Bring back full xp in Portal as per your advertisement

Nobody wants to farm bots if the stock weapons are actually usable and the accessories are easy to unlock. The reality is that a stock weapon without proper attachments is so underpowered in PVP that you barely stand a chance against players using fully upgraded gear.

Not everyone has 24 hours a day to grind. We paid for the game — we should be able to enjoy it. If it takes hundreds of hours just to unlock a few decent weapons, then yes, I’ll take the shortcut and farm bots. At least after that, I can bring some proper weapons into PVP and actually have a fair game.

    I agree with the general principle of your message, although IIRC that was more about the lootboxes and then pay2win [or grind for an extremely long time]. Fortunately, we don't have lootboxes? I still think that the general grind level for unlocking everything for a gun is extreme compared to previous titles.

  • They pulled this crapola in Star Wars Battlefront 2 in 2017 where the game was grindy to the point of being over-monetized and a huge public backlash made it to the media and EA had to pull back on it's greedy ways and change how overly grindy and monetized everything was.

    The same thing needs to happen here. BF6 is over-monetized and way too grindy...and it is the reason that bots and their associated XP award were removed from Portal.

    Apparently, they didn't learn anything from Star Wars and are still trying to get away with the same thing here. Unfortunately, this time Disney has no say since they don't own the BF franchise as they owned SW so there's no one to stop EA since they own BF outright.

    The only thing that will change the game now is to pull back on the money and game time that you give to BF6...ask for refunds and stop playing completely for the entire holiday season. if enough players ban together and do this, they will have no choice but to change it, and change it fast.

    Throwing out the baby with the bathwater approach isn't going to work. Some of us are older players who will never perform as well as seasoned players. Having the portal allows us to play adequately and level up our weapons/gear, although at a slower rate than seasoned players. We're casual players and will most likely reside near the bottom of pvp matches. The portal provided players like us with another option to enjoy the game at our own pace and gradually progress into more competitive matches.

    Removing experience points from the Portal mode is a false advertising practice. Immediately restore the full experience points in the Portal mode as promoted in your advertisements. This is yet another scam reminiscent of 2042. All PvE players are advised to request refunds and leave negative reviews on Steam if possible. BF6 = 2042.

    I will never get a good weapon or attachments now. I'm too casual and don't have the time everyone else has. Playing against bots was why i bought the game. So my old **bleep** could just chill and progress at my own pace. 

    I uninstalled the game, because it is not what i paid for. I feel quite screwed by EA and am not happy about it. I will never buy another thing from EA. They lie every single time.
