Why are simple bugs not being addressed?
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 bu...

@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

- @I_DYN4MO_I I see players have that skin equipped. But are you referring to not being able to re-equip it once you equip another skin?
@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#M129564The other issue is some of these skins and charms do not have a possible workaround as they're not in the store.

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)?
- @Straatford87 This is an issue that is there since day one, as are the ADS issues. Both are most likely rooted in the core mechanics of the game. If you still try to find it, why it happens sometimes with some items, you look at the wrong place.

This sounds like your a indie dev team working from home amped up on starbucks every video you brag about 4 development teams working on this game yet "simple bugs" remain in the game 5-8 months later.
Perhaps the bug is not in the game but in the staff.
You could assign a group out of the thousand or so that made this "game" into small bug fixes group. These bugs if in a public engine like unreal could be fixed by a public mod crew they would have ironed them out in weeks.
- @Straatford87 “Bugs that have a more severe impact on gameplay”
Eh am afraid to tell you that the most severe problems aren’t being addressed cough cough netcode, I have played games with better netcode ten year ago! - @Straatford87 Hopefully it's all hands on deck, all 700 of them I think I read? I hope there's enough left to be working on the game shattering PC crash / freezing issues. Dude, it's getting really hard to play this game and not get frustrated. The team needs to throw in some small things too, knocking off some low hanging fruit gives us hope that it's getting better. It's why we stick around.
