Please remove 20 player requirement for no bot servers from Portal

We waited 4 hours and couldn't get 32 players. Please let us start with 1 player. 

Totally agree.  It's another clan killer and is actually adding to the bot farm issue as its almost impossible for a community portal to operate without bots.

Normally Community Portals / servers are seeded by a few players and naturally populate over the course of a few rounds.  These ridiculously high lobby thresholds are making it impossible to host a portal without inadvertently turning it into a bot farm!

DICE pls unlock like ppl say,1 player to start and make life easy!

bump. this needs addressing. want full xp and for my server to start. needing 32 "friends" to invite and maintain is ridiculous.

Thank you for listening to the people EA/Dice. Thx for lifting the 32-player limit. Even my ping has improved from 100 to 25! I've currently changed my Steam comment from negative to positive because things are being fixed. :)

Bumping this again. We want to play without bots on my portal server but 20 player requirement now is too steep. Please lower it back to 1 player for no bot backfill experience. Or at least 8 but not 20. It is strange that with bots, you need 8 players but if you want pure pvp server you need 20 players. Thank you! 

I know that 8 player requirement for bot servers was to combat xp farms but making pvp servers 20 player requirement makes no sense then. 

Ya I have been b|tchin about this for over a month! THIS IS BS!!!! You can't even have clan with the way DICE has setup these servers! Look like they may have a lot of woke DEVS IMHO or they have devs that have never played Battlefield in the past!

Yesterday I set up a Close Quarters Only Server. No VEHICLES IN THESE SMALL MAPS! only to find out you have to have 20 people to start a game. The DEVS IMHO should get a brain transplant for setting up servers that need 20 player to start a game. You only need 2 players start a game. With or without bots! PERIOD! 

We used to have this until they activity removed it through a "Portal updating requiring re-publishing of experiences", to ensure all 1 player requirement experiences were removed.

Time it came back !!!!!!!
