Can we get a compromise on the Bot XP issue?
XP farm Servers are currently a problem in portal that is undeniable but reducing the XP from killing bots didn't solve the issue and made it even somewhat worse. These servers are getting out of han...

I agree with you on the above. Just spent the last 2 days spamming host for 3 hrs to try and host my own created experience to chill with some friends (Standard EA Vanilla modes with a few bots, no scripts or other shenanigans ) - 'Global Game Quota Exceeded' or aka we raked in a few hundred million $ and we're too tight to turn on some more servers 🤬.
Unfortunately i don't have the time or inclination to go through this process daily in the vain hope of playing. I'm not willing to play normal multiplayer vs lvl 70+ sweaty no lifers. I've just looked and there are at least ten servers hosting the same experience with one idiot on each server playing by themselves and with themselves 😜 and loads of servers sitting there with no players??
Something has to give as the situation has not gotten any better over the last fews days. You are not telling me they had no contingency for launch with some spare servers waiting in the wings to fire up if it started hitting the fan with ques, etc. This just boils down to pure greed and penny pinching and i'm fuming. A few more days and no change i'm off to spend my time on something else that actually works. PS. Don't count on me coming back for BS7, you caught me on 2042 and now this - not again sorry ....
Agreed, the current situation isn't enjoyable at all. Maybe they should disable progression on custom servers entirely and make the guidelines/rules to verified experiences/servers harder so that you can't mess with the settings that much.
That should flush out most of the bot servers since they have some heavy settings or scripts or what ever, which makes the farming more efficient. Maybe, bot servers should only be allowed with the official settings like a regular multiplayer match (with the only difference being the bots instead of players).
I also get that it's highly unlikely that they didn't consider the fact that their player base would increase with the launch, and that they should have adapted to that. I just hope that they change something about this entire situation because it can't stay like that.
