You've just completely screwed over a large portion of the player base just now by turning off weapon and attachment XP in portal servers.
I don't have time to play this game all day every day. I will never be able to be on par with other players without being able to unlock attachments and weapons faster. It takes incredibly long in a normal match for casual folks like me to unlock stuff.
I am a legitimate player who plays breakthrough and conquest matches against bots. I am too old and this game is sometimes too fast for me. I just want to relax after work and kill some bots with my friends, or by myself.
Now, i can't. I'm out until this is changed. This was the last straw for me. EA just completely screwed a lot of us over.
Quit playing around and have dual characters. PvE and PvP. If a map has bots, it is a PvE server and that character cannot play on PvP servers.
Or, go back to your roots and provide local servers that we can run and play on with our friends against bots. Any leveling on them cannot be used online.
Been this way before, not a real stretch to do it again.
And for the douche canoe **bleep** that say, it is multiplayer for with other people, you don't need bots, blah, blah, throw up on your shoes. Battlefield 1942, the very first Battlefield, was built with bots for play with your friends if you wanted. Battlefield has always had them so it is part of the multiplayer experience. And it had stand alone server support!
