I agree. makes total sense. but I think logic does not apply within this dev team. profit is the only decision-maker. it sounds like this in boardroom’s across the world: “boss, we had a few bumps in the road and may have failed the consumer, but we still met our targets…”
They are missing out on increased profits from server rental, increasing the demand for rentals by direct exposure, retaining renters, all the while creating a diverse community that will increase in size, maintain its size longer, which is good for profits now and later.
A “community server” selection under the multiplayer tab to the right of “custom games”. This would give the needed exposure the community deserves, while increasing long-term profits and market share from a fan base that feels valued.
To be fair Star, both should be ashamed. The players who act this way should be ashamed of acting like petulant children and / or racist douchenozzles. Ea should be ashamed that they dont enforce section 6 of the ToS and for the state of the RSP server controls or lack thereof.
Yep, I rented a server. No one. No one ever joined. I’m not planning on renting a server until Dice lists rental servers at least equally with their official servers. If anything server preference should be listed by region and ping rate. Not Dice official servers and nothing else.
And you can’t even kick this part of the society that is only ranting on the private server because only the server owner can.
It’s like having a NBA game but the referees could not penalize any player because only the club owner is able too.
Keep in mind folks Starscream agrees with us but is in that position of agreeing, yet maintaining the persona of a EA/DICE Rep. You can only say so much. Give him and Braddock a break whydontcha.
