I shouldn't have to level up. I don't care how many bots caused issued. Lots of programs are available to prevent bots from taking over. EA has the ability to have some one write a program. I feel like I am being punished even though I have been a member of EA since I can't even remember when. I just know that I was playing Club Pogo for a long time before I got interested in Sims 4.
Forcing players/customers to use a point system to voice their opinions/critiquing their products is unprofessional. It is not our job to control the bots. I don't waste my time sitting on Forums to "point up". I come to check out what is going on in the game, other players' ideas or issues. I come to offer some ideas of my own but I am not allowed to post because they consider me a NEW member still! This system is wrong. There may be some people that enjoy clicking or commenting just to do it. I am not one of them. This system offends me as a gamer, as an adult and as a fan of Sims 4!
P.S.- I won't return to see any comments for a long time. I would if they sent out a email or a message saying that I got a response.
