Ideas
I kept on asking for escalation of the ticket, either to a supervisor or to the appropriate department. I stated that I wanted to file a formal complaint and described the following:
- Formal complaint in short, i.e., I was online during the outage, yet never received compensation.
- Description of actions during outage, i.e., logging in, reinstalling stuff, spam joining portal. I also stated that they should be able to see this in their logs.
- Description of what I did after the outage, i.e., checking for compensation (which I never received).
- Description of EA help / forums experience and what has been confirmed. In my case, the help agents told me I am the owner of the game, I am entitled to compensation, and all entitled players have been compensated.
- Explanation of why I want to escalate things, i.e., going around in circles with help agents and 8k+ posts being ignored completely on the forums.
Btw, if I look at the messages in my ticket including the ones telling me I need to continue using chat, I am almost at a whopping 100 messages. So I guess that also counts. Also, I always filled in the 4 questions questionaire stating my problem was not solved.
Last, it should be noted that I am (or at least try to be) polite in my emails, even though I am really pissed off. It seems everyone is also tied to a lot of restrictions...
In the end, I finally received a message that my case has been forwarded. Then, I received an email from a CR rep stating that I have reached the right departement and everything has been escalated to the right team. Fingers crossed, hoping for a breakthrough.
Yeah I got the same result. They claim to have escalated it to their boss and some department to investigate. Just wait a few days to see your ticket closed stating "No solution available".

Was the layout of email from CR rep also totally different from what you got before? In my case it is, it looks and feels like this is actually another department and is also coming from an ea.com email address...

I never heard back from them and my ticket got closed with one of their many "All affected players have been compensated, we are very sorry bla bla" scripts. I reopened it today, had to talk to yet another support employee who assured me once again that some department will investigate and contact me. Hope you have better results!

Oh man, I hope this will be different then...

What I noticed, is that all the copy-paste emails come from a customer experience email address, while the current one is coming from customer relations.
