EA keeps silent on their banning policy for months even RPS tries to contact them in this matter... with no reply in a loong time.

And YES, its like that, even when you shouldnt be affected from forum ban it happens that people get locked frome their games sometimes for trivial things, some get a perma-ban and account deletion (meaning loosing all their games).
Its so ****ed up I dont even know how to comment this 'customer friendly' approach.

So I ask again, how can EA reassure me of anything if they can not handle their inner policies and procedures? And there goes changing EULAS at ones whim...

Yeah no reply, aside from, you know the entire other article about them fixing the guy's ban.

Link?
My info is from december, bans still in effect. One redeem is not revelant in this matter. Is the problem solved entirely? Link to the statement please or it didnt happen.

Instead of preemptively insulting people, just provide a link that explains the whole banning bit, or any other point you wish to make. Cause you're coming across as tool right now.

I hadn't heard of the "cursing" but according to capslock, he was involved in scamming people.

Ah okay.

Aw I can't get my groove on infront of hostile monsters?

You should hear what they're pulling with TOR, banning people for cursing in a private chat, banning low level people for going into high level areas, the list goes on. EA can't keep screwing PC users like this and expect anyone but the most blind of fanboys to come back. They'll be the new Ubisoft.

Cursing is against the games ToS, private or public, and they went into high level areas to exploit the loot there and unbalance the economy.

So yeah.

Hah, I've recently read that they were banning people who used the dance emote in hostile areas. Just because the /getdown dance command makes them invincible to attacks while dancing. The official response was, "thou art banned if thou dance in the non-dance zone". I had a good laugh.

Generally with bug related exploits in MMOs, you're only punished if you exploit them to irrational degrees(going through high level instances and just dancing when you get low on health).

Let's not get too off topic. You know Priestly is lurking for a reason to lock and bury this thread. Attack a common enemy, namely spyware and it's forced installation, and invasion of our privacy!

Looks like I won't be playing ME3 for a while. Thanks Bioware. Thanks.

(I still haven't played DA2 cause of the exact same issues, so yeah...)

While that is understandable, a permanent ban without even the first warning was uncalled for.

Also, found the link to the official response.

I would buy Mass Effect 3 DRM-free through GOG.com, like Witcher II and PlaneScape: Torment. I would buy it with Steam DRM. Every single experience I have ever had with EA Origin has been horrible.

I recently bought Dragon Age and Dragon Age 2. I had to download each multiple times because EA distributed faulty keys, could not provide notice when a correct key would be provided, and required the complete re-download of the entire 12 and 8 GiB games just to get a new key. It took approximately 10 days of continuous re-downloads until the installer worked. Then, the launcher refused to allow me to start the game until I made an EA Origin account. So I made an EA Origin account, which took another day because EA's servers kept returning errors whenever I tried to make an account. So, I try again, log in to my EA Origin account through the Dragon Age launcher. Then Dragon Age launches and I have to log into EA Origin again. ... Okay. At this point, I'm prompted for my product keys again. Yes, the same damned keys I got from EA Origin and the same damned keys I already entered during installation. Okay. Now, my game came with DLC. No... it didn't. So I spend the next four hours hunting down the DLC I paid for. I have to download EACH AND EVERY DLC INDIVIDUALLY and run their separate installers which each seem to have some automatic delay built in. One of the things I have to download are the PC high resolution textures, for the PC version of the game I downloaded. I would not have even known about the low quality textures if I hadn't had the foresight to check that my DLC was already installed.

Basically, EA is a really incompetent publisher. Origin is an incompetent effort. Even if it worked, it would still have all the other problems people have mentioned. Maybe EA is really good on the developer side, or maybe their heavy-handed crap works well in the console market, because the console platform developers can hit them back.

Do you know what doesn't suck? GOG.com. Know what else doesn't suck? Steam. Two clicks to buy a game. DLC automatically installs. You only have to deal with CD keys if the game developer or publisher decides to keep their CD key authentication system when they sell on Steam. If you have to enter a key, Steam gives it to you on the Steam console when you start the game up so you can copy and paste it into your game.

You can really tell the difference in focus between Steam and Origin. Steam is focused on customers, like Amazon.com. They have exceptional customer service, and focus on making things as simple and stream-lined as possible for the customer. EA Origin is focused on Steam, and trying to push Steam out of turf they want to take a profit out of. EA cares about "market" in MBA-retardese. The concept of the "customer" can take a flying **** as far as they're concerned.

Joystiq somewhere. I'll look for it, since my googlefu is best apparently. If one redeem isn't relevant, though, then I shouldn't bother looking because it was just the one (and no, not the DA2 one from earlier last year.) But I will look and link when I dig it up, just for your cupcake.

Frankly, I think it's awesome people get banned for being pricks on the internet.

Like when you call people with differing opinions trolls, yet don't say anything to the actual trolls? Yeah my confidence in your unbiased moderation of the forums is really skyrocketing.

Try reading the TOR forums. There's a big long post about the entire thing by Stephen on there. At least 14 articles on the internet too. Nor do I care what I come across to you, if you're too lazy to do research about something before bleating about it on the forums as fact, you deserve being called out on it.

Also, it wasn't preemptive.

What teluial said is another major gripe I have with origin. As it is now, it is a buggy pos that should still be in beta. I feel for the poor people who were forced to use it for BF3 and still can't play it without issues. Even if I swallowed my pride, and concerns for privacy and downloaded it for ME3, there is no guarantee that I will be able to play it the day I download it. Maybe not for days/weeks.

Too bad user scores aren't really meaningful anymore at all nowadays.

I'd say they're far more meaningful than review scores submitted by reviewers receiving 1000 dollar care packages from publishers.

Oh? Well, i have yet to receive such a thing. Maybe i should complain.
