Way too little, and way too late. Also lol @ anyone who believes this is going to go off well, 100% certain EA will screw this up even worse than the BF franchise itself.
It’s over, just make the next one a mobile game. PLEASE don’t make a BC3, I don’t want you to ruin that franchise either.
Few more things 
More needed functions for the basic config:
Finally! Let’s just hope that they will be ranked as it helps communities to gather new players. This is what this game needs! Communities!
Bye then waves. Wouldn’t want that attitude stinking up my server anyways. 
That’s a fair point, but what about the genuine cheater/hackers that need to be banned?
About time. Without this the game will be dead within a year.
Since everyone I know who did play this and use a Mike no longer plays, so maybe 25 people how am I supposed to get an invite onto a private server? Or can I request it?
Indeed, there are genuine cheaters/hackers that needs to be banned so permaban is needed function in the beginning…
I do expect admins to be able to perms ban from their servers if paid. Of course I’d prefer the admin have the ability to do bans on free custom servers as well
As a clan leader myself my observation is as follows.
BF1 rental servers were a waste of time as unless you followed Dices rules ie the server would only go live if there were 20 players on it then it was a waste of money as our clan was only 20 players in total and any public soon left as it wouldnt start. You could after a while change it to 5 v 5 but that change of rules dropped it out of the main server page so no members of the public were directed to the server.Rental servers need to be able to have whatever rules the clan/person wants and still be visable. BF4 and before all have this ability where ppeople search for maps alone and join servers so why not BF1 and V?
As an admin/clan my priority is to make the server a fun place to play a game on period. If a player comes on whos skillset is so good that he disrupts play and causes other players to leave then we should have the ability to warn, kick,ban that player in that order. There were thousands of servers out there and if you dont play on that one then theres always many others to play on so no need to cry just play on another one. I am banned from quite a few servers on BF4 and I dont sweat about it and just find another server to play on. Its their server so they can admin it as they see fit.

Vote map would be nice too as an optional.
Or players who aren’t cheating but are disrupting the server, e.g. “griefers” who actively try to sabotage their team (saw one of those just yesterday), or trolls who want to stir up flame wars, or those who harass other players–all people admins should rightfully be able to kick. And then there are those players who are good enough to actually empty a server either because the other team thinks they’re cheating or just doesn’t see the point in getting slaughtered by some “pro” (or group of such players). Whoever is paying for the server isn’t going to take kindly to it sitting empty because of players like that, and that absolutely can and will happen, I’ve seen it too many times to doubt it. I remember an admin kicking a well-known Little Bird ace from a BF4 server with the message, “Go empty a server YOU pay for”–and he was right, in less than two rounds that player had taken the server from full to half-empty.
Let’s also not forget that the hotshots with “decent aim” tend not to like competing against others at their level, they like to harvest easy kills off disorganized noobs/scrubs which gives them those juicy stats they care so much about. You’d think such folks would like to play in clan scrims or leagues or whatever for the challenge, but that is typically not the case, they like it to be easy, not challenging.
Well said. There were servers in BF3 and BF4 with custom rules that were still ranked in the sense that they generated stats, didn’t cause any problems I ever saw. But for some reason this has always bugged EA, as if players getting pistol kills in pistol-only servers made the leaderboards illegitimate–EA conveniently forgetting that the top of the leaderboards were always dominated by blatant cheaters to the point where nobody in their right mind took those stats seriously.
I’m okay with weapons or gadgets being prohibited provided it doesn’t give anyone an unfair advantage. There was a tank-riding clan in BF4 who banned C4, AT mines, Javelins etc., and would kick an attack chopper pilot who killed them too often in their server (one of the few “badmin” servers I encountered). Tailoring the rules to give some players an advantage should not be allowed. On the other hand, a sniper-only server or tanks only or whatever is fine as everyone has the same weapons, nobody is at a disadvantage. EA needs to make it clear that stacking the deck will result in the server being shut down, so in that sense I don’t think total autonomy is okay.
A new RSP could be good for BFV, but if EA messes it up like they did in BF1 it will be a waste of time.
The free servers disappear as soon as they are unpopulated, so a kick might be good enough on such servers. A permanent paid-for server needs a ban list.
Just a drop of reality here, this is EA saying RSP (Private Server) coming sometime. Not expecting much.
After Summer , which is pretty vague and I am not overly excited as this could be anytime really as no end date given. This is of course USA summer which is June/August
It is therefore realistically after August this year.

How many maps in the vote? Not 2 like BF1, say 4 maps .. would be ideal.
Breadcrumbs to keep you hanging on…
