... So I say something that's counter to what you experience from playing THIS YEAR during a pandemic and possibly the largest surge in players for this game ever and you think I'm just.. lying? For what? Cause I hope SE will see my post and go "OH THEY LOVE US AND ARE DEFENDING US"... nope.
Every time I've asked for help from CS (billing issues, ingame bugs, inquiries) I have had no issues and my example stands that the one time I lost access to my account it was resolved within the hour (I have never had to deal with having a "hacked" account).
I'm sorry you had problems.. but I haven't in the 10 years I've played this game.
