I agree with this. This thread gets my +1 as well. Even though we all know that EA does not care about the African continent as a customer base. I still feel the need to give my vote here. We have had the ability to rent servers and host them locally in our own countries (South Africa for example), this allows us to enjoy playing EA games such as Battlefield while enjoying low latency. But now EA is forcing us to play on international servers, with ping no lower than 200ms at best. This means we will constantly get kicked from servers, and most probably banned by the server administrators. Having this high latency, affects not only us but also the local players from where those servers are being hosted. EA, why do you have to be so stuck up, seriously? What have you possibly got to lose on your end, if you were to allow us to have local servers? I really cannot understand why this is an issue for you. I will not buy BF1, until we have the ability to also enjoy the game at low latency. Yes, I know I am only one person. But I know for a fact this others will also refuse to purchase the game due to the same reason. Even though we all know how great this game is, and it is most probably one of the best Battlefields to ever release, you have decided to scr3w your loyal customers with your childish decision regarding hosted servers. I also do not care if you were to ban my Origin account due to my remarks, or my choice of words as you already lost me as a customer. I have supported your franchise since Battlefield 2, all the way through every single release of Battlefield. Yet this is how you repay us? You need to take your heads out of your , and listen for once. You have a whole continent of a community, a loyal one at that. We are crying for you to answer us and to reconsider your choices that you have made to abandon us. Give us what we need, to be able to enjoy this game both socially and competitively. We have a major e-Sports scene in South Africa, and I am sure they do not want to stick to Battlefield 4 while Battlefield 1 is out there, being played competitively in other countries that are able to enjoy low latency competitive gaming. How do you expect us to compete with others, with over 200ms latency, being forced down on us by you? ---
