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.
My main issue is that some of the challenges and assignments are very tedious. I've been trying for 2 days to farm 300 suppressions with an LMG. But at any time I peek out from behind cover for long enough to get a suppression I get shot by a sniper with a range finder that basically can't miss. I'm only halfway with the challenge, and I am very tired of being killed by snipers who never even try to play the objective but just go for headshots, even though their score is only halfway up the scoreboard..... At least in bot games I could have done that slightly faster, because bot teams don't consist out of 50% snipers.
Well you can do your challenge on smaller maps not suitable for snipers, and also, these big challenges are not ment to be cleared in one or two days. Just take your time, enjoy the game. If you make it feel more like a job than a game, you’ll start hating it and quit altogether.
