So I found out that players are getting xp killing bots over and over, is this an accident or is it intended?What is the point of even having a progression system or stats at all, if people can just farm bots all day?I see that people are complaining about slow progression. I think it's good that it's slow personally, it's fun to grind and people who put in alot of work or dedication should be rewarded. Now a bad player can get a higher rank than a good player while playing way less cause they can just kill easy bots. I don't understand how anyone can be for this?You should not be able to get XP and stats if you're playing against bots. This is basically the case in every other multiplayer game.

Perhaps EA/Dice willl agree with you and make changes, but it is currently how the system works. Personally I want them to leave XP gain against bots as it is at the moment, so I doubt we'll find common ground on this particular topic, unfortunately.

It needs addressing, it isn't right and needs stopping, if makes a mockery of the progression system.Only 0 bot experiences should award progression.

Its intended to make the entire progression system pointless?

Maybe if the game had progression that didn’t involve no-lifing to get anything done. Oh and I also enjoyed trying the 30 kills while using adrenaline injector (which seems to last all of 2-3 seconds), then 20 kills/assists on stunned enemies and 50 squad deploys on beacon, just to try out the secondary assault kit. While doing all that my assault weapon is lvl 7. Yay.

I like that the progression is slow cause we can play the game without getting bored

Hi Petrichor2035,

It's intended as "Verified Games" in Portal currently award full XP.

I think it was a good idea to start the game off by giving full XP with bots. 👌

Why is it important to you how other players play the game and enjoy their playstyle?

Because it is a multiplayer game?
Imagine if people got highest rank while playing against bots in CS?
Im actually surprised that there seems to be a number of people who wants to get XP and Stats for free vs bots. It is ruining the integrity of progression. Whats the point of using a XP boost in multiplayer if you can just play vs bots and get 10x more XP doing nothing.
I dont understand...

They've recently commented about this already and are looking to adjust the way it works.
Portal server capacity is an issue and they mentioned that the majority of these servers were XP farms.
