Quoting from the code that does it....



They go on to warn



The reason why seems quite clear to me, above 75ms and someone on a very high ping (say Australia) will get performance somewhat like someone closer to the server (like North America) but someone in North America isn't going to see much of anything, as their ping is already low enough.

However, the source code does make very clear that the server can see this, and clear to me too, it is going to put an account at risk should they look in their logs and act on the server's detection. Even for someone with 220ms ping they can say "hmmm, logs show he is playing at 75ms"

It would be far better if SE fixed their janky netcode.
i mean absolutely no offense by this but i feel like a lot of foreigners severely underestimate just how large the united states is compared to japan or their home country.

so big in fact going by this map that you could fit 30 european countries inside the entire mainland united states (not counting alaska or hawaii), so if you don't live on the west coast or even the midwest your ping is going to be crap. i'm on the east coast and i sit at about 90-95ms which is nearly 1/1000th of a second, which adds up pretty quickly
