No Bots 🤖 in portal verified games?????

I agree man! I'm going to repost this from my other post so it's loud and clear:

I actually really liked playing Battlefield with bots. It was genuinely fun and surprisingly immersive. Every AI soldier was doing their thing—capturing points, reviving teammates, holding objectives—it all felt like the game finally clicked into what Battlefield was supposed to be.

Playing that way meant I didn’t have to deal with cheaters, campers, or the general toxicity that pops up in multiplayer. And I don't have to deal with "getting my skills up" by spending hours to master the game mechanics and steady aiming with controllers. Trust me, I have game for 30+ years, I'm more of a veteran gamer than most eSports FPS level players. However, I am a dad now, busy life and I don't have time to play like these hardcore 1-shot, 1-snipe, quick hand players. I just want to come home and enjoy a casual game that's still cinematic and exciting. I usually play solo since I don’t have a regular squad, and the bots made that experience enjoyable. It's enjoyable because they play by the rule and are also challenging. Don't get me wrong, they're not easy to kill, but they bring a level of challenge that is manageable. They gave the maps life and chaos without the stress of sweating against people who grind the game 12 hours a day.

After the recent update though, it feels like they ripped that away. No bots, no casual chaos—just lobbies full of players where I barely get a shot off before I’m down. It’s frustrating dumping half a mag into someone who doesn’t drop, then getting two-tapped instantly. I have videos to prove this. I dump entire mags into a human player and they don't die. I shot an AI bot 3-4 taps (not counting headshots) and they're down. And when I do go down playing with human players, I’ve got six teammates right there who is just crouching around instead of reviving.

Man..that’s why I miss the bots. They made the game feel balanced, fair, and still intense without being exhausting. Battlefield 6 actually felt like Battlefield again when I first played it earlier this month. Now, I felt like I just wasted my money on a game that isn't event playable anymore after the campaign. Very disappointed in this change.

Just because you’re 40 years old, does that justify farming bots to level up your weapon? I’m 35 myself, also a busy person, and I don’t have time to play all day or all night, but I have no problem with that. Nothing in life comes easy, and you know that well. It’s not fair to farm bots just to unlock weapons. I already have a level 53 weapon and two others at level 40, and I haven’t even touched the Portal servers with bots.

Busy playing this game. When you have a full time job, family, sports events, and are needed elsewhere all the time you'll understand what busy is. And he's not justifying that. Punish the ones that do farm, not the ones that use it for its intended use. 

I work 9 hours a day, 6 days a week. I think I made it clear enough that it’s not just about sitting in a bot server and farming. This is the right decision from EA, and I support them 100%. I also have a family and all sorts of other commitments  I’m not going to keep explaining myself.

I get the feeling that you just want to have everything handed to you without even putting in a little effort

SOBT, I think you are missing a couple of points and information. Firts point: Since the very beginning of this franchise, playing against bots was a normal way to enjoy the game. Therefore, Point two: playing against bots dont mean that you are automaticly farming bots for enourmus XP points and levels. It's about enjoying the gameplay on offer, and leveling up in a normal way, just as advertised by the way.  BF2042 had a solo/co-op mode that worked. 

Not everybody has superfast reflexes

And, from a commercial standpoint would it not be wise to not adress this issue with people who what to play with/against bots (again, as advertised) . Because I think a lot of potential buyers/players are going to stay away, move away from the game. Not buying the game, not buying season passes or whatever EA had planned for the future.

In other words: EA, use common sense knowledge and fix this. My two cents on that: Happy players are returning costumers
