I'm going to have to selfishly disagree. I play with bots quite a lot for a few different reasons, and don't think I should be penalised for doing so.

Why not just let people play how they want to play? If you want to progress in multiplayer matches against players only, go hard. But some people just want to chill and use cool **bleep**. I don't want to stress about getting 200 headshot kills with snipers against other players. I suck with them and don't really enjoy using them. But I do want to unlock everything. I like the fact I can just jump in and far bots for a while.

I really dont care how people progress in the game they can do what they want. People who progress with bots only ruin it for themselves if they go overboard with it.What bothers me is that I want to host proper Portal servers with locked weapons (because there's only one option in main game mode options) for all modes, but I cant spin up servers because its exceeded, unless i sit clicking host for an hour.I think they should just add a solo/coop option (like in 2042) with full prog, and hopefully it eases up the server space for those that want to host proper servers.

I agree with you Lambda9595, bots in my opinion should be fully removed.

Games with bots should not give progression

The issues you mentioned can be solved simply by having two separate progression systems and not merging bot kill data with multiplayer kill data. However, what I want to discuss is the game’s unlock system—especially the painfully slow progress for weapon attachments and class missions. It’s even more difficult than in previous Battlefield titles. Do you really like missions that require getting 150 headshots on players from over 200 meters away? Do you really like needing to kill more than 3,000 players to unlock all attachments for a single weapon? And this isn’t even the progress for bot modes; in bot modes, you’d need to kill 10,000 AI opponents! Is this even reasonable？

You spent your money on a multiplayer game with a single player campaign.

They totaly screw up and skew any and all stats/rankings. I would allow them to work only for getting the weapons up to like rank 10 or smthing and thats it. People wanting achivments like 50kills in one life..maybe you dont deserve the skin and its resrved for the dedicated few? They are called achivments not collectables. I understand that you want to play bots.. but that shouldnt count towards your account..leaderboards are just flooded with botfarmers..with absurd stats

"You spent your money on a multiplayer game with a single player campaign."
What is that argument? It's completely pointless (especially the leaderboard part of other messages here). You can choose to create a verified pve experience, and people choose to do so. They also spend money on that, on the portal aspect of the game, and yet you want to take that part away because you don't like it.
It's a Sandbox game, it is not a competitive game where you get anything for being the best or where you have a rank or something. You have a level and some stats on your profile, but no one cares about that. You can have 0.5 KD and still be a good player if you have like a 100+ revives per match. Stats don't matter in this game. Just because you care about them doesn't mean everyone has to. It's a sandbox game with a lot of ways to play it, especially with portal.
