I think the Karen comment is justified. A bunch of Karen's that are more concerned with how much XP someone else has, even though it has no bearing on their own account.
Too many people complained, and now instead of addressing the real problem, which is server capacity, Dice is choosing to take action on an aspect of the game that can only be atributed to making the Karens stop complaining. And the problem is that dice are still not addressing the problem. Even if all of the XP servers disappear, the problem will still exist. There isn't enough server capacity.
Saying that I am a casual gamer does not mean that I am not in multiple gaming communities. I'm in several, and all of them are having trouble with their "experience" servers. They are online, but nobody can join them. And all of them wish that Dice will open up server renting. But Dice doesn't want to for who knows what reason. That's the problem. So people look at the list and see all of these XP servers with 1 or 2 people in them that they can actually join. But... they can't join their own. They want to join their own... But they can't. That's why people are yelling so loudly. It has nothing to do with the XP servers themselves. The problem would completely disappear if Dice would just get rid of their so called quota and allow people to join their existing servers.
I mean, think about their own "Recommended Servers" list... Half of them are empty, and you can't even join those servers that are being suggested to you to join. The browser is completely broken. Dice needs to fix their browser and their server limitations and the problem will disappear.
Let the XP whales keep inflating their XP until they have all of the unlocks and nothing to play for anymore. It doesn't affect my gameplay at all because I don't play against them anyway. I play with a bunch of casual gamers that just want to get online, add me to their friends list, laugh when a bot shoots down our chopper, have fun, and cheer when the rank up icon appears on our screens.
They aren't addressing the problem. And once they "fix" the xp server problem, the Karens will shift focus to the server capacity problem, which is the whole problem to begin with.
And once it's all settled. People will still complain. And I'll probably be gone. I'm an old man. I can't compete in the normal servers so I rely on the bots and a few other not so skilled players for my entertainment. But.... They allowed bots in Portal in 2042, and nobody complained. They allowed people to play only bots, in single player servers for unlocks and xp in 2042, and nobody complained.
I think pulling all the tryhards out of call of duty pulled an extremely toxic community to the game. And Dice shouldn't be catering to their wishes.
I think it's a fantastic decision on DICEs part. Bot farming shouldn't be a thing and it totally ruins the sense of accomplishment. There's no point whatsoever in having a progression system if you can do it on easy mode in a couple of days.
A system like that would result in the same people crying about that it's to hard, start moaning about that there's nothing to do in the game.
I'm not trying to be rude but if multiplayer isn't your thing there's multiple better options. If you want a chill experience and unlock stuff. Battlefield is a multiplayer game and always has been.
People are going for bots because there are weekly/daily/seasonal chores + because the guns have a massive grind behind them.
In your logic I would ask why do we have to have single player / MMORPG game level grinds for gameplay affecting unlocks in the multiplayer of a first person shooter
Both questions are totally reasonable.
The answer: because that is what the players wants.
You're ignorant about the matter as your post clearly indicates.
Firstly, do you really understand what MP even means? Apparently not, because MP does not automatically mean that a game is competitive in nature. There are lots of MP games which are either PvE or not inherently competitive.
Secondly, PvE has been in the franchise from the very beginning including BF1942, BF2, BF2142, BF2042, BF6 (until they removed it 2 weeks after release) so to say that the franchise has, always and only, been a competitive game indicates to me that you have no idea what you're saying.
Thirdly, nobody with any sense of rhyme or reason is asking for bot farms to be allowed. The fact is, that the removal of PvE has nothing to do with bot farming to begin with...we know this due to the fact that even Dice's verified game mode servers had PvE completely removed. Being Verified means that there was no cheating involved on those servers (i.e., no bot farms).
...and this is all we want...for the Verified Game modes in Portal, where the modes cannot be edited in such a way to take advantage, can once again have the legit use of bots restored as it was when the game first released, and as it is in a similar fashion to BF2042.
You seem to be a bit **bleep** or just talking about things you dont have a clue of, none of us wants Bot Farm, and BF has a History back to BF 1942 where we could have a LAN Party playing against Bots, but anyway, every Gamer should be entiteled to play the Game he wants to play the Game if he Payed 70€ for it and was promised full progression in every Mode. Do you realy think its easy progression in a couple of days ? Well, some of us are working 40 hours a week and we just want to have a couple of houres of fun at the weekend playing with friends or Bots, we dont have the time for the grind and I cant believe that players like you are threatened in any way from players like us. I could also mention BF3, BF4, BF1 with Server Browsers and BF5 with a kind of Server Rotation and Solo/COOP Modes, so if you dont want to get rude, dont post before thinking.
Again, what ruins the sense of accomplishent ? ???`" think it's a fantastic decision on DICE" , and whats about Stats of the Leaderbord like No.1 Raven_OntheDark 11396:1
No one realy cares about that crap, exept you ? Well I dont.
