It's unfair to entertain high ping players when they can negatively impact a fire fight, and server stability.
Seriously
@777aTriXPeople with a high ping do not impact server stability, the issue comes from people with a fluctuating ping, and that's not going to give them an advantage, probably the contrary.
That's an accessibility issue, not everyone has access to a high quality fiber connection.

I can tell you from many years of renting servers and administrating them (all the way back to BF1942, just for reference) that "People with a high ping do not impact server stability" is just factually wrong.
That's why we used to have ping limiters on our servers.

What "iteration" are you talking about?

@Ironhead841Factually wrong yourself every top streamer goes through a vpn even from the same country and use marcros etc. I have had a ping of 252ms and over so what is the ping limit?

So, you don't think high-ping players affect the server detrimentally?
I have no idea how "top streamers" are connecting or what macros they use or anything else and frankly I'm not understanding how that is relevant to the topic.
As to your question of ping limits, we generally had ours set to a max ping of 150ms and it seemed to work out quite well for our servers.
