Matchmaking servers are filled with bots. Persistent servers are needed!

I'm playing in a fairly populated region, yet its a gamble every time I queue whether I'll get a full game. Usually it's 8 players and the rest bots. And on the occasion that it fills up by the end, the game finishes and it's back to square one. This is incredibly frustrating. And I'm certain anyone else having this issue isn't playing as much as they'd like to currently. 

Can we get some word from dice that we are not going crazy? That there's an issue here?

Even if it's a player count issue, I feel the solution is simple...

Persistent servers in Battlefield 6 would fix most of the matchmaking headaches players are dealing with right now. The constant server disbanding is pushing people into half-empty lobbies with bots, forcing everyone to back out and re queue several times just to find one proper match. It’s wearing people down, and many of us have already moved to other games while waiting for a fix.

If servers simply stayed together with a normal map rotation, players who join late could finish the round and then enjoy full matches back-to-back. No bot fill needed. If a lobby becomes imbalanced, just shuffle the top squads. Easy. This also makes joining late way more bearable and prevents people playing the same map multiple times in a row. 

Plenty of players in regions outside the US and EU (though I've heard complaints from there too) are struggling to get full servers at all, and it’s hurting the player base. Keeping lobbies persistent would solve most of this and stop the frustration that’s pushing people away.

Please dice, consider persistent servers, even a trial. Just test it properly (e.g. update the ui to inform people that it's a persistent servers and that they don't need to leave at the end of the game - use a pop-up when they quit). This game needs full servers to be enjoyed.
