EA/Dice have proven that they just don't care about these issues which tarnish their reputation and make potential customers for future products angry and frustrated. They must be under the mistaken impression that the gaming community will take this kind of nonsense. And yet, keep buying their next product. Unbalanced servers (where one team may have up to a squad or more players), lack of choices for servers (All seem to be either full with queues waiting or barren with no players joining). Or, finding a server with player slots available, but then you join to find it is either unbalanced or the team you were assigned to is getting *. Does this sound like fun to anybody? Why would I buy yet another WWII shooter and go through the same, lousy, frustrating online experience? I am turning to Fortnite. Which even the free BR is a better online experience than what EA/Dice now offer. Even BF4 (which used to a very good online experience) has now inherited the same issues that we see in BF1. Don't even waste your time trying to get into a game of "Incursions". The matchmaking process there is total BS. It will tell you that you will have to wait up to 5 minutes for a match to be found. My experience is that you have to wait at least twice that long. So what we can deduce from these, real time experiences is that EA/Dice know about the issue. But choose not to do anything meaningful about it. I have seen messages in BF1, now and again that auto balancing is taking place. But it doesn't. The player count remains out of balance and the team with the most players will almost always win the match. What you can do is vote with your wallet and not buy BFV. That would send a message to EA/Dice...... maybe.
A side note: I love how this forum is censored but anything can be chatted in BF1. Racist, profane slurs and just about any language is fine there. But here in the forums censorship rules. Hypocrisy at best.....
