I am interested if there is any possibility that console detect players who have ping over 150 and automaticly kick them? I am tired of lagging because some players want to fight while their ping is over 300. So, let them choose: cancel all downloads while playing game, restart game to lower ping or be kicked...

Some people have a higher ping even if they're not downloading stuff. When my connection is being retarded, it regularly goes over 150ms, mostly up to 600ms.
Yeah Alex, but I usually back up or don't fight when my ping is huge...I can't hit the one who I am fighting with and other way around.
I support the idea.
EDIT: @Mike, well when you say to a player to back up because his ping is big and he doesn't .... should we report him for 0.0 or live with it... anyway..there are some unfair people who don't want to back up when you ask them nicely on PM..even they know they can't fight like that
Unfortunatly some players have ping over 1000, I have seen this and have taken SS's of it. i mean, they couyld have bee downloading or whatever, but the fact remains that many people have.. less than average internet, Simply kicking them would exclude a majority of players. This isan't fair. However, i agrea they are annoying when it comes to a fight.
Unfortunately, doing either of the above does not solve anything.
I'm part of the unfortunate club of people who constantly have 300 ping - due to my geographic location. I live in the Southeast Asia region, and the large distance between me (or my ISP, at any rate) and Europe/USA means that I can't do anything about it.
Stopping downloads, restarting my game all have no effect on my ping. I could include a log from Windows's ping command if you want.
It's not ping that's bad anyways, it's lag/loss, and the server already kicks you if your lag/loss levels go over a certain level. If you wanna play like that, go to a Europe-only server or something. I, as an American, love playing on this server and my ping is regularly around 130-150.
Well I have nothing against those who have big ping..I do have it also sometimes..but at least I don't fight when that is the case...well maybe set a bigger limit than 150 like Alisa suggested.
