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.
@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.

Great your servers have a 150ms ping must be the best server ever!! - Ironhead8413 years agoHero
Uhm, you tagged me and said I was "Factually wrong" which I interpreted as a response to my post about high-ping players affecting servers (I can't seem to find any reference to "top-streamers in that post, weird huh?) so, I responded accordingly.
And another correction for you, nobody has private servers anymore, period. EA/Dice in their infinite wisdom have removed that feature from all of us.
Those weren't my servers, per se, I donated (happily, btw) to the rental of said servers and helped administrate them.
I was part of several clans that had many privately run servers with ping-limitations and actually our servers were quite popular and had no problem fully populating and maintaining a sub 150ms player base.
