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.
There is something seriously wrong with these people. Thank God all they lay their hands on are pointless video games.
Player count is already going down on steam. They messed up big times - again.
You do realize that player count for pretty much every multiplayer naturally goes down after launch? The steam charts are showing absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.
It is. Directly after removing all XP from Portal there is a 25% drop. This is not happening randomly. But nice try for an argument.
