"A statement from Battlefield Studios last week said that its internal data indicated that a "large number of these [bot-enabled Portal servers] were created primarily to earn XP, inflate player stats, and earn special accolades through defeating bots." While the developers understand why players would make these lobbies, it was making it "noticeably harder" for players to find non-XP-farming experiences in Battlefield Portal."
"Though the bot farms are now dead, Battlefield Studios is still working on solving the underlying progression frustrations that led to players resorting to XP farms in the first place. In an update last week, Battlefield Studios increased the amount of XP earned from match completion and daily challenges, as well as reduced the amount of Mastery XP needed to unlock a weapon's first 20 Mastery ranks. Assignments that required players to reach career ranks 20, 23, and 26 in order to unlock were also adjusted to instead unlock at ranks 10, 15, and 20."
Battlefield Studios removed Mastery XP and challenge progression rewards from Battlefield 6 Portal lobbies that have bots enabled. Players can still earn career XP and a 150% match completion bonus in bot-enabled lobbies, while Portal lobbies without bots continue to grant Mastery and challenge progress. Internal data showed many bot-enabled servers were created primarily to farm XP, inflate player stats, and earn special accolades. The studio aims to reinforce player-driven experiences while preserving room for custom setups and creativity. The studio increased XP from match completion and daily challenges, reduced Mastery XP for early ranks, and lowered assignment rank requirements, with more progression changes possible.
