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.
