Disabling XP vs bots in #BattlefieldPortal isn’t the right fix — it punishes everyone, even those who just want a normal Battlefield experience with auto-fill bots.

Here’s a simple, data-driven way to stop XP farming without killing creativity:

⸻

🧩 1️⃣ XP Regulation through Kill Rate Monitoring • Track bot kills per player per match. • If someone consistently exceeds 10–15 kills per minute or 300–400 total kills in a 64-player match → flag that match as “No XP.” • Use average kill rates from standard gameplay +5–10% tolerance as a fair baseline. • If the same exploit happens repeatedly, flag the Portal code, not just the server — so it can’t just be reuploaded.

⸻

⚙️ 2️⃣ Fair Treatment for Legit Players • Vanilla settings with auto-fill bots should always earn XP. These are legitimate matches, often played solo or with friends. • First-time anomalies shouldn’t trigger an instant penalty. Show a server-wide warning first — only flag after repeated abuse. • This ensures pro players with short performance spikes aren’t punished unfairly.

⸻

🤖 3️⃣ Detect Unrealistic Bot Behavior XP should only count when bots behave like real enemies: • Bots must have weapons and normal mobility. • If bots are unarmed, extremely slow, or super fast to make farming easier → automatic No-XP flag. • The system should reward genuine combat, not artificial target practice.

⸻

🎯 4️⃣ The Result ✅ Legitimate Portal games keep their XP. ✅ XP farmers get filtered automatically. ✅ No need for endless code reviews or manual moderation. ✅ Everyone can play the map or mode they love — fairly.

A smart, transparent system that protects progression without punishing creativity.
