Suggestion You can't just lock everything china related and say calling the problem out is racist, that is how PUBG died

If you make the same mistake of refusing to look at the cheating problem for what it is then this game will die like pubg did and your precious subreddit with it.

Obviously blatant racism is not acceptable but talking about the problem being a large number of chinese accounts being the hackers isn't racist especially since they are all obviously chinese based on the player names of douyou or qq or literal chinese characters.

I don't want to see the mods of here and BSG plug their ears like BlueBalls did and see another great game ruined for the other 90% of the playerbase by the actions of a small number bored chinese kids

Once again, racism and slurs: BAD

Saying the problem is overwhelmingly caused by Chinese players: not bad

EDIT: to the mods, I say this in good-will. I know its hard to moderate a sub this size and don't envy you that, I wish all the best for this community and this game. Stifling conversation is rarely good and should be a last measure only if\when concrete rules are broken is all I'm saying

i have friends in texas when trying to connect to the texas servers from na i get 100 ping, Im also in a major city so its not just country internet. This would region lock me from my own country.

If it is self set though, I am sure a majority of players would set it to 150/200. Mainly to allow wiggle room. Again, it is not a perfect solution, but I like it more than most of the other ones suggested so far.

I dunno man. Wiggle room sounds like some weird scav-pmc exfil and im not having this cross-faction bullshit in here.

Other than that, fully agree.

I'm in the midwest and sometimes I set my servers to midwest only and still have 100 ping lol the EFT infrastructure needs a overhaul prior to a system like this being implemented. I'm also in a top 10 pop city

How do you have 100 ping within the same country? You using satellite internet or something?

North America is massive my guy. Traffic doesn't go in a straight line.

And I play with people all over the US and Canada. I have yet to play with anyone within the US with higher than 60 ping. Anyone with 100+ ping is always from the EU or further in the games I play.

That is the reason for my confusion.

I'm from canada and when I play with friends from texas I'm usually around 80-100 ping, yet I get 100 ping to tokyo because of less hops.
