Ping limit (region lock).
Please implement a ping limit. It is detrimental to the gameplay when half the server are vpn users from the other side of the planet. Without taking into account that some of them are clearly cheati...

This would effectively block people from playing the game they paid for. EA/DICE is shutting down servers around the world, people are not using VPNs, they're being routed out of their home region.
And before anyone says there's high ping advantage, try playing with high ping first.
I would not be surprised if they actually are shutting down servers in lesser populated areas. I lately see an influx of high ping players on EU PlayStation only servers.
EA has proven that they take cost cuttings more seriously than giving service to their customers, why else would you lay off your developers?
As someone living in the Middle East, I can confirm the server closest to me has closed. I am now forced playing in the EU, with a ping of 65 (not the worst, but really not ideal).
To the OP: what you are asking for is just not going to happen, because of the receding player base. The matchmaking insist on finding you a match in seconds, and as I mentioned many servers have closed, so people DO get thrown on out-of-region servers regularly. And on top of that, you will have players from the right region but with high ping, but they have bought the game and you don't get to kick them out. Put all of that together and you see it's just not feasible.
