Why did they put real players back in bot royale?

I wasn't sure until tonight, but real players are back in bot royale evolved.  I was in a gunfight and did a jump down from a platform as Ash and did an arch through the air to make it difficult to track me.  These players were using movement tech and one perfectly tracked me as I did a ghost strafe and fall from a high place.  Even players in ranked would have trouble tracking me when doing a maneuver like that, they would have to wait for me to hit the ground before shooting.  These were definitely real players.  It would take the reflexes of someone like Hal or Timmy to make a shot like that.

Also while hiding before the gunfight I noticed they were at the loot box equipping higher attachments for their guns, and it was as if they were communicating agreeing to let each other have the better items while one stood back and let the other equip.  This is not bot behavior.  

If EA is intending on no real enemies, is it possible hackers are somehow getting beyond the system or maybe the system is malfunctioning still letting real players in as enemies using some of the code from the previous version of bot royale evolved?

If I'm wrong and this is actually bots just programmed well with ingenious AI, then they are awfully good bots and they desperately need an easy, medium, hard option for bot royale. Lol

  • In a very weird and typical Respawn waffle, they said they were going to "mostly" take the live enemies out of the mode, but not take them "completely" out of the mode.

    In practice I see the live players very seldom anymore. Although when I do it's just as a much a deal-breaker as it was before. I'll quit that match in less time than it takes to say, "Oh hell no."

    In the mean time, if anyone can explain to me the rationale behind the "mostly/completely" thing then I sure would love to hear it.
