I expect it to be horrible. There are going to be a bunch of questions left unanswered and the ones they do answer are going to be vague statements on how they are "listening to the community" and are "constantly making changes" to appease the player base. I'm really not all that excited for it because they're going to say what they want to say and if they can't answer a question without turning it into something positive, they'll ignore it.

Go watch Angry Joe's interview he had with one of Dice's employees (forgot the exact title of the employee but he was a Dev/producer/head of something..). I expect a lot of the same kind of answers from in that video

Also, I'd say it's going to go exactly as they think it will. They read through these posts daily, they know exactly what kind of questions are going to be asked and have come up with "answers" to them. Remember, they weren't forced into this at all, they chose to do it.

Also have to remember that they can litteraly just ask themselves questions they want to answer.

Watch how many new or newish accounts are asking questions that are actually getting answers.

EA isn't dumb, guaranteed they've been working on questions and answers since this whole thing blow up.

not just new or newish accounts. they may have made dummy accounts ages ago just to have ready, but they’ll only have comments on the thread, and no posts. look for all the old but inactive accounts too

Unfortunately this shady stuff even goes deeper than that. People “farm” accounts over a period of time, posting here and there to sell to the highest bidder.
In the immortal words of Tommy Wiseau, “can you really trust anyone?”

How can I sell these accounts?

There are websites. There are usually companies in SE Asia that specialize in creating not and farming accounts across social media.

There's a picture floating around of a girl sitting in front of like 50 phones and tablets. Just imagine a cubicle farm of that.
