You have a clear breach of contract, they [EA] have a fiduciary duty to fix said issues they are obviously aware of and have failed. Now for one person it wouldn't be a big issue but the work around on that is simple... Class Complainant i.e.. Create a class action against them.
The quantum of damages are easy to assess, they should be required to refund the money paid until fixed OR in the alternative, fix the problem! I sincerely doubt this is a hard issue for them to acknowledge and fix.
There-in lies the problem though. This is EA we're dealing with here, and we all know how much they hate people coming between them and their money. Either option is an option we're not likely to see results from within our lifetimes. I'm certainly not holding my breath, and I'm certainly not renewing my servers when they expire. That solves all the problems. I've already chalked the max-player issues up as a lost cause. As much as it pains me to say it, it's best to just suck it up and deal with it.
And yeah, I am aware that I just necro'd a dead thread.
I wish that it was just resetting from 24 to 16 players but it seems like now it has become worse than b4! You can't even populate your empty rented server due to being kicked straight off after 15secs. No matter the settings that are changed or reset, you just can't get on for more than 15 seconds.
However, there are a FEW rented servers (not DICE officials) that are able to be populated and that do not kick players off. It leaves me thinking that perhaps it is a regional issue: by location that is...
This is a forum from 2012 and this issue still continues to 2013. This is unacceptable region based or simply apathy on the part of EA/Dice I don't care they need to be taught a lesson but frankly other than not buying BF4 as a pre-release I can't think of a good one and realistically I'll be the only one doing it. EA and Dice have basically made BF3 as a money making BETA for BF4. The differences don't seem that great given what we currently know about BF4. Dice/EA you need to refund the money for my server because this player count drop happens EVERY DAY. Get some customer service EA.
