There has to be a better way to stop bot farming than what it being done now. Having a minimum human player count is definitely not the answer, neither is eliminating any sort of progression while playing against bots. At the very least, make it similar to how progression is in the Battlefield 2042 portal.
This. 100% this. I don’t understand how EA took everything that worked in Battlefield 2042, which released years ago and was both enjoyable and successful, and offered what we are getting in Battlefield 6. Changing the terms of the game after we already bought it just does not sit well. I hope EA realizes this, makes the right calls and does right by its customers!
They have turned off a big part of their fan base by doing this. People are already abandoning the game.
I know I certainly did (left to play something else where the devs encourage PvE instead of punishing for it).
Just don't see the player base being big enough to fill all the portal servers with this minimum human requirement, REDSEC spreading it out more, this arbitrary number leaves out probably of majority of people that would likely play portal with friends. It's just hard to believe that they didn't have a solution waiting in the wings, with all that they knew happened with 2042. The funny thing there seems to be more bot farming now in post patch, they basically threw out the player base that wanted to play Portal legitimately, but didn't fix the problem.

I left a comment on the post above expressing my opinion on the recent portal changes. Particularly around Solo PVE (genuine enjoyment - no xp farms etc), and regarding the challenge of obtaining trophies/achievements for the casual gamer.
Seems like a lot of us share the same opinion on the PVE front, so hopefully EA/DICE acknowledge this portion of players.
This game has turned into an absolute clown-show! Everything sucks now! Anti-cheat is a JOKE! Takes 8 people to start a bot backfill server in Portal or 20 players for no bot server... Are you ducking kidding me!? Hit reg is worse! No control over anything, and duck your aim assist! Aim assist is **bleep**! This is Call of Duty!!! Goodbye forever! Battlefield is totally ducking DEAD!
"they basically threw out the player base that wanted to play Portal legitimately, but didn't fix the problem."
Absolutely nailed it right there! Bullseye!
Yes sir and I'm one of them. I will NEVER buy another BF game, period!
