No it was forced upon them brother. They don't want the responsibility thats why they seem to resent it as they do. Because they just want to develop the game. Its the community that has to represent it as a sport. What happened was, its very expensive brother, and if your server is just always lagging out because of some disgruntled player who was banned, its not worth it to spend the money on it. And so if they making a multiplayer game, someone has to host it, and thats when mmr's were introduced shortly after. Which in theory should be even more fair then a community run league. Cause its by computer algorithm. But these things are always undermined because of the anonymity that is allowed. People just constantly create new accounts. Which is always why getting rids of 50k cheaters in a month is meaningless when they just come back next month. Paying even 100s to play again is like a drug addiction to them. So its actually worse now then it was with dedicated servers and no mmr. It was more like playing ball in a real life ball court. Everyone knows each other, you match up accordingly. Like a real life athletic sport. now its just a bunch of trolls that make anonymous accounts and get off on undermining a competitive matchup.
As you said, players griefing a game has always been a thing.
I think what kills PTO is the plethora of solo challenges which have nothing to do with playing the game and everything to do with stupid unlocks.
It's clear that grinding unlocks is much harder now and not for casual players. I suspect they are counting on the casual players buying the unlocks.

eh what I've always loved about bf is I don't have to care about xp or unlocks. Its one of the least p2w games and I usually just use the base guns throughout the franchise history. I don't think most bf players care about that sort of thing man, that is for a more modern audience. I don't pay attention to what the social media influencers say. they make stuff up for clicks and views brother.
