I do not know why none of the esteemed staff made a topic about this yet here but I will share the Steam post

post #25 on the above thread.
I will now quote the text of the steam post by EA_Shepard:
Hey, there
We appreciate the replies and feedback on this. So, I put together a list of what we’re hearing:
Many of you want full progression in solo/co-op and on curated custom servers—not just in matchmade PvP.
There’s real frustration about expectations vs. what shipped; our messaging around progression eligibility wasn’t clear.
Some of you worry about stat/leaderboard integrity and bot-farm exploits.
Players with limited time prefer low-stress PvE and still want meaningful unlocks.
Progression in PvE & curated servers (test): We’re enabling account XP and unlock/unlock-track progression in solo/co-op and a curated list of community servers.
To protect stats: K/D, leaderboards, and certain mastery tallies won’t update in these spaces during the test. If the data looks good (low exploit/noise), we’ll expand eligibility.
Anti-farm guardrails: Minimum difficulty, activity checks (AFK/loop detection), mixed target requirements, and sensible XP-per-minute caps. Servers that trip exploit signals will lose “Progression Eligible” status until fixed.
Clear labeling: Modes/servers will be tagged Progression Eligible or Not Eligible in the browser and pre-match screen, with a short tooltip explaining why.
What we need from you - The Data 📊
If you hit a legitimate mode that should be eligible but isn’t, drop the server code/name, platform, and time here. Feel free to tag me, and I will compile all that data and send it up.
If you spot obvious farm servers, flag them—include the code and what you saw.
Keep the feedback coming on where progression matters most to you. You play it, you progress, you have fun. Make your voice heard.
Cheers.
This looks interesting but I am expecting to see it in practice before I will decide if this is good enough or not.
So they reverted the portal lobbies and we can make progress again and unlocks as of today? Without getting kd stats etc? If so im happy af and ready to rumble tonight.
Not all portal lobbies are gving full xp etc unless they are using verified ruelset i.e NO BOTS.
It would be nice to have Conquest,Rush and Breakthrough be recognized by E.A. and DICE at the minimum in a hardcore format hosted on official servers in the official multiplayer menu.
I don't think they have release the update yet? I think so?
no still no weapon mastery etc only main xp if u have bots backfilling

We're repeating 2042 all over again. "Sensible XP-per minute caps"? That's exactly what 2042 had and it was awful, as once the server filled with humans we were still affected by XP Caps. You could only earn so much XP in a hybrid Portal match mixed with humans and AI.
They keep trying to solve the issue by making it as complicated as possible as they did in 2042. Shepard stated they're removing Bot kill stats etc from player kill stats, that's the right thing to do but not denying XP and putting caps in place. The whole point of verified modes is that there's NO XP CAP.
At the end of the day, who are they punishing? It feels like they're punishing everyone instead of the abusers or you know just using this as an excuse for not having enough server capacity for everyone because even after the change, there's still not enough capacity.
Verified Modes must give FULL XP. End of story.
So they did mention about Mastery Tally? What's this mean tho? If not count so weapon & vehicle mastery still able to reach mastery 50 or not? that's what i'm wondering. Also only kill around 300 bots per match so i don't think the XP per min effect me much, but i care about that if they implement xp limit per day or something that more worst. But yeah Full XP sound good too for me as the K/D stats wont count anymore and it's not gonna hurt those try hard ppl.
Currently, i'm happy if they allow challenge / assignment & mastery allowed with bot to 50 is fine.
Some of the challenges/assignments should not be doable vs bots.
There are already some which cant be done without other players.
I just played a verified map with no modifications & bots only like I usually do & gun mastery xp still not working.
Yeah it may take some time to happed world wide I guess. I thk any experience that is tag Modified XP wont do mastery etc. Need experince that state full XP i think
Verified portal modes must be full xp with AI back fill
Sounds promising but if can find a way to lock some challenges from working vs bots then even better.
nothing has happened, still restricted xp on verified servers with ai backfill
You have to handover the experience code to a DiCE employee which will look into it and approve the xp, if he get known and picks up on it. Sounds good right? 😆
What ever happens in the end I just hope it gets rid of all the BOT/XP farm servers in the browser. I'm sick of scrolling for an hour just to find a decent hardcore game!!
Just do the following:
1. No official mod, scripts, bots, many changes in the standard rules: Restricted Xp, no mastery, etc. etc.
2. Official mod, additional scripts, bots, many changes in standard rules: Restricted xp, no mastery, etc. etc.
3. Official mods, no additional scripts, bot, a few changes in the standard rules: normal xp, 25-50% botkill xp for mastery etc etc.
4. Official mods, no scripts, no changes, bots: normal xp, in case of moren then 50% bot count, 25-50% botkill xp.
Finished.
Whiches changes should directly lead to restricted xp:
1. No guns
2. Higher player life
3. lower bot life
4. bots not moving
etc. etc. stuff like that
Changes which should doenst effect xp
Problems solved, also I am glad that you are not put unrealstic skins into season one (ironie off)
That would be the expected solution from a company with knowledge. If I don't alter any settings in a verified game mode, I should get the chance to progress. If I alter settings to my benefit (more life / scripts) it shouldn't give me progression.
They are unable to modify the portal settings to divide or detect it, that is alarming.
What a s***tshow. I need to verify and beg for exclusion for a verified gamemode without any scripts added to it? EA/Dice is doing a very very poor job. They lost me on this.
