@CyberDymeProblem with that is you will have to get EA to invest in more servers in more places. It's one think blocking a player from Singapore (for example) accessing EU servers or EU accessing west coast US, but if you have bought the game in a more remote region with few if any servers, EA cannot ban them from playing as they sold the game in the first place.
EA is not to ban any players here for their ping. EA should just have sufficient server capacity for each of the regions in which they sell their games in. And moreover, anybody buying the game are free to setup and play the game on their own Portal servers, so don't really see a big problem here.
What I asked for is the access to truly see the ping of all players on the server that we play on.
And that the Portal servers would have the functionality enabled for us, as server owner/admin, to kick/block players above a certain desired ping level.
This is how the PC world have had it through the years, so nothing new here really. But not so for the players on consoles. I would expect the PC players to become very upset if they are no longer able to put such thresholds on their player population on their servers.
I ran a survey here on this a few weeks back, where the majority of all PC players all voted that max ping should be max around 100 milliseconds. They would be shocked if having to endure with the console players and their 100+ millisecond pings, often way up higher than that...

@CyberDymeyes they should have more server locations if EA sell a multiplayer only game worldwide. But we know EA are skin flints.
Exactly my biggest worry @ninjapenquinuk ,
They often run cheap where they absolutely shouldn't...
