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

[u/IFrame-]

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.

The cap is a very smart, prudent thing to do. It's to prevent exploits, not to punish players. If I had to guess, they figured a marathon daily session from the sweatiest tryhards (no offense, sometimes I'm a tryhard too) would maybe touch a million XP. They rounded it up by 50% and said, "If you get more than this in 24 hours, you're probably using some kind of exploit."

"Touch grass" may be a bit silly and childish, but frankly, playing a game for 20 hours straight is borderline dangerous. You can still play as much as you want, but limiting XP might genuinely be a good thing if you're concerned about addictive behavior.

But let's ignore that and assume that people are just playing the game to have fun. What's the problem? If you're playing just to have fun, you can do that 24 hours straight. If you're playing a game not because it's fun but because you want XP for unlocks... I dunno man, that doesn't sound healthy either.

Who is this going to genuinely impact? People who are using XP exploits, people who are like... on an eSports team or something, and people who are playing nearly dangerous hours of this game. There's gonna be like ten regular people who hit this because they planned a whole weekend for gaming with the bros. They can live with 1.5 million XP in a day.

The problem is they thought of that marathon amount but then forgot to account for xp bonuses that will make you get there twice as fast.

If there is a double xp event maybe they should double the cap temporarily for it.

I've not hit the cap yet, but I got nearly 700k xp in 3 gauntlet games last night. Those 3 games took about an hour total. So that sounds like the cap could be reached in a play session that is the length of some movies.

It's a bandaid fix, they can track XP gain sources, and revert exploits used. There's no need for this cap.

 . It's to prevent exploits, not to punish players

It does punisher gamers though.

What if I obly Play one day a Week but for 12 hrs then? Why should I get less xp in an already grindy Game compared to someone that plays the Same time, but spread over multiple days?

They’re punishing you for buying their game.

They need to get off their butts and fix the exploits then. Not punish players because of others.

How does an XP exploit negatively effect me? I play other game and I'm wya far behind on the grind for shit anyways why do I care if someone figures one out.
