I said it before but it didn’t get much visibility so I’ll say it here; I don’t understand why they totally stripped challenge progress from bots, let alone got rid of them. I am assuming the bots will return to portal at some point, hopefully with a reworked progression system as I don’t think it’s fair for PvE to invalidate all challenge progress.
I will not advocate for 1:1 progress as bots are just factually easier, I don’t think that it’s a huge deal that progress was faster with but I won’t argue with those that do, I just want some progress. Make bots count towards challenges less than players, make it so that 10-20 bot kills count as 1 player kill or something. But there are so many reasons to want PvE, and that should not be invalidated as an experience.
