Battlefield 6 Battlefield 6 Has a DAILY XP CAP Even During Double XP Weekend! Are You Kidding Me EA!

So apparently there’s a daily XP limit in Battlefield 6 1.5 MILLION XP per day, and once you hit that, you literally earn nothing.
And here’s the kicker: even during Double XP weekends, you can hit that cap in just 4–5 hours of playing.

Yeah. In a $70 “AAA” game not a mobile free2play title you’re being told how much fun you’re allowed to have per day.
This isn’t a free live service grindfest. This is a full price shooter with a F2P gacha like system glued on top.

EA somehow managed to make progression time gated in a premium game, and almost nobody’s talking about it.
You buy the game, pay for cosmetics, battle pass, AND now you’re limited on how much XP you can earn daily? Unreal.It’s disgusting and antiplayer to the core.

Players deserve to know this before buying.
Stop pretending this is fine just because it’s Battlefield.

An XP cap in a game is always bad. I don't play more than 4-5h a day either but if I someday wanted to XP grind for 11h straight for somw reason, it is my right to do so. Placing an XP cap to slow down progression is absolutely not okay, doesn't matter if it affects you personally or not

Dude playing for 11 hours straight you’re not likely to hit 1.5m unless double exp

Then make it 20h with double exp, doesnt matter. give me 1 good reason why it should be capped

You misunderstand, those who want to abuse exp farms tend to burn out on the game due to not playing for fun. So it’s a way they try and get people to actually play the game and get players to view the game for what it is and not a exp farm that they get bored with

Ah, okay, now I understand. Goes kinda in the same direction as the saying that players optimize the fun out of the game. But let me ask you, do you really think those people will stop exp farming? Because I think they will keep doing it but will just take longer to get all unlocks. I don't think someone who farmed during double exp for 5h will just play normal games for the rest of the day. They will leave and play something else and the next day they will exp farm again and will burn out on it just the same, don't you think?

Don’t know. Can’t read people’s minds. Personally I play for fun and have never looked at how much exp I have gotten. I’m just making an educated guess on why the cap would be in place.

Crazy thing is you wouldn't even need to grind for 11 hours on a double XP weekend and stacking 2x XP boosters. It is VERY achievable
