This is a complicated problem, because if you're in a very populated region like the EU, or the coastline regions of the US, you'll end up with a pretty decent ping. Other regions may struggle with getting good connections to their server and a ping of 200+ is completely normal there. Some users have issues with getting a good ping to servers in their own region, because of ISP routing issues.
So DICE needs to be very careful when applying ping limits, or you end up preventing some people from playing the game. Ideally you'd have region locks, but those unfortunately don't work when the user is using a VPN.
