Nope, trying to make Battlefield appeal to the player-base of every other F2P FPS/Arena-style shooter out there is how we got into this mess in the first place.
The next Battlefield needs to get back to what made the series great to begin with, no silly-* skins, higher skill ceiling on all vehicles, realistic looking soldiers/vehicles/weapons, grittier, dirtier, meaner while balancing it all out with a fun factor a few clicks above a mil-sim.
Go back to the Class System (with regular nameless, faceless soldiers, no goofy outfits and or colors, personally I could care less if they even stopped selling skins altogether)
Clan/Platoon Support (and for crying out loud don't make it so hard to just play with your friends in the same squad/server)
Server browsers, persistent servers (preferably with an option to have community-run servers) minimum 60Hz
Proper Squad Management, with the ability to lock squads, kick players, leave a squad, start your own etc. etc.
WAY more maps, modes, vehicles, weapons just a helluva lot MORE.
And I'm sure a LOT more than I can think of right now, but free-to-play and selling whacky skins sure as hell isn't the answer.

@Ironhead841 this is exactly what we need, not more trend chasing that mired us in this maddening situation in the first place.
