BF 6 portal mode.......

So, least to say, this is horribly executed. You have a GLOBAL list, where one country can just create 60 Farm XP, FLY PLANE<, ME HELICOPTER servers and that's it. Nobody else can make anything. Why is the list GLOBAL. You have 5 main regions of which people play from. You should have, a data centre in each, enough hardware and bandwidth to host X servers in EACH region and THAT is your cap. Not whatever in the poorly thought out thing this is.

75% of the active portal servers up now are FLY AIRPLANE AND HELICOPTER and that's all they do, farm XP whilst doing so.

It's a joke, and if you asked the player base, these kinds of servers would be taken down and the hosts stopped from creating such monstrosities.

Again though, the servers on global should be populated (with an option) in your OWN region. The server lists should cap themselves WITHIN your region. It's bad enough there is no offline play/bot play like 2042 had with it's co-op thing, but this is quite bad. Not everyone wants to get home from work and join a server with 63 others sweating it out. Some of us would like a relaxed environment.

Please, sort this out, it's needed and the implementation so far is horribly inefficient.

Regards.

No just shut down PvE servers is the answer. See what I did there? I am thinking ONLY about myself as you did. Yes I am being sarcastic.
EA needs to separate progression between PvE and PvP. Progress as you want on either side but it does not carry over when changing play modes. Yes, you would have two characters. Big deal. You want to unlock and progress faster for PvE play, then earn it only on PvE servers.

Do a little looking around. There are dozens if not hundreds of empty persistent portal servers taking up space at any given time.

These empty servers need to be taken down by the system so we can create and play our own experiences.

Over 2 weeks and STILL can't create a portal mode. You've gone from the stupidity of "global slots taken" to just some generic error code now. Great release... Some of us have work, jobs, limited time and just want to relax in a different environment. "BOT FARM | 24/7 FULL XP, UNLOCKS GET ALL GUNS" all over the place is not it, either. You say you are taking down bot farms, but you report them and "we found nothing wrong" comes back. Come on... Spend some of your money you make... BILLIONS off us players and we can't have proper servers to paly on? Even official ones are 50/50 whether you suffer from packet loss if you are more than 20ms away from the server. It's absolutely ridiculous. And it's the route back/your throttled data centres it's happening in.
