Come on DICE, this is getting out of hand. How are these players not banned? How are these servers allowed to run? 5 of the top filled servers in Portal are Ammo XP boost servers. I masked the names so I don't get banned again, but this is ridiculous at this point. Legit players get crapped on and scam players can get away with stuff like this without penalty.BTW, this is all over social media. I recommend not even joining those servers like the streamers have. They should be banned too, one of them joined in on the fun while streaming. This is absurd. The minute one of these pop up, it should be shut down and everyone banned by MAC Address, IP, host, etc.What is DICE going to do about this?

@Anobix My honest opinion, is that I hate the Battle Pass system and that it doesn't belong in BF. But to go into that would be to derail this post.BF needs assignment based progression, just like BF4.You progress by actually doing what you want to do.My issue with the XP Farms is that you can't turn a blind eye to it whilst still ignoring the requests to enable AI for FULL XP servers because the argument against enabling AI, which was that people would abuse it, is now baseless.Furthermore, CO-OP/Solo should allow FULL XP as well, why is it that FULL XP is allowed on a XP Farm but not in the intended experience. That is my beef here.

@S3SSioN_SoL 100% agree with ---ignoring the requests to enable AI for FULL XP servers because the argument against enabling AI, which was that people would abuse it, is now baseless.Furthermore, CO-OP/Solo should allow FULL XP as well, why is it that FULL XP is allowed on a XP Farm but not in the intended experience.

Yep full progression should be enabled like bf2042 solo/coop for bf3/bfbc2/1942 era..

If anything it would bring players back and keep existing players from leaving. The big question is do that even want that to occur?Yup, that's likely what's happening. FOMO is a catalyst for all kinds of things.It's actually no longer possible to play this game with less than the bare minimum of human players whilst still having AI and FULL XP enabled. This is because AoW is the only place where AI is enabled with FULL XP but that bare minimum player count exists. It doesn't make sense to me...Something else I noticed in last week's playlist rotation is that there was a Featured Portal experience that was FULL XP which had AI enabled, so it's 100% possible for Portal to have AI enabled with FULL XP whilst being alone in the lobby unlike AoW, just another reason Portal is superior to AoW. Those experiences also don't show up in the server browser when someone is playing them? They really should as it's unlikely anyone will click that experience if they don't know there's a lobby going for it...It's just messy, for a multiplayer only game, it's so unintuitive.

@Adamonic Under what circumstances are joining any servers like that a bannable offense? There is 0 advantage to having a higher BP level or rank in this game. If someone wants to spend an hour getting upwards of 250k XP so they don't have to feel like grinding it when the weekly missions dont supply enough points to max their BP they can./Shrug

We can't have Full XP in PVE or Server Browser, but Boost Servers are OK?

There are actually quite a few "advocates" of this game whose attitudes have changed over time due to mind-boggling decisions made by the dev team and the sometimes months-long radio-silence from them. That doesn't mean the "hive" wore them down.
@CantGetRight , myself and others can be critical of these design decisions and still be "advocates' for this title/series, personally I want the Battlefield series to shine so my feedback is 100% meant to enhance/improve the gameplay experience for everybody.
Exactly how I feel, I hate watching BF's deterioration and my hope would be that one day we can get the old BF back.
It is currently unrecognisable in so many ways so it is going to take a major overhaul to get the next title back on track.
BF has been the game that I have enjoyed over so many years, the game I had fun with, I want those days back.

@S3SSioN_SoL It was always there from the beginning. Because I’ve been playing from the beginning. And it was full xp for the first few hours of the Ea play trial. But it was quickly removed. And I’ve heard people say it’s on shortly after every patch. If that’s true it’s as simple as flipping a switch.

Are you okay, bud? It’s just a badge and skin.
