Re: (PC) Servers are empty.

A lot of empty servers or some servers with just a few people in it, but not enough to start the game, so everybody just sits there in limbo. EA posted several days ago that they fixed their matchmaking system via a patch or so. I am not so sure it's all fixed.
Part of the issue is also the huge amount of hackers for this game. From what I have read and seen on Youtube, there are hack program sites and videos of people blatantly showing off their game id's and video of them cheating. What do you do? EA Battlefront community members say that EA is using a program called FairFight (FFBANS.org) to eliminate hackers bases on scoring statistics, but I Googled FairFight and found sites on how to beat their anti-cheat system. BTW, I have not seen any of the names of people that were obviously hacking or posting videos on the FF Ban list. Imagine that.
I believe a combination of bad server match making and too many cheats is resulting in low server populations. It's too late for me, but maybe you should just ask for a refund if possible and wait about 6 months till the price of the game drops significantly and they have some of these issues fixed or just play something different altogether. The cost benefit for this game is way to high when you look at the entertainment value versus the cost of the game.
I didn't get a single patch after the Battle for... I am not even gonna say.
