The only problem is that if they do this, then they will need to add more servers to those other regions that have no choice but to join the U.S. servers and such. Of course though, it would be better for residents of the officially supported countries like us though. ---

If ping limits do come (I still have every doubt), my ping NY to Brazil (for example) is 225 ms. A ping cap would need to be lower then that to make a difference and then you still have the current lag compensation scheme favoring dial up. And yes, it’s not a troll threat to say I am done if no changes come. I simply cannot justify additional purchases on DLCs and games to be an easy target for an OOR. > [@](#): > > _iSpyRecon said:_ > Yes I agree but South America is hosting servers in every region now. I guess ‘enter at your own risk’ would be the motto there. When I server browser my local (east coast US) I often have no other option but to jump in to their rented servers. Granted, when I do jump on a DICE server (east coast US), it’s all South American players anyway. In game we have EAST US and WEST US. In BL there is NORTH AMERICA and SOUTH AMERICA. South America shows no active servers. Just give South America the West US and name it South America. I have zero issue playing with someone from the west coast US and them with me. In any event, any changes must include South America having servers and then a ping lock would force them to stay there - rented anyway. ---
