Getting a Refund is a pain in the #$%

Recommended Posts

God I am getting so irritated with these crappy customer service people. Beyond not being able to read or speak English they don't even read the previous tickets before giving you dumb information. I am fighting to get my money back for the broken game. First email says for me to email swtor.com from my accounts email address to get my money back. HELLO??? swtor.com is not an email address. After many more emails the most recent says no to a refund and I will have to get it from Origin.

 

ORIGIN SAYS TO GET IT FROM YOU!!! One of you needs to give me and all the other people who are pissed over this broken game our money back. PERIOD!!

Generally speaking you can never get a refund on software, because even if you return it, that doesn't mean you haven't made copy or something else.

 

Go to a store, buy any other program and try to return it...

You bought a game, redeemed the code for the free 30 days of play, used that time, and now you want your money back??

 

Wow... just wow.

 

Lemme guess, you're the type of person who goes to a restaurant, orders a meal, eats the whole thing, only to complain to the manager that something was wrong and demand he comp your meal???

If you gotthe game through origin use there cs on the site to talk to a rep. They were giving full refunds up till a few weeks ago when ea told them to stop. People are still grtting refunds but not as easily as before. Mght just have to get lucky. If youvr had the game for more then 2-3 weeks chances might be a bit slim though.

You don't happen to have a link to that do you?

 

And to the haters yes I have been trying to get a refund for a couple of weeks now. I played a grand total of maybe 10 hours and most of that was spent trying to fix the 100's of game breaking issues this game has.

I would like to know what game breaking issues you've found after playing for 10 hours.

Odd how some people get on and say there's 100's of game breaking issues yet none of my friends who play nor any of the hundred people in my guild has mentioned even 1.

 

I am not saying there are not bugs of course there are but "game breaking" I haven't seen or heard of any.

 

I think peoples attitudes are what "breaks" the game for them.

This is so true, actually the only real issue I have with the game is the big blue dudes on voss not having walking animations on occasion. Everthing else, the wierd AH, ability delays, graphical bugs, getting stuck in wierd places... all of the things that seem to just send some obsessives over the edge... I just work around. Things will be fixed as time goes on, im not stressed about anything at all, and I am enjoying the game thorughly.

Look the game itself is fun, and I was really starting to enjoy the story. I will totally agree with that. I truly wanted to enjoy it. However,.....

 

Framerate issues

Ability Delay

Other General Performance issues

Worst patching system on the planet

God awful customer service

Hero Engine is Fail

Etc

Etc

 

...... completely killed it for me. So, yes I want my money back. The game does not work and doesn't work for a LOT of people. Any of you who don't believe me please go take even a short look at the customer service forums. The game needed another solid 4-6 months of work to fix.

 

If I had been able to get even 30-40 hours of enjoyable game out of it then I wouldn't be asking for my money back. But 10 hours of mostly trouble shooting BW's broken game is not my idea of $60 well spent. To top it off I am told by customer service I can have my money back twice and then told to go to Origin.

 

I will figure it out and get my money back or I just won't buy EA anymore, simple as that.

 

Lastly, I truly feel sorry for you fan boys. I understand game loyalty and approve it to a degree. However, you guys are so dead set on defending this game's massive flaws you don't even realize you should be demanding better. We all deserve better. Just imagine how much better your experience would be if the thousands of people who are about to quit didn't and were also fully supporting this game. That would mean a whole lot more subscribers, which means more money for BW, which in turn means more and better content for everyone.

 

Instead of flaming the thousands of people demanding the game get fixed why don't you guys try and support them for once? Otherwise enjoy the gaming ghost town you are about to experience.
