Emergency Medical Table. The Solution.

Fair questions. I thought about that too when the bug was announced.

IMO...

1) if they take the packs off sale...can you imagine the rage in the player base... "OMG.. how can you deny me my packs.. I want all those other contents.. and I want them NAO! I don't give a squrrels butt about the table!! Biofail!!!!"

2) Couple the above with the fact that they quickly put it on the launcher splash screen that it (and one other item) is currently bugged)... so anyone who want's those two things has been advised and if they have half a brain.. they will defer buyng packs until it's fixed. In other words.. they handled it like every other annoying bug.. warn the players.. so the players can make mature adult decisions about it until it's fixed, and then go fix it as quickly as possible.

ok,thanks for that info and yet people are still freaking out , even that BW is working on some type of fix and from what I get now , a way to make it up to the people who bought the packs

They actually do have a clause in their ToS regarding misrepresentation: "nothing contained in this Terms of Service limits BioWare’s and LucasArts liability to you for fraudulent misrepresentations". Roughly translated: "If we trick you into buying something under false pretense, that's still on us."

You are waffling back and forth.

The key word there is fraudulent... not misrepresentation. The two words are combined and required as part of contracts between consumers and businesses.

The term is actually boiler plate in western consumer law.. and it means that you the consumer are always indemnified against fraud by a corporation IF fraud can be proven.

Now.. take that boilerplate.. driven by federal law.. and look at it. It does not belong in this particular discussion at all. If they trick you into buying the license to the software, or the subscritption, or Cartel Coins..... NOT digital content inside the game, you have a fraud case. You need to learn the difference and the legal boundaries here.

And again.. it does not belong in this discussion because there is no way you are going to convince a court that a software bug is fraudulent misrepresentation. Whereas, selling you the software when they know they are shutting down the servers tomorrow.. that would be fraudulent misrepresentation unless they disclosed the fact that the servers were going to be shut down.

I disagree. The key is misrepresentation, which even you said they have done. Innocent misrepresentation is alright, but should it not be remedied, it is treated under law as fraudulent.

I'm good friends with a barrister and he says if a suitable solution doesn't surface I should take further action. A contract in the UK is nullified if it is signed through use of deception, is unlawful in its terms: aka go out and kill someone or face court action for not following the contract.

Easiest would be to just put it in reputation vender, needing like a friend level or something. if people really bought hypercrates they should have at least that much reputation from them.

and you still got other crap from the boxes so asking for full refund is a bit ridiculous
