Why do you want all the high ping players on our servers?
I find having ppl mess up our latency of the server almost more annoying than the cheater themselves.
Lags on the map and hits not being registered...
I play in the EU I wont mind anyone playing here as long as the servers are not under too much stress form the high pings.
Actually, I would like a regional blocking system in combination with a server ping limit of 80-90.
That would not fix the cheating but stabilize the servers.
And it might have some other benefits aswell.
I don't claim to be a network expert, but if having other players on a server, that are at a far GEO Location, that would introduce lag, then of course this is not a good idea.
But I will say, I've played on gaming servers in the past, as someone with lower pings, in a farther GEO relation to the other players and servers, and I wasn't introducing lag into the game by playing it.
From what I've come to understand, if players had lower pings, they shouldn't be introducing lag into the server.
Most players if their pings aren't good won't be able to play on the other servers, or they won't want to play is sort of the point.
If the GEO restriction is a better idea, so be it, but this could be easily circumvented with a VPN.
You get it wrong. High ping player don't lag the server, but they have some advantage against you, low ping player because of lag compensation.
Sound funny right?
300ms player vs 24ms player: 24ms player will see and shoot 300ms player first but 300ms player is actually not there yet cuz he's lagging behind. As a result, 24ms player misses his shots
24ms player is low on HP, so he run and hide at the corner successfully. But the game compensate the lag , so the server use his location from 1 second ago to send to 300ms player. 300ms player still able to see, shoot and finish 24ms player. It becomes "get killed behind corner" kind of kill.

You make this sound even worse...
Now I have the answer to why I die behind closed doors...
Its the high ping players first they lag and you can't shoot them, then every one of their shots hit cause of lag compensation...
So now I have to degrade/ lower my internet connection to play this game?
Is this the future of gaming?
