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.

Which is fine, if they don't care about grinding for XP or unlocks, then why get mad about XP caps? It doesn't limit the gameplay at all.
I only play portal, I loved playing Rush and loved all the custom content. It's fun, I still get my weapons attachments and I still get xp to progress. It is not like you get nothing for playing it, you still get rewarded, to some it's never enough though and are trying to speak out of both sides of the mouth saying that people don't care about grinding and XP but yet complain there is an XP cap. It is like they are trying to cover the fact that they really want to be able to get boatloads of XP but instead taking the opportunity to just blame DICE for everything since that is currently the "in" thing to do.
The argument makes no sense, people don't want to play the main multiplayer and instead want to play custom modes to have more fun; boom DICE provided. In previous titles, you couldn't get XP or attachments in custom modes just due to the fact people were trying to shortcut ways to progress which made it unfair. DICE changed that, yet people abused it. DICE could have just shut it all off, but they didn't....they want people to play Portal, so they tried to keep farming from overtaking the community and still give XP and attachments for people playing it.
I believe if more people played Portal they would see all their complaints about classes, content, and maps are all moot because one has it all in Portal.
