- @badcuztremysaid XP has been capped / limited since day one, it’s not a new phenomenon. There are multiple threads about it. After 2 years, there’s really no reason not to remove those caps / restrictions. If you want to play solo all the time why not? If you want to do MP or Portal modes only, who cares? There was barely a reason at release and certainly no reason now. It’s a push to make players get into multiplayer and flesh the numbers out. It’s not effective, and restrictions can be removed.
Because a "Challenged" person made the decision and nobody pulled them up on it.
Look at it another way, it's false advertising too!
At this stage of the game, just let people play it how they want, seeing as they bought it. . . . Oh wait, I forgot, we didn't buy it, we just lease it from them and they have full control.
@badcuztremysaid purely out of curiosity, what cap you're referring to? Is it the old cap @ATFGunr has mentioned or do you mean the "new / additional" cap which was introduced with the last update / start of S6?

There is no new cap, but the maximum you could gain with normal progression speed per day was limited for those modes. Then progression slows down to a crawl.
While I kind of understand for this to be the case to stop XP farming servers (not sure why you want to prevent users from grinding XP if they want to, but that is at least a reason).
But for Solo matches, this is plain out stupid. These modes are 'generated' by Dice and follow the official rules. There is no way to artificially enhance the XP gain other than killing AI and capturing objectives. Not sure who ever thought this to be a good idea to cap XP for those official solo matches as well. @ForumUser Thanks but we got a new / additional "XP cap per minute" on Solo/Coop and Portal with the last update. I've already asked @EA_Leeuw in #26 and #44 here:
Season 6 - Weekly Missions - Week 1 - Page 3 - Answer HQ
And got the confirmation with #2877 for example from other Players here:
Progression not working properly for weapons and vehicles (Solo/Coop AI) - Page 288 - Answer HQ
Furthermore I've seen many Chat comments from other Players in the meantime who has noticed that and are wondering about it so we definitively have a new cap. Anyhow, it's kind of funny to see "what fixes" are most important for DICE.

If they really imposed an ADDITIONAL cap then this would indeed be a * move I'd say.
But IF this was the case, then is was 100% intentional as those caps need to be enabled/configured and there is no way this happened by accident.There's definitely a new cap in some capacity. I decided to try one of the chopper XP farms after hearing people talk about it. Used to be 50K xp/round [not too shabby] but after piloting a chopper for a full round it "met cap" at around 15k XP. I truly don't understand why it matters if people want to spend their time doing any form of a match to level up/unlock items/etc outside of AOW let them.
So much for "play how you want" or whatever their tag line was. Now it's "play how you want *****" with several large asterisks.
@ForumUser indeed a * move.😉
@Anobix Thanks and it is easy for everyone to reproduce on Solo/Coop or "Epic Rush - Redacted only" Portal server where I see it every day as it is my favorite atm. Yep, meat grinder :D but as a "Metro-Lover" I really enjoy this map.🙂
