I understand how this works that you mentioned.
I was only talking about players with bad pings that cause them lag, therefore they won't want to play on the servers...

Don't beat yourself up and worry about it! The only thing you can control on your end, is making sure you have a decent connection and speed, and of course, you always want to play with the lowest pings, to give you the fastest and smoothest game play, this is all you should worry about... 😉
You don't need to degrade or lower anything, if the gaming company servers we are playing on are setup properly, then as long as you have a decent internet connection/speeds, you should be getting optimal pings.
Of course there are those that live in very remote parts of the world that have to take many hops across servers, across the world, that would cause them to always have higher pings.
GEO Location, and the Internet Backbone you travel across, to connect to the world also plays a part. So if you have the choice of several ISP to choose from, there is always the possibility that one provides better routing...
Bottom line; if you don't live out in the middle of no where, have a decent connection, with a fairly decent ISP and Backbone in the country you live, then you should be pretty good to go. One last thing, make sure you also have a decent Router, and I don't recommend playing over WiFi, play Wired!
We're also suppose to be able to switch between Data Centers on the Game, so you can pick different servers.
