Frankfurt servers broken. Add ability to blacklist servers/set default server

As the title says, the Frankfurt servers are absolute tr4sh. Literally every single game on a Frankfurt 2 server has a huge packet loss for me, however when I change the server to for example Belgium GCE 2, the game works flawlessly.

We need the ability to blacklist certain servers, or set a default server instead of using your "lowest ping" strategy...

Apex just connects me to the server with lowest ping, which is Frankfurt 2 with 49

However the Belgium servers are close second, with 50 ping

The game is, however, unplayable on the Frankfurt server due to permanent packet loss, so I really, really, REALLY do not mind that 1 more millisecond if it means that I can actually play the game.

Another problem is that when I change the server to Belgium, the game will, for some reason, move me to the Frankfurt again after a few games...

And no, the server isn't overloaded, it's monday 8 AM, I started playing at 7 AM, the packet loss is there permanently.

What's also weird is that on the serverlist, the Frankfurt server apparently has no packet loss

    Your observation is 100% spot on, Frankfurt servers (and most of the time Amsterdam) are somehow internally flawed and generating huge packet loss but the packet loss is not shown in the server list. They are basically unplayable.
