Why remove Initiation servers?
I disagree with the action, but I understand the excuse for shutting down the XP farms. It's bogus, but I understand it.
But why also remove the Initiation servers?
They were limited to rank 15 and they also had two squads of human players, so there was still danger from humans, but some practice possibilities for noobs since bots filled the remaining spaces.
I'm a more experienced player, but my friends aren't and really struggle being thrown into the deep end in public servers, especially in this version cough CoD-like cough of BF.
Basically, it seems the measures taken to 'fix' the XP farms are completely 'EA', ie. lies and gaslighting.
In my opinion, they've removed it all to try and monetise the difficulty of the initial unlocking of the attachments, gadgets and weapons needed to even stand a chance in the game.
"Ooo look, the game is getting streamers all excited and making it popular. Let's make them pay for early unlocks!"
