I keep seeing the reason for the Portal xp being removed is too many bot farming servers.
Why is it bad to farm bots for attachments, I don't understand.
People are getting unlocks faster? So. Why does anyone care.
People have higher K/D's on their profile? So. Why does anyone care? Stop bots from counting as kills, easy fix.
There is obviously a reason people are bot farming, and THAT seems to be the issue: Insanely long grind to unlock attachments for each weapon, which is how you build guns for competitive play.
Remove the need for bot farming, and you significantly reduce the server issue.
Just removing the bot farms will significantly reduce your player base.
For some of us who have disabilities like Charcot Marie Tooth Syndrome (CMT) That effects your nerves, your sensory and motor skills the Portals were awesome to play in. You take 5 steps on a real server and you get shot by a sniper or get into a situation where you can't think fast enough or have the reflexes to act on it, especially since there are hacks still in BF6 Arctic cheats claims to be undiscoverable. The Portal Exp was one of the man reasons i decided to try Battlefield, it's the first in the series i tried. But I prob won't play it as much now, ever since i noticed the changes and read about it i got on another game i could enjoy more. Bit of false advertising if you ask me and we should start asking for refunds based on that fact...
Complain to Government Protection Agencies: In the U.S., you can file a complaint with the FTC
In the EU, you can contact your local consumer protection authority.
Request Refunds: Some platforms (like Steam or the PlayStation Store) may offer refunds if a game’s core features are removed or significantly altered.
.No Man's Sky: Initially criticized for missing features, but the developers later added them back, avoiding legal action.Star Wars Battlefront II: Faced backlash and regulatory scrutiny over loot boxes, leading to changes in the game and industry-wide shifts.
DICE (the developer) and EA (the publisher) have historically made statements about features, rewards, and gameplay mechanics in their games, including Battlefield titles. If they explicitly promised full XP for using official rules and modes in Battlefield Portal—for example, in official blog posts, trailers, or marketing materials—then players could argue that this was a commitment to consumers.

They did this exact same switch with BF2042, so I can't say I am surprised. I am just shocked that they started the game out with full xp on portal with backfill bots. I was so glad they did that and thought that it was intentional to do it this way. I hate that this is the second straight BF game they advertised one way for portal and xp gains, only to pull the rug out from under the people who genuinely enjoy playing the game against bots either for enjoyment or for accessibility reasons.
