Bot Filled Lobbies - MATCHMAKING Issues [SOUTH AFRICA].

It's broken at the moment.

I know this for a fact because I logged on yesterday morning, around this time, actually it was an hour earlier, 5:30AM on a Sunday Morning in Central United States, I was met with a server queue, placed in the 5000 wait list, which was a shock. When I got in minutes later, all the matches were 90% bots.

During peak play times on Xbox with cross play off, I am lucky to get one match per day that isn't filled with at least 50% bots.

It ruins the experience, My greatest moments fall flat when they're against the EA bot farm.

I feel like there are to many strings being pulled in different directions to control how we enjoy the game, and it's is making it a miserable experience, or at the very least taking away from any joy.

Problem 1. The assignments required to progress are too exhausting without bots

Problem 2. They won't let us progress on our own bot servers.

Solution. replace most players with bots on public servers so players have a path to progression, and selling them xp boosters to make up for the frustrations.

just happened again at 6:50am Monday morning, I was 1200 in queue, looking at the lobbies now, I joined breakthrough from featured menu, and it's 7 players 54 bots

I get this. The problem I have is that they are working on current challenges to make progress easier so that eliminates that...

What I don't get though, is the prioritizing of "starting games" instead of matching actual players. It's silly to pay 70 bucks for a game just to play against AI... :(

I've been playing since release and I have not once had a full lobby of players.
My Multiplayer matches are filled to the brim with bots and I'm starting to get tired of it, increase the match search time and remove the bots. I didn't pay $70 (R1200) to play against freaking Bots.

The issue of bots backfilling is still at hand and I haven't seen a fix for it or talk of them going to fix it. You find a match really fast even after leaving one and going again, it takes around 3-5 seconds and every time you join there are like 6 players each side and that's it, it doesn't fill up any further, the most I have seen was around 15 players but that was once in a Breakthrough match. We can't even host a server as it says game quota exceeded, I hope they fix this soon and I hope the Devs are looking at these forums.
