I'd hardly say that one week is nothing. And three weeks is simply unacceptable. When you're a subscriber you're a paying customer with certain benefits that follows. This includes the guarantee of customer support - it's stated on their own website. Not to mention this isn't a minor issue that revolves around a side-quest. This is the main storyline, of a character that I have invested considerable time and money into.
I could create a new character, that much is true. But I just recently bough several character changes which include a change of name and appearance. If I simply create a new character, then these investments will have been for naught. I'm sorry but implying that waiting a week, and in your case three weeks, for customer service is being impatience, is just pure denail about the issue at hand. I've never experience a three week queue for customer support from any other game.
I'll acknowledge that it is very possible, that they're busy with other tickets. But the whole idea of switching to the EA Support from the localized BioWare Austin support was improved response time. At least, that's what they stated. Budget being the much more likely cause of the change.
I'm hardly the only one either. Looking through these forums a lot of people have unanswered questions, some more severe than others. Some dating several months back.
So no, I won't be patient and wait around for something that might not happen before three or four weeks.
