Bot Filled Lobbies - MATCHMAKING Issues [SOUTH AFRICA].

Question

Hi everyone,I'll start this off by stating, this game is really amazing. I've been enjoying it, however the bot filled lobbies are getting out of hand.Every single game I, or any of my friends play are populated with 70% bots. While I understand the purpose of this, the matchmaking doesn't makes sense.&nbsp;We've conducted tests with the current matchmaking system. 4 players solo queued at the same time. All 4 were placed in different servers that populated with bots. This doesn't make sense. From what I read, bot filled servers are due to low player counts in specific regions, however... why are human players not matched more efficiently? it feels like there are too many servers or the matchmaking system isn't working properly and that it prioritizes starting a game (with bots) rather than matching available players and squads.&nbsp;This isn't something that generally bothers me, but it has with this game specifically. I don't see the point in paying premium price for a AAA to play with bots.I really hope they look at this!Thank you,&nbsp;

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 botsProblem 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.&nbsp;

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... :(
