It’s honestly ironic that some players join multiplayer to play against bots. The whole point of multiplayer is to compete against real people, to measure your skill against others who are trying just as hard. I’ve never understood the logic that if something is difficult, it should be cheated. Difficulty is what gives progression meaning.
Older Battlefield players will remember that farming used to be bannable. In Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 3, players who farmed kills or stats were punished because it went against the entire spirit of fair play. Stats are meant to represent your actual skill and experience.
Bots have no place in multiplayer environments.
As I recall, Battlefield 3 and 4 allowed you to buy shortcut kits, which opened up full access to weapons, gadgets, and weapons. Whether you buy these kits or play with friends on 'bot' servers, you're still leveling the playing field, gear wise.
Agreed, it should be skill vs skill, gear should be the same(or easy to attain)
If people want progression, make it titles and cosmetics, something that doesn't affect "power" in a match.
