Request for improvements to Portal mode.

There are heaps of options to prevent farming servers and still allow solo PvE game play.
- Solo mode like 2042
- Cap the maximum XP in a round to prevent farming
- Alter the XP rate for all Portal servers
- Alter the XP rate for servers with 1 player
- Allow 1 player to start the game, but no XP unless other players join
Unfortunately, EA/Dice doesn't care about players like us.
There are many possible solutions to this problem, although the simplest would be to add a game mode like Battlefield 2042 (solo/coop) – with the same rules, or even limitations, as its Portal mode.
There's no point in trying to force things, looking for solutions when they're readily available. However, it's noticeable that the developers themselves have also changed their design mentality. Instead of drawing inspiration and building on elements and systems from previous successful Battlefield installments, they're acting as if they were reinventing a new technology that has existed and worked well for decades.
And here arises a question that I would like to ask directly to the team that is designing this game: is it due to lack of knowledge about previous games in the series, lack of real/practical experience or technical skills to do it?
If the production is costing more than before, and not one but four studios are involved in it, and the final effect is deplorable - then something is probably not right here.
