Well, the Aussie servers have been fucked for 3 weeks straight now with a lot of pissed off players.
As EA has been not able to fix the issues people have started requesting full refunds.

I just lodged mine, person on the chat didnt even fight it. Guess its quite a few people have been requesting refunds and it says to me EA has no plans to fix the issue anytime soon.

Shit that's poor. I actually have BF1. But really never played it much. About 2-3 hours worth. I'm not even sure why I didn't play it more... it wasn't too bad. I'm pretty much boycotting EA, and I know i'm not alone. The Battlefront 2 debacle was the last straw for me, and I generally don't like the 'pay to win' business structure and paying through the nose for content that probably should have been there from the beginning. The only way the gaming community can fight back is with their wallets.

They really screwed the pooch on this one and they know it. The fact they are doing refunds to Australian players tells me they either dont know whats wrong with their servers or they dont really care as they are on the track to releasing the new Battlefield and we are a small market.

Got my refund in my Paypal account this morning for the base game and the premium pack, just gotta wait till Paypal reimburses the card I used and itll be all done.

If you own it its worth trying to refund it. I was expecting some push back from EA's end but the person on the help chat didnt even fight it, just asked for EA proof of purchase ID codes and purchase ID codes from Paypal and it was in the list for manual processing. Had to be done manually as it was purchased over 60 days ago. Usually I just stop playing a game but as I was still enjoying this one and I saw others were getting their money back I thought ide try it on. Took about 15-20 min over chat at 4pm yesterday whilst at work and the refund was completed at 11pm last night.

I got my moneys worth out of it. Played it for about 48 hours and got to level 72, unlocked all the guns worth unlocking so was just really playing it still cos I was enjoying it untill you couldn't even stay in a game for a few mins before the server would crash and kick every player...

If they manage to sort it out, you could probably buy it back for a lot less than they refunded.

I got 60 hours of it so I'm not fussed about a refund. Just wonder if they think all the people they're pissing off are going to rush out to buy Battlefield V when it comes out. Not sure why anyone would if they can't sort out servers for such a long time.
