We pay the Money!

I have been playing BF for 23 years. I have paid the money over the years. My small network of friends have paid the money.  

We buy the full-featured games, and if the game is good, as BF has typically been--we stay involved. 

But for my group, we love having a dedicated server that provides all the XP and Attachments. So the  dedicated server is great, but the fact that having a small group and not being able to get attachment XP on a round is pretty disappointing. We are almost required to have bots backfill because of the 3 to 4-person group. 

Will there be an option to earn XP for attachments in the future on servers with backfills?

I understand the cheating issue, but I don't understand why turning off XP for attachment rewards is necessary. 

If your purchasers want goodies ranked alongside their progression, how is that similar to a cheater?

Do you claim that playing the game in a bot backfill is cheating? 

If you pay money for the game, why would you prevent parts of the game to your paying customers?

In fact, the BETA had this feature, and after purchase you turn it off, sadly as a dedicated BFer, it saddens me that the position is we built a great product, but you now must play the way we want you to play and not the way the customer wants to play.
