Portal in Battlefield 2042 was completely unusable due to the number of exp grind/bot farm/achievement servers. It had the same global server quota hosting issue, because everyone was just starting a server for a solo experience. You couldn't even find normal games anymore.
They've invested heavily in portal, so I don't blame them for making sure it remains accessible for the people that actually want to play against others.
Because Coop Mode exist in 2042. No need for hosting a server. You had full weapon progression until mastery 12 and had all weapon/vehicle unlocks/attachments.
It worked on Launch and worked in the road to BF6 Portal AFK XP Farm time. Nobody cared about that and now pple are complaining that this is unfair or what?
Nobody is forcing these people to do it exactly the same way. But they want to force people to do it the way they do.
This is just stupid and toxic behavior.
If they make sure portal works and is useable, I really don't care what players do in their own time.
