Remove loot boxes and make it a multiple choice selection, one item from a list, that way there is no gambling and prices are set.
Item list must be shown prior to payment, that way the onus is on the buyer.

Yep, I think not only Belgium, but whole EU should take out a stance for this garbage.
Let's add the whole world.

Agreed, that is a much better system.

2 Loot boxes

4 Trash Anticheat,almost every multiplayer title is FULL of cheats. (Battlefield - Star Wars)
5 Fascism in forums.Covering up their dirt by censoring or deleting posts they don't like.They even ban people...
6 BF3 -BF4 specific, Most if not all servers not owned by EA,which means the admin can troll and ban anyone for his amusement and EA has no control over it.

.....complete waste of money

I didn't even know they had forums anymore. I used to venture to Bioware forums back in the day though.. the mods weren't well liked.

I stop playing Star Wars Battlefield by feeling discussed of the amount of cheaters and hackers. Even on the global chat, the Chinese and Russian players were talking about what overlay hacking tool is better and what's what. The report system it's also garbage and has no effect....
