Their changes literally makes zero **bleep**ing sense. Portal will just be dead with these changes. You want to limit XP/weapon progression with lobbies with bots.. okay makes sense. But with how janky it is to use the server browser and find servers you want, it's impossible to find a full server that has not used bots to backfill to get filled with real players. Even once the bots are removed and it's a full server, there's still zero weapon progression regardless if you're still getting end of match XP.
So you can't use bots to backfill if you want XP/weapon progression, but let's also make it **bleep**ing impossible to get a legit server stated without backfilling bots because of how hard it is to actually use the server browser. Makes total sense
