What should be illegal is EA's bait and switch. I bought this game (along with many of us casual players) because of the fact that they advertised full XP and weapon progression in Portal. They said you can play your way and still have progression. This was a huge selling point for me as I am also a casual player who enjoys the laid back / stress relieving and FUN way to play against bots. I was having a ton of fun on the Solo / Co-op mode against bots with my buddy on 2042. Why they couldn't make this an option on BF6 baffles me.
We as consumers, who bought this game for the advertised fact that we could play the way we wanted, were simply lied to. I didn't care for bot farming, I just wanted to squad up with my buddy and have a good time playing against bots, but thanks to EA's lack of oversight, some people (as they always do) find a way to exploit portal. Unfortunately the casual player paid the price for EA dropping the ball.
I'm not sure why people are trying to bargain for reduced XP and slower progression against bots either. This was advertised to be included. How hard can it be to figure out? Don't allow portal editors to have bots with less health or have them be unarmed. Problem solved. That eliminates the farmers.
Games should be fun for EVERYONE. But again, like so many gaming companies, their main focus is on PvP. The casual gamer was duped into paying for a game with their hard earned money, for features that were advertised then swiftly removed from the game after purchase.
This is False Advertisement, shady business practice, and simply wrong.

It is illegal, in most countries. It just takes a complaint to your local Consumer Affairs/Better Business Bureau, etc.
