Unfortunately, I have to disappoint you. The post from EA_Shepard was made before the complete and final removal of progression from matches with bots and before bots were removed from official modes. It’s not a response to this thread or any other.
While ea_sheoard appears to be active on the forums and replies to other topics, both he and other EA/DICE representatives are completely ignoring this issue. You have to understand that EA/DICE has no intention at this point of bringing back bots or progression — certainly not under pressure from a few hundred players.
Right now, there are nearly 300,000 players playing BF6 on Steam alone. A small group of dissatisfied players like us is just a tiny fraction of that number. The only thing that could possibly make EA/DICE reconsider bringing back bots and progression would be a drastic drop in player count, which is not happening at the moment.
They might also consider changes if the group of unhappy players was truly large — in the tens of thousands — but not just a few hundred.
A few days ago, I created a petition to EA/DICE asking them to restore bots and progression, but unfortunately, it got no attention. Only a handful of people signed it, and no one shared it. Yet a petition is one of the few ways to reach the developers — it’s worked in the past.
Sadly, just complaining in this thread won’t change anything.
It's not just a "small group" or "tiny fraction" of the players. This is the largest thread on the Battlefield 6 forum here. It's also mentioned frequently on Twitter, and is the only thing that people talk about in the Portal channel on the official Battlefield discord server.
