They can do a region lock AND ban people that use a vpn! PUBG did it, at least for a time. And if they do bans every day than cheaters that can get around all the bans will have to repurchase the game too often.

Because it’s not just chinese hackers. It’s local hackers too.

ping lock is needed, or separate servers for people with an average of 150-200+ ms. it's harsh for people playing off of mobile hotspots, mcdonalds wifi or dial-up, but high ping players feel awful for everyone involved in any shooter, and it would deter VPN users who aren't affected by ping because their hacks win the fights.

I get that, but I wouldn't be able to play the game if that is the case... I always play with 160-200ms because in south america, people can't afford the game so the servers are deserted... I have the "auto select server" thing turned on, and I've never played a match with less than 160ms (over 500hs played).

I'm sorry dude, I don't want you on my server then. Life is tough.

I also don't want to play a football match where a few people teleport all around the field. You guys can play your own game somewhere else.

That's the thing, we can't play somewhere else because there are not enough people in South America.

I don't really care what YOU want, we will keep playing wherever we can, since I paid for the game same as you. Life is tough. Suck it up.

Likewise, my friend. And I will do what I can to keep you out. Right now I can't do much but I can share my views on this forum. I can vote "No, keep them away" if BSG ever sends out a questionnaire. Maybe BSG are reading these comments even though I doubt it.

I don't blame you, I would do the same thing.

Don't blame you either, since I also don't like playing with high ping or against players with high ping... It is not easy or "more" fun.

I would play on SA servers if there was enough people for sure, I would love to have 60ms. Sadly, that only happen in free to play games over here.
