high pings - epik - May 19 2012
Hello, first time posting. I'll get to the point. Servers (rotation, d2, awp) get a few people with high pings that are skipping everywhere. Have you considered implementing a system that kicks people with over 200+ or a certain limit? I know it's possible to hide your ping and deliberately make it lower but there must be some way to detect their real ping and get rid of these skippers. If they're rate hacking to purposely make themselves harder to hit, would they also be subjected to the ping cap? I'm not too familiar with how that works but I do know that a lot of the servers have/ used to have a ping cap that would kick you automatically.
Thanks

Hello, and welcome to the community. High ping doesn't mean people are lagging, but admins kick people of they are skipping everywhere. WL has a ping limit to 1000 so, that's why people from around the world come and play. Maybe it's their only server that the can play, who knows? The more ping limit the more population it will be.

The issue has been highlighted before. We might need to set up a FAQ.
Just the threads that I could find.
Do a quick search before asking your questions in the future.
