Is this supposed to happen re Stats

Today I went on an empty server to try a few ini tweaks and noticed the bots are set at dumb level.

Whats the point of having a stats system where people get rewarded on playing and grow over time when you can simply run around shooting the dopy AI.

Sure, they get the upgrades for the guns but barely have any real skill in using it vs players.
Some grinding vs bots I justify though.. MG34 for example needs about 5000 or 6000 kill points to get the final upgrade on it. That's 2500-3000 kills with the 2x bonus on kill points.

Boosting on bots kind of destroys the thing where TW said that getting XP and levelling up weapons would take a while.

This was kind of my point.. I thought the whole idea was to keep the growth at a managable rate..

Can you imagine how many time you will need to lvl your weapons and characters when the SDK comes out ? ... only the time necesary to create a map with one side caged in a tiny space without weapons or ammo and the AI at the lower lvl .

Killing Floor has similar maps maps only intedted for lvl up or get achievements , lot of games with stats and achievements had this class of servers ... DOD:S , CS:S , TF2 ...
