Middle East Servers Full of Bots

As long as you don't  mind joining other region's server (which you stated you don't), I don't really see what your issue is, let alone what made you post this in the bug section.

What is EA supposed to do about too few players playing in your region to fill a server?

What is preventing you to filter the server list for more populated regions?

The thing is that there are actual players, but they're not getting grouped together in one server because of the matchmaking system. Instead of grouping all active players in one server, games get filled with bots. 

Also, you can't choose a region server, it automatically searches for games in your local server. If there is a solution, please be my guest and explain it here. 

They should’ve counted how many MENA players there are before setting up useless servers, or just made games start when at least 80% are actual humans.

You’re talking just to talk without having a clue what you’re saying.

This is a problem in South Africa as well.

We've tested this and had multiple people queue at the same time. All of which were placed in different servers, that filled up with bots instead of one single server. Players are all based in the same city (Johannesburg) but were placed in empty servers across Johannesburg and Cape Town.

This doesn't make sense and as a trending topic online, there's been no communication from the Devs that this is being looked at. It's unacceptable to charge a premium price for a game just to play against AI. The match making algorithm needs to be adjusted.

That's exactly why I posted about this issue, cause I have been seeing that many people from different regions face the same issue, Asia, New Zealand, and now South Africa.

I really hope they fix this in the next update tomorrow. 

There is no server selection like Marvel Rivals(where you can select a specific region to queue) and in portal where u can actually select regions, most servers don't grant full xp

Without region select in-game, I think you will have to rely on a VPN.

And that won't work with consoles, right?
