Yesterday we were 13 people online on a server - 13 people waiting, while staring at the screen:
13/16 players necessary to start the round
(or whatever the text on the screen says)
Is it completely impossible to get through to EA/DICE about having this changed, if nothing else to 8 players necessary to start a round?

Sadly this scenario is becoming increasingly common and can only get worse once the Season 7 ends.
As I have said previously one player starts worked perfectly for the Official Portal Weekly Experiences such as World Tour etc and imho should be introduced for all AOW / Official Portal modes asap. (I notice they have recently increased the Portal Experiences to 4 players needed to start which was a backward step)
With a dwindling player base anything that can be done to allow faster access for players should be a priority, we spend way to much time waiting to play rather than actually playing which is an unnecessary frustration which could be easily resolved.
There is an easy way to play with less number of needed players: Portal.
You can create your own server with your own rules. You can disable the operation system, you can have team skins (eg male vs female), you have a server browser, you can have a good map rotation, you can kick/bann players when they are cheating, you can adjust the damage between weapons vehicles and aircraft, you can remove the minimap and spotting system to improve the squadplay.
But the problem is: When you add Ai for not to have a empty server, than you get only restricted XP, no masteries and you cant earn the tier 1 skins.
Please EA/DICE remove the xp restriction from ai filled portal games and let us play the better Battlefield 2042. We realy want to play your game and spend money, but only for changed game rules!

I agree.
I understand the sentiment, but when you can gain full experience and T1 skins in a setting where you can add AI at will, it becomes easier to gain T1 skins, and their relative rarity drops. With that in mind, you can't change it easily.
One player starts are needed in all game modes.

Agreed and the sooner the better if we want to retain players, so many will leave the game in frustration at having to queue endlessly in lobbies.
DICE please make it happen.
