No this isn't it.
Honestly I don't get the Stigma about bots.
Some people can't play pvp as well, or just don't want to sweat or play super seriously. Or heck even want to play HC, but cant from that.
and bots is the least they could do to make up for the removal of campaign.
This game is already dying, and bots have even been seen in AOW multiplayer from the player base leaving to other games.
No exp from bots would be darn near the final nail in the coffin for some people.
People won't sit and wait around for servers to fill if you don't get Xp from bots will you wait.
They need to just swallow their pride, and restore XP back to portal regardless.
That was literally what they promised. People will always find a way to exploit the system.
Yeah, I don't get the issue either. Many of us play games with campaigns that are against AI. ....what's the difference in a scenario like Portal for those (like my friends and I) who just want to co-op with buddies? ....or play PvP with just friends and add bots to fill slots on either team?
We simply don't like playing most PvP games with strangers. It has nothing to do with "gittin' gud" and everything to do with being fed up dealing with all the negatives associated with dealing with randoms. ......exploits, cheating, annoying behavior, lack of teamwork, etc. We are all older and just tired of dealing with most others to be honest.
Having said that, there are exceptions. Hell Let Loose is a good example as teamwork and communication is an absolute necessity if you want to have any fun with it. The whole "lone wolf" approach simply does not work and it really incentivizes players / teams to cooperate.
