. That aside, I'm hoping and praying EA still has customer service based in USA/Canada. But at least for me in reference to my BF3 issues I'm forced to contact what sounds to be an Indian call center. Below is a semi-detailed description of one, three hour phone call. Mind you I waited an hour for them to call. It was a total of four hours. I also was hung up on three times before this, and had to call two other times where I gave up. This is just the call that after a few days of frustration got my issue fixed.
Now I'm directed to what sounds like India, since the accent is thick acc hard to understand, along side music my UN-cultured ears believe to be Indian. With "game advisors" who don't even know how to clear a ban list in bf3. Something we've had to call to get fixed for years... it brought to mind stories of fake Microsoft scams. They were rude, not well trained, and unhelpful. I was super nice the first three hours. Finally after being sent from "in-game advisor1", to "tech advisor1", then to "in-game advisor2", back to " tech advisor1". I was then bounced BACK to " in-game advisor 1". Who I finally told I knew had access to the tools required to help me, also that her co-workers confirmed she had, and was simply was refusing to do it. She got angry with me, yelled over me as I was speaking, and just emotionally shut down. I finally told her to send me to her supervisor. He apologized, fixed my issue, and I moved on. Only to have a worse experience a week later. I hope I'm the only one having this trouble. But be warned guys. It actually was EA, they actually were terrible.
