Disallow massively high ping players to connect

Didn't see a dev section, so sorry if this is on the wrong place..

I joined a game and my singed instantly pings his ping, he has 9k, climbs to 12k later in the game. Obviously the game is ruined, he has 3 cs and multiple deaths at 10 minutes because he probably cant even right click without a 10 second delay.

WHY is he even allowed to connect in the first place?????? That is obviously unplayable ping, WHY ruin the game for the 9 other players who don't have dial up. Why not disallow players with such ping to connect so we can just remake???

Not to mention I will NEVER see that LP again or that half hour of my life.

whoever downvoted this has no concept of a fair game.

any ping over 1000 ms is unplayable

hell ping over 100 ms is effectively unplayable but i understand lag spikes can happen and they can jump to 400-500 for a few seconds

but if your ping is over 1000 u should NOT be able to connect to anything but bots.

there is no point in the game allowing you to ruin said game for 4 other players

They actually have this concept on some Conan Exiles servers. A friend that I loved to RP with wasn't able to connect to the same server as I chose because he was over 100 ping. Mind you, he was only at 130.

We were able to find a server to play on, but I was kind of curious why that would matter on an RPG. It does make perfect sense in this scenario.
