Portal bug??

Congratulations, you discovered EAs nerf of portal EXP. Despite it being advertised as verified modes being full EXP, they decided today that they didnt like that and removed it.

Yuppers, they wanna repeat the 2042 fiasco. They don't want too many people playing it because they refuse to upgrade servers.  So instead they'll just **bleep** off more than half the community so they'll quit playing.  So if you enjoy solo, coop, or harder game modes, too bad so sad, uninstall.   Lol EA peak decision making. XP FARMS EXPLOITING XP BAD.. SO PLAYERS USING OUR VERIFIED AND PUBLISHED SERVERS THAT WE PROMISED FULL PROGRESSION, BAD TOO!!    Too easy to shut down non verified servers for now until a solution is decided on, let's just make all experiences 0 progress,we're sure almost every one that enjoys portal experiences will be totally fine playing our tiny selection of maps with stock weapons, attachments,  etc.....

Yep, just noticed the same thing. 
I'm a moderately skilled part-time player, and playing against high skilled full-time players with all their weapon/attachment unlocks puts them at a higher advantage still.  Matchmaking always puts some of them in my pvp games, so I end up getting farmed like I need to farm bots to get my unlocks to start playing around with gun builds - a big part of the fun.

Let us "farm" because we need to, in particular that insane grind for weapon attachments.  I don't know why attachment unlocks even exist, but that grind is the opposite of fun.  
Don't let bots count towards our k/d, that's not why we are doing it, and I personally don't want anyone thinking I'm good.  

Oh wow.. ok.. well I'll see if Steam can give me a refund. Im not much of a PVP person, so portal xp was definitely my preferred method to play. It would have been better of they just lowered the xp instead of getting rid of it. All good. This is more my fault.. I usually never buy a game at launch.. 😆 thanks for the info guys.
