Limit Datacenter choices to under 100ms ping.
All the "server problems" people complain about are most likely due to the small number of high latency players in their lobby.
There are numerous streamers who advocate using higher ping datacenters to gain an unfair advantage.
I believe these people should be banned according to the TOS.
You reset dashboarders for abusing a glitch. These people are abusing a built in feature.
Limit Datacenter choices to under 100ms ping AND temporary ban people who choose high ping datacenters.

If high ping players in your lobbies mess the server up for everyone, than Respawn must do something about it; at least implement ping based matchmaking. But when you claim that the server problems is "most likely due" to high ping players makes me wonder what you base this on.
Me and two friends actually did some experiments on this a while ago, since we also had the theory that high ping is what causes enemy players with stuttering movements and noreg hits etc. So what we did was joined the same lobby in two different team, two of us in one team and the third in the other team. Then we jumped to the most remote location we could, making sure that we were alone. Then we used VPNs to manipulate our pings, switching around from our "normal ping" of 22-25 ms, to 250 ms. And then we fought each other with different combinations of high and low pings. In one trail, player 1 would have 250 ping and player 2 and 3 normal ping. In another trail, player 1 would have normal ping while player 2 and 3 would have 250 ping etc etc.
And what we saw was this:
The only effect of playing with high ping that we could find was the "getting shot around corners"-effect, which ofc worked the other way around; a high ping player can both land shot "around corners" and get shot "around corners". Im not saying that high ping players isnt a problem; maybe the server performance is reduced if too many players play with high ping but we can only speculate about that.
Btw; I wrote this on a similar thread some time ago but people just called me an idiot and that I had no clue what I was talking about...... So Im the idiot when I base my claims on actual experimentation and observation when they just talk from their gut feelings? Welcome to the internet 2020 I guess =).
6 years and still not implemented.
