Why the GA matches start when there are 4 players more in a team?

Oh I know it can be considered a necro. Actually, if you stop to think about it, rules here (and in any EA forum AFAIK) are so lax, that the moderation staff can stretch interpretations as they see fit. I was just delivering my usual dissatisfaction with the fact EA mistreated their customers (not only by discontinuing the game too early) by abruptly killing our main way to exchange thoughts and opinions about the game with 0 reasons given.

And yes, the necroer hasn't contributed anything to the discussion, that's true. But considering it's a one month old topic in a low populated forum, I wouldn't label this a bad thing, like necroing a year old topic full of 1 year old posts. I only saw it because of this necro, as I only check this subforum once in a while now. Nevertheless, he definitely can have more then enough reason to behave that way. His message is horrible and not constructive at all, but coming from a customer whose product is subpar at best and full of consistent issues, and posted in a place exactly for dissatisfacted customers to come and complain with the company about what's wrong (as AHQ is a place to come when you have issues with the products and services you acquired from EA), I actually take no issue with his language and message. If EA didn't allow the mistreat of their customers in as frustrating ways as disgruntled customers come to shout out and exaggerate about the issues with the product/service they acquired, then I would agree this isn't a suitable behavior for this place. I won't start a list of reasons why I know EA has dealt very poorly with Battlefront II's community, not only because I think it isn't necessary, but especially because these tend to fit in the description of some obscure rule that allows moderation to go hard on who makes them.

And yes, there are much better ways to reply to old topics. And doing this kind of bad behavior has nothing to do with how superior or inferior a forum is, as this also happened a lot in the old forum.

One thing is certain though: This is indeed the inferior forum, and there's nothing we can do about it, unfortunately. The amount of people who were active in the old forum but never migrated, the fact we have less ways to navigate the website and to customize our profile, the only reactions being a XP button and a button which acknowledges a problem (X players had this issue)... I miss the good Battlefront Forum, despite all the issues and flaws.
