  1. Yeah, thats the problem. You cherry pick discussion points, ignoring that I a) am completely on the side of the people wanting the change that does NOT hurt/hinder the player and b) just explained why in case of a "charge back" of the player, the service provider is completely in its right to close the account. You can request a refund as much as you want, and if that is backed by hard data and in many cases backed by public outcry (IF the service provider listens to that), you may get a cancelled account + refund. I only hate when people have valid concerns (like the sight issue) and muddle that up with tin-foil conspiracy and tried to shed some light. Congrats on completely missing the point.
  2. Obviously. The service provider will shut down an account if it is not paid or charged back. That has nothing to do with malpractice, that is practice everywhere. If you want to charge back you need a backed claim. Just saying "I have the right to do so, because reasons" does not make it true. Bioware will also not close the account on "refund demanded" only on "charge back", which is fraud in the eye of the service provider (you want to use the product, but not pay for it). If you do NOT want to use the product, you can cancel the account, then you are also not paying and you take the legit way to "vote with your wallet". This line of "argumentation" sprinkled in between legit claims is part of the issue that makes seeing your posts as troll posts easy. You claim to know a person that seems to be getting migraine from playing the game. That seems to be a real issue. And then you HAVE to prove, that bioware is some awful company by framing standard industry practice as mapractice or somesuch. Let me explain: "Yesterday I went to McDonalds and bought a coffee. But they overheat the beverage as of late, without telling someone, so I got 3rd degree burns on my hands. I then did not pay for the coffee (because of the injury) and they had the gall to not let me leave? They even called the police?" Edit: since it seems to be /whooshing over some heads. In the above example "I" did not pay for services rendered, so the store is in its right to keep "me" from leaving. Simply stating "I do not need to pay, because I burned myself on your coffee" in the store, does not make the claim in itself right. Yes, I could afterwards make my damages heard, but without "backup" I have no right to just refuse payment. That also would be true for the case of the diabetic, even if bringing this up as an example is overly dramatic. Keep the argumentation to the original point and it is worth discussing, but tin-foil conspiracies help no one.
  3. I think so far ANYONE who did say "yes I like the new UI" also did say "in the skilltree it needs to be more visible, what is selected" and "the inventory borders are too bright". No one disputes that, mate. Edit: though, it is a difference to say "there are certain problems with the UI. Here they are: ..." and "ThE UI iS BaD! All Is BaD! WAKE UP SHEEPLE! HURR DURR"
  4. Serious question (as a returner after a long hiatus): a) has the UI APART from the inventory and char screen changed in any way (I did not notice any change)? b) how long do you have the inventory screen open and why? I can only speak for myself and I am still in the leveling phase for most of my toons. I have thought about my sessions and realized, that I have the char screen open only in very short intervalls (to update the gear, etc.). To have an adverse effect of the bright lines, I would need to have it open constantly. I understand that the issue should be made public and that it needs to be adressed, I just am of the opinion, that "form matters". Currently the loud consensus is (and please, I only paraphrase): "The UI is hurting me!" -> that is general (unspecific) at best and at worst just creates reactions like "dont cry, you baby". Both not helpful. I (and maybe others too) find the overly negative reactions to the UI changes overly dramatic, so REAL issues like yours are not heard, which is not good.
  5. Oookay... If the effect is this severe, why do you or your friend put up with this? If I know riding a bike will hurt my back so I have backpain for days after this, I will certainly not go out and ride a bike... No one forces people to play this game. Why not take a break till its fixed? Edit: that is me taking this serious. It is (would be) really easy to take "anecdotal evidence" for what it is: hear-say. Some people heard of people having issues and suddenly developing the same issues or having friends with the same issues, because it is suddenly vogue to sue the company providing an OPTIONAL hobby. The sensible thing is just this: Doing something that hurts oneself deliberatly is not the fault of the person providing the thing that hurts oneself. I do not know if there are the standard warningsdisclaimer for migraine/seizures before starting SWToR, but they may even have this covered.
  6. It is only subjectivly "disastrous" and this talk about class-action-lawsuits is really bonkers. Yes, it is (seems to) affecting players with medical issues and these certain aspects should be fixed in future. But the overall reaction and the mindless hate on the the whole UI thing is IMHO really blown out of proportion. If you have no other problems then hating on UI changes on some online game about space-wizards, consider yourself lucky.
  7. Yes, I like the new UI overall. I am fortunate enough to not have any medical issues that is hindering some players. Only things I do not like: a) I do not see easily which skill-option in the skill-tree is chosen and b) the outfit desiner seems to be a bit buggy. Frankly, I find the whole mindless bashing that is going on right now incredible stupid.
