I just had a chat with EA live support, not really helpful but they guy (or girl lol) said that they will be refunding all lost stuff in about 2-3 days. Guess we will see soon if this is true.
/sigh I would expect those customer support guys to at least have fast typing skills. Seriously I can write about 100 words per minute and it is so annyoing waiting there for FEW MINUTES to just get a one line long answer...
Sourabh:
Thanks for contacting EA Help! My name is Sourabh how may I help you?
Sourabh:
May I please have your first and last name to update our database?
you:
Yes, of course. My name is xxxxxx.
you:
Recently, 1 or 2 weeks ago shall we say I bought 4,000 BioWare points in your store. I spent most of them on Mass Effect 3 Multiplayer DLC content - mainly gear. After that, I played one or two multiplayer matches and all my MP equipment just simply vanished. On top of that, not only the gear that I bought with real money vanished. I also lost ALL my previous unlockables that I managed to obtain by playing the game. Rough estmiate is about million credits or so. Now, why do I contact you and what do I expect in the first place. Well, it would be great if I could get either in-game credits refund or BioWare points refund. If I won't get any of these, I am afraid I will be forced to contanct my bank and cancel the transaction because it is a lot of real money we are talking about here. I decided to contact your support because while back there was a discussion thread created on Mass Effect 3 officiall forums. Another customer there said that he contancted live origin support and that all BioWare points were refunded to him, along with something extra as an compensan for all his frustration involved. Thanks in advance for your help, hope you can clear this up because at this moment I am far from being a statisfied customer of yours.
Sourabh:
Hello xxxxxxx
you:
I can give you all essential information needed for refund, including the order numbers.
5 minutes passed....
you: Sorry to intrrupt your answer, but typing a message takes you a bit of time. Are you still there?
Another 5 minutes passed...
Sourabh:
xxxxxx , I do understand this . But we can not provide refund for bio ware points that you purchased. The purchase done is full and final
you:
All right then, care to explain why you treat your customers differently?
you:
I would expect any professional comapny to treat its customer on equal basis.
you:
I would ignore this if real money was not involved.
you:
But I spent over 50 euro in your shop, bought game content.
you:
And lost ALL OF IT.
you:
And you are claiming that YOU CANT REFUND IT?
you:
I will be contancting my bank soon I am afraid, because this is just not right.
3 minutes passed...
you:
You still there or?
you:
Am I talking to myself.
you:
Hello?
you:
Nice live chat customer support you have there.

Highest level of quality I see.

Sourabh:
Please try to understand this Pawel as we can not provide refund for points purchased.
you:
All right but you said same thing as before and still did not answer my question.
you:
Please scroll your screen and read again what I asked.
you:
Also, it would be nice if you typed a bit faster. Thanks.
3 minutes passed...
you:
Umm, hello?
Sourabh:
Yes
Sourabh:
Due to the nature of the issue, I’ll need to forward the matter for further review. One of our Senior Support staff members will review the matter and get back to you, via e-mail, within 24-48 hours. Meanwhile, we thank you for your continued patience.
Sourabh: I was told by Mass Effect 3 development team that you should be getting your full refund in about 2-3 days. Please wait for fix from their side and if after said time you will still have same problem, contact our support again.
you:
All right then, thank you for your time I guess.
you:
No, there is nothing you can further assist me with
you:
Have a nice day.
Sourabh:
Thank you for contacting EA. Is there anything else I can help you with today?
you:
/eternal face palm Can you read or you have problems with that as well? I would expect you to be able to write and read at least. Scroll bro, won't bother to write it again.
Ended chat right here, ffs.
I will schedule a call back now, for whatever its worth. I'll tell you if I was given any refund after talking via phone to their representative...
