Why promote a Custom Portal Game Mode
Am I the only one who finds it tone deaf to promote a new community portal mode on Fridays? I mean you can't even progress anything and there's still an xp cap on portal mode at this point. They have...

@VBALL_MVPWhat 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?
I don't use twitter so I had no idea they promoted custom Portal modes, but I have played a ton of portal.
I have had all attachments unlocked for all weapons for a long time, so I really have no reason to play AOW over Portal anymore unless I just feel like playing AOW. (I was still playing portal regularly before unlocking it all to)
As someone else said already, some people just play to have fun and doesn't care about grinding for exp or unlocks.
EA and Dice need to shout about Portal mode louder. There are many people whining about having the Battlefield they want but it's right there in Portal. I'm sure most people complain without switching the game on. The mode is clearly visible from the main menu.
One of the main reasons I bought this game was because of custon portal. But I (and many 1000s others) havent touched it for a while because of the restrictions. They killed this mode after 1 day.
I dont even blame the players with the xp farms. Dice knew that xp farms could be a problem since July 2021 and said there would be measures etc in place. Obviously they lied or forgot to implement them and instead handed the xp farmers everything on a silver platter to do what they want.
Now because of Dice's laziness or incompetence (which doesnt surprise me) custom portal and solo/coop has to suffer with restrictions, instead of being how it was on release day and how it was intended, and why 1000s of people bought the game in the first place.
With the just how bad the game is doing and the painfully low dwindling player base they should just take off all restrictions, and all they need to do is put an xp block on AI that is put below 100% health when creating a custom portal, but apparently that is too much hard work for them
These implementations should have been in the portal creation page before release, and not an after thought when the xp farms were already in place.
