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.
I think there's a major difference in bot farms and playing against bots. I can see an issue with proper bot farms, like no weapons and they just stand there or run at you. And definitely ban every AFK server. But they took the nuclear option towards bots and killed a MAJOR draw of the game for a lot of people. Idk anybody that plays solo/bots who would mind if bot kills didn't count towards stats. Like yeah I can drop a bot at 600 yards, we all know its not the same as being against a real person. No worries. But to not allow the game to be playable unless you're so sweaty you need to shower, is just moronic.
