If EA doesn’t want to “KICK” people

I remember exactly how awful Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 were when you could be kicked from a squad. There were always players who refused to PTFO who weren't in squads. Surely, this is because they were kicked from squads, not because they just don't care about PTFO. I should have tried to invite them into my squad more often to help them out, that would have gotten them to PTFO for sure!

You know what would be better than having squadless people not PTFO? Having all those squadless non-contributing players in squads not PTFO, occupying a slot or slots which could go to people who want to PTFO. That way, you've got a half dozen non-cohesive squads instead of a bunch of cohesive, focused squads. This makes sure non-contributing players don't feel left out. They deserve the right to be able to use the other contributing PTFO players in their squad as a spawn point to get them into better or more convenient positions to snipe from, because walking or driving from the uncap or nearest point to find a nice place to camp is just too hard.

You know, the way it is right now.

@Calhoun0 You could be kicked from squad in BF1 and I think in BFV as well so this isn't a request for a return from the old days that we haven't seen since the '00s, it's a current piece of squad management being intentionally left out of a modern game. There are valid reasons to kick people from squad such as he doesn't stick with the squad giving you a 25% penalty to your combat effectiveness, you're friend was coming but the rando beat him to the squad, or he's being toxic and you want him out. There are far more benefits to having a kick feature than drawbacks.
