Xp ranking no good

We still often see players coming into the BF4 support section complaining or screaming (depending on their type or the day?) about not getting certain weapons in the game at their disposal.  As they say: "I paid the full price for this game and all the DLCs!".

So consider themselves entitled to get it all from day1 and not having to grind through any XPs or assignments.  I recall this often to be a contagious subject for some players struggling to qualify for the weapons such as the UCAV or the GOL Magnum.

It's not easy to make everybody happy in this world...

@CyberDyme
This is a problem, a part of the community wants items that are 'hard to get'.

On the other hand, all players paid the same for the game, and making some of the content only reachable for part of the community is a problem. At least gadgets and weapons should be available for all players.

That's why I think the old medal system is better, only a few get the special medals (like being MVP 50 times).

On that I totally agree. The things that are really "hard to get" should be cosmetics only.

@730zLBGORILANo, I really hated the wierdly complex assignments Battlefield had and arbitrary challenges stopping you from leveling up I think is really bad. I don't want to be stuck on a level just because the game asks me to do some ridiculous challenge. The last example you gave is one that would really frustrate me and other players.

The challenge wouldn't be ridiculous for example: rank 5 . 5000 xp 10 kills in round. Rank 10 revive 10 soldiers and kill 5. Rank 15 resupply 10 soldiers and kill 5. Rank 20 spot 20 enemies and kill 5. Rank 25 destroy 1 tank or assist in destroy 1 tank. This is just an example. Now there is nothing hard about these assignments

@bishtop Sometimes yes, but more often doing their own thing and not helping take objectives. Not too bad in defense, but in an attacking scenario, sitting in the wrong part of the map trying to improve K/D or complete a challenge means they are pretty much useless. Prioritizing objective achievement rather than kills, means people get rewarded for trying to win. There will always be modes like team deathmatch for those that want to prioritize kills (and in such modes kills are the objective).
