I kind of hope they do a $5 sale on BF4 again as now I kind of want to play that on PC for a bit to compare and I missed that one a month or 2 back. |
Is this https://www.instant-gaming.com/shop/185-buy-key-origin-battlefield-4/ price too much?

So I guess you can gamble with VPN, if you want.

suspicious activity. Going from South Africa to your own country back and forth could be described as suspicious activity.

so one little question: did you copy the url after putting it into your basket and copied to another tab/vpn less connection and then logged it to buy or have you tried to purchase it with the active vpn?

thats why you got banned, not a surprise tbh. and the other stuff works fine since ages (and still does). just use a vpn connection or vpn plugin a browser. go to the origin site, put it into the basket. click the yellow purchase button, now it wants you to login -> copy the complete url into another tab/browser without vpn (or disconnect your vpn) and login to purchase with your normal ip

So, did anyone else recently bought any game on Origin via South African VPN (and of course disconnected VPN before logging in) ?
I know this method still works, but I would like to have it confirmed from someone who bought something recently using this method.

I don't think it's worth it anymore, a few days ago they increased the South African price to counteract people using the VPN trick.

I really wish they perma-banned you and took your money anyway. I guess I should just be thankful they didn't let you keep the game. I'll take small victories where I can.
Thanks to people like you, ALL of our games have now gone up to 1000ZAR from the standard 600ZAR. You abusing the system just screwed over an entire country. All of us now have to pay borderline unaffordable prices for EA games that we were really looking forward to. Just go have a look at how everyone is talking about it on SA game forums. We can only hope EA retracts this decision down the line and starts perma-banning people like you.
So thanks, I guess. I was really looking forward to BF1, but nobody will be able to afford it in South Africa now so it will be DOA.

Didn't they increase the price in SA?
Thought it now costs about 65€ over there.

Jezes what a shitty attitude. How about we just blame EA ey.
Pricing has always been shit. If only they'd price it reasonably instead of the highest they can get out of people in certain regions. That way people who can't afford their overpriced prices don't have to shop in other regions or resort to piracy.

monk3ybusin3ss also killed my cat!!
seriously though, it's not people like monkey or me for that matter that did this.
EA could have just as easily put in place tighter measures against the use of VPN purchases, but they just chose the easy road and hiked the prices, so in reality its EA who really fucked you with their greed and laziness

So now Monkey is responsible for putting all South Africans down?
Should not this be more directed against the obviously gorilla being.. EA?!?!?!? They are the arseholes for decades whom have become too big too fail gobbling up small dev houses and now over time have become this super-massive pretentious/arrogant corp.
I'd try with my facking last dying breath to circumvent those c*nts also at any opportunity and would expect EVERYONE else to do the same to spite them and the cancer they have largely become on the PC gaming industry over the years!

I wonder what map in BF1 will be the new Locker/Metro?
My money is on Amiens or Fao Fortress.

It's not silly, one can be a reaction to the other, people start sniping tired of the bullet spamy CQC or a reaction to the map design.
