A ToTaL Refund

There's an academy? LOL

Seriously, I'm about the last person that anyone can accuse of being a white knight or a shill. I've called them out on plenty over the years, I'm just stating a fact, free of charge. You might not like what I have to say, but that doesn't make it any less true, sadly.

But if you know any shills and where they're getting paid, let me know, I'd like in on the action lol.

Dunno what you are talking about...

LoL with the sneaky sneaky.

I know, it's simply shocking. But people can do whatever the **** they want with their money. Woo!

Healer on one of my raid teams is an aussie. Main tank in another is a kiwi. We're still getting on fine.

As others said, best you can hope for is a refund on your last sub payment. Anything before that, get fked, you already got what you were paying for.

About as ridiculous as this...

I'm going to have my lawyers look into suing every entity I have ever given money to in my entire life. Yes, I paid for those items and services and reaped the benefits of them, but now I'm just pissed at the whole world so I think I deserve to get a refund on everything I've ever bought in life.

On a serious note, I can understand demanding a refund on remaining subscription time if you have one of those 6-12 month subs and you have like 2+ months left. You might have a case there. If you are suffering 300+ ping and you can demonstrate that you cannot properly play the game (i.e. can't hit targets because you can't see them, can't do raids because you can't see big boss attacks coming in time, can't heal because they can't monitor party health in real time, etc. due to severe lag). Although it would probably become a class action lawsuit.

And for people who cite terms of service. They do not hold up in court (nor ever used as a defense) because they are not an agreed upon contract. You cannot sell someone a product and then, after they'd taken it out of the packaging and effectively rendered it "used" spring a legally binding contract stating they can do whatever they want and you have no recourse. Especially considering you can't prove it's been read. No signature. No deal. But that's not what a TOS is. ToS exist because the company has to establish what the consumer is purchasing and inform consumers on how they can utilize said product. It's the terms of using the software. That's it. It's not legal force field that makes them immune to prosecution. If EA does something bad they still have to own up to it. Gaming companies get sued by costumers and sometimes lose (typically a settlement). Although terms of service are not necessary for a company to make a case in court. That's not what they are for.

Well, actually the little ticky box that you find at the end of all these things, serves as 'proof' that you read it. Whether you did or not, that's on you, not the company. That's why everyone jokes about selling their souls to a company, because few read and just tick the box to get on with it, but the ticky box does the job of showing you read and agreed to the contract and it is indeed a contract. Even the IRS accepts virtual signatures and holds them as binding.

Actually you're right. It is a breech of Australian law. And they've admitted to lying about it. But I think you'd only be entitled to the last month or two of buying stuff not everything you've ever spent.
