How are bugs like weapon attachments not unlocking and the ability to equip a damn skin or weapon charm still broken? Are we all just wasting our time reporting bugs? Please don't move this to the bug report section. These issues have been reported numerous times over the space of months. This is a discussion about why they're not being addressed and why you continue to ignore your customers.
DICE TeamAs a short summary that is because "simple" bugs don't take priority over bugs that have a more severe impact on gameplay.
@Straatford87
What about players that purchased your "Hailstorm" skin as an example, the few that continue to support your game with their hard earned money that cannot even equip their purchase? Do you not care about these people? Are these people low priority to you guys? Wow.
Just take their money and leave everything broken for months? Is that seriously EA's attitude?
I've also read this seasons patch notes and I'm staggered that most, if not all of the bugs listed get priority over weapon attachments still not unlocking. There's already another thread about it out of what must be approaching 100's since release in Novermber last year, posted today - https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Weapon-attachments-not-unlocking/m-p/11780450#M130357

@CantGetRight
Yeah that's it. I know you're probably here to help and thanks in advance.
However me and you both know there's a workaround for that particular skin but other people will not search forums just to be able to equip their purchase. Some of them even get passed from pillar to post contacting support like I have done in the past.
This bug should be fixed by now if EA/DICE valued their customers. Instead customers that continue to support this game, that purchase skins are literally wasting their time on two fronts. The first one being contacting support and getting nowhere with their issue and secondly posting bug reports that get ignored.
This thread is a prime example of people wasting their efforts that we both posted in - https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Skins/m-p/11771519#M129564
The other issue is some of these skins and charms do not have a possible workaround as they're not in the store.
Community ManagerHi @I_DYN4MO_I,
Regarding the weapon attachments (etc.) not unlocking, while you have reached the requirements for it, we have a thread about this here.
If you're experiencing that specific issue, please reach out to the EA Live Support team for assistance.
Thanks.

the aim down sight one is rough. i jumped in a helo and got out and then i couldn't use the FXM-33 because you have to aim to use it. is that considered a severe impact bug (that has been around for a WHILE)?
Not mention they introduce new bugs while fix some old bugs,maybe next year the game will be polished or never.
Not being able to use parts of the game that should clearly be unlocked by now is not severe enough for you?
@EA_Leeuw
Imagine having to contact support just to be able to equip a skin someones purchased or to unlock attachments thats a fundemental part of progressing in the game.
Imagine this happening for 10 months with no fix yet fixes like (quote from your patch notes) - "Angel's Ammo Pouch is now easier to throw towards friendlies that needs ammo" or "Fixed issues with weathering effects not being consistent on Angel's Loadout Crate" taking priority over locking players out of their purchases and progression.
Staggering.
BTW contacted support about the above and they cannot help. Don't waste your time.
