...At least in my eyes.
I contacted EA about my Middle East Service Ribbon and actually got a real response! So now that my stats are updating properly on the servers I play on, and they gave me a real response, they've redeemed themselves for me. Check it out:

Thank you very much for looking into this for me. You've redeemed EA in my eyes by actually helping and not giving some canned answer. Kudos!

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts.
After doing some investigation, I have found that you are indeed qualified to earn the Mid-East Service ribbon, which requires play on each of the Mid-East maps to earn. I have added the ribbon to your soldier profile and you should see it reflected in your BFHQ shortly.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Take care,
EA Rep Fenris

Alright, I'm confused.
Last time I asked about this, I was given the generic "you haven't fulfilled all the requirements yet" message from you guys - likely without even looking at my stats. So now I ask you this:
I have done more to try and gain my Middle East Service Ribbon than I did to get my Far East Service Ribbon. Yet the prior is not in my awards. What's the deal?
I've played on every MEC map as both US and MEC. I've played almost 15 hours as MEC - almost as much as I've played as China, and I got the Far East Service Ribbon after around 3 hours as China. I've won at least once on each MEC map.
I've done everything I did to obtain the Far East Service Ribbon and more, and STILL I don't have the Middle East one.

Can someone, without giving me a copy-pasted snippet from your list of generic answers, either confirm or deny that this ribbon is broken?
I ask this because of a rumor that it's glitched if you've played BF2:SF before you obtained it, and that you will never achieve it.
There's a ton of people on various forums that have stated they got it when they first started playing by just doing all the maps for a short time. There's others that are a high rank that still do not possess it.
PLEASE tell me what's going on with this ribbon. It's driving me nuts that it -appears- as though I have all the requirements, yet I don't have it. Can someone there look at my stats, I'll repeat that - actually LOOK at my stats - and tell me whether it's bugged or if there is some requirement that I'm missing. Because to me, it looks like I should have it. As I said, I've done everything to get the Middle East ribbon that I did to get the Far East ribbon but it's not granting me that award. The only thing I did different is play BF2:SF after I got the Far East one but before playing all the Middle East maps.
