Re: Bonus Calendar selection process gives no warning

I still had the November bonus calendar available for 14 hours.
I saw the warning and figured it would get rid of the November bonus calendar.
It seemed like a holiday season gift, the extra calendar. I thought that was really cool of them to do.
And then.. yeah... the calendar I was really looking forward to was gone but November was still there.
To make matters worse... I'm a *. No, I'm not making fun of people with mental problems. I am a person with mental problems. And this F^#^#&^@@#^&@#%&@&@$&@$& game reminded me of that very much.
Not just mental but physical, internal, intercranial.
I have always read the 1250 gem character packs as 50-350. I got Kyle Katarn $20 pack and with the gems got... the shard pack. I figured with at least 50 bonus I could upgrade him a lot.
And I got 10. I couldn't understand why but I thought it was because the gems were bought in a pack so were worth... less... like an idiot. In hindsight like an idiot.
So I bought $10 worth of gems and did it again. 7 shards.
Then I looked and looked and finally saw it. It took a few minutes for me to realize it was 5-350, not 50-350.

Between these two problems I almost uninstalled the game. My brother, who begged me to start playing, got me to keep playing. "Just don't uninstall you learned a lesson!"
Yeah. * thanks EA for reminding me what I've been told all my life is true. That I don't deserve to be alive. I hate EA so much. Predatory tactics and broken bugs. That's all EA knows how to do.

Unfortunately, it seems like the current answer is “working as intended.” There’s another thread at the top with a similar title and response from EA. Basically: you’d have known if you’d looked at the website. It’s an unfortunate response, given that I don’t go to the site and have never seen a reason to. That said, the bug here is that many of us did not get the popup notifying us that we’d overwrite the calendar. The calendars are a new feature, and I thought two was a cool December gift. As a new feature, making sure the popup works would have been really nice. Please reset the choices.
