Sooo, I live in a 3rd world country with decent internet connection which sometimes randomly drops.
But since I live halfway across the globe in the Middle East my pings to people in US are pathetic which causes crap ton of lag.
The pings aren't that bad to EU but they do go at 100+ easily just because of the distance between my country and the region I'm match made in.
I usually play with people in EU to minimize lag so I don't cause much problems to others. I mainly focus PvP, heck I can't even remember the last time I did a PvE raid.
But trials fire team consist of people all around the globe. To teams which have a EU host but one member is US, I'll lag for them. I know its annoying for them, but I really can't help it.
I bought this game for PvP, and now I have been banned for 2 months because my internet connection is unstable? I run a 15 Down 10 Up connection. And usually all matches are lagless except for a few where the EU host has people in his fire team from US. In those cases, I drop yellow to red bars in this lobby.
Let me just get to the point, so Bungie is basically penalizing me for living in a 3rd world country, and I'm not allowed to PvP because I live here? I'm really not freaking moving to US just because of this game. I really wish I could, but no, I don't have the resources for it.
I main PvP, and now I can't access it because my country has bad pings to people in US. I really can't help it and if I could I would.
I stream so, my past broadcasts can easily testify my connection not being bad to people in EU because I hold a greenbar for them.
I paid for this game and If I can't access a major part of it just because I live here. I am pissed. So I'm getting penalized for basically being born in a 3rd world country with bad internet. Believe me, I have got the best Internet in the country you can buy.
I would really like some help here because this is utter bullcrap.

3 RepliesHow do you know what country or continent the people you're playing are from? And how do you supposedly choose to mostly play with people from certain places? I'm curious whether we really have that visibility or control... if so how? (Are you on xbox or ps?
