I have 2 boosting outcries, and they are related to EA's actions.
- EA STILL has not revoked approval of those farms. Those farms still get full XP, mastery, unlocks, and are 1-person start. What EA has done is make every other server, which are almost always more legitimate (how could you make anything "worse"?!?) and almost always an actual game that has a purpose, not attractive to anyone; because the newer servers, which took more time and effort to make, and are usually not farms, have no XP or are much harder to 'start' (populate due to min player requirements). EA has done the exact opposite of promoting the experiences it pretends to promote.
- Because EA has effectively encouraged people to use portal for no reason other than boosting, it also ends up making portal's performance suck. Why? Because those boosting servers are terrible for network load. They waste an entire server of 64 slots on only one actual human player. Since each human has their own server with no other humans in it, every human who boosts will waste a TON of resources. If you made legitimate experiences more attractive, maybe people would get almost as much XP or whatever they are after in legitimate experiences that have at least one other human in them. They might sacrifice a little boosting for a game that is actually enjoyable to play. But since item #1 makes that impossible, item #2 is a major problem for every other community server.

I didn't think about the server side. I see how that would be an issue. But I think there is a better solution than what they have come up with. So they can keep the promise they made while also limiting the farming lobbies.
