Ranked Mode and Persistent Servers are mandatory for BF6

if DICE adds a proper Ranked Mode to the classic multiplayer (instead of limiting it just to REDSEC), it would be a massive win for the game. Here is why this is crucial for BF6:
Long-term Motivation (The Grind): Right now, progression completely dies once you unlock all the weapons. Grinding through ranks would keep people hooked for months and seasons to come.
No More Lobby Chaos: Casual modes always mix pro-level stacks with absolute beginners. A separate ranked system would finally offer balanced matches against players of equal skill (proper SBMM).
True Squad Teamwork: Winning is everything in ranked. This will actually force players to use mics, cooperate, and play their class roles (heals, ammo, repairs) instead of just farming K/D.
Perfect Fit for Tactical Modes: A ranked system would breathe new life into tighter, competitive formats like Rush, Domination, or infantry-only modes.
In my opinion, this would prevent the game from getting stale and give the competitive community a dedicated place to sweat.

if DICE wants Battlefield 6 to succeed, bringing back the Server Browser and Persistent Servers is non-negotiable. Here is why these features are mandatory for the game:

Community Building: Persistent servers allow players to return to the same community every day, make friends, and build regular squads. Live admins can also instantly ban hackers, keeping the matches clean.

Freedom of Choice: A server browser eliminates the matchmaking lottery. Players can choose their preferred map, game mode, ticket count, and exact ping instead of being forced into maps they hate.

Game Longevity: Custom servers keep Battlefield games alive for decades after official support ends. This is exactly why Battlefield 3,4,1,V still have active player bases today.

Custom Rulesets: Server owners can tailor the experience by creating infantry-only rotations, banning annoying weapons, or tweaking vehicle spawn timers to keep the gameplay fresh.

Because of these missing features, you lost such a huge percentage of players in less than a year, and you continue to ignore what your players actually want. There are also still bugs that need fixing, which I hope you will resolve over time.
