I mean you can't even progress anything and there's still an xp cap on portal mode at this point. They haven't given any updates on a return or progression or full xp to the mode, so why keep trying to push people into it.

Because the customization is fun and many have liked the content in Portal. Don't blame DICE on the xp cap, blame all the people who decided on taking cheap shortcuts to boost their status instead of grinding like everyone else.
@VBALL_MVP My only issue is, why does it matter if people waste their time doing that? It doesn't make them any better, the challenges in this game are not difficult just time consuming. Does anyone at this point really brag about their rank or mastery as a way to feel better in this game? They have lost so many players, they may as well open everything back up. It might increase the player base again even if it leads to farming.

Here is why it matters: since progression unlocks guns, people can have all the top guns and attachments ahead of everyone else. We saw that with people melting the competition using better unlocked guns on day 2 when others are still trying to grind it out. What a great way to keep the player base.
- @VBALL_MVP What player base? The game has already lost like 70 percent of it. Besides it's not that hard to unlock attachments. And it's more of a balance issue in the game if the higher unlock guns are much better than the initial guns.
I am complaining because I paid for the game the same as everyone else. Why should my progression be limited in the official AoW mode just because some people decided to farm?

Lost 70% of the player base? Based on what facts? Steam? Just remember Steam only represents a portion of the player base, unless you have the console numbers (that no one else has) that number is just made up.
There are other ways to level up, allowing people to farm and boost just leads to other complaints of unfairness do to exploits or people complaining they maxed out already and there is no more content. So what do you say to those? Too bad for them? If so basically you are saying "what matters is what is only good for me".
There are other ways to progress, if you choose to do them.
