Lack of persistent servers is killing smaller regions

Good evening everyone! 

I just wanted to talk about how the lack of persistent servers is ruining the gameplay experience for a lot of people. 

For example: My friends are from South Africa and we seldomly find a full match, and when we do, once that match is done everyone is dispersed across the cosmos, you have to search 2 or 3 times to find where the majority of players got put into. Once you find the match the chances are that you'll be put on the same 3 maps you played the entire evening.

DICE this is a waste of time. As a working adult I don't have time to spend 10 minutes looking for a populated match only to play on the same map over and over again. It makes for a terrible gaming experience, I don't know why there is so much resistance to having persistent official servers for each region. The quick play COD style browser may make sense for highly populated regions but it makes no sense for a lot of the less populated regions in the world.

At the very least we need to have an option allowing us to choose the region we want to search in the custom search function. Sometimes it's better playing EU servers with 200ms+ ping than playing bots the entire evening.

Insisting on this direction for matchmaking will continue to be one of the sore points of this game regardless of how good the content and base gameplay is.
