No.
We should never have region locks (I.e you can only play on your home server).
What CCP should do is force all clients to use the Automatic setting, and disable the option to change it.
Let the matchmaker decide who should be playing who, and when. |

Well, as far as I see it, today's system with manual selection of battle servers can (and is) abused.
The matchmaker tries it's best to match people with similar ping / latency based on the pool of people it has available.

The problem is I can manually select Asia as a server (I live in EU), and "overrule" part of the matchmaker process.
It has no option but to try and match my (relatively) crappy ping with the rest of the Asia players.

I understand what you say but i always have my server setted to EU except for some PC, but then why prople with an automatic server are in battles on EU server? I dont care about their ping being optimal for play on EU server but my squad( made mainly by 6 italians) cant play, now, we are EU players that cant play on our server, isnt this a bit ridicoulous?
The problem is not your setting, or that people have Automatic setting (they should have IMHO).
The problem is players that manually select a battle server which is far from them, to gain an advantage.

Let the matchmaker decide who should be playing who, and when. Why not? Would solve some latency problems. I support region locks unless the game limits the amount of ping allowed so that players have similar values.
So would forced Automatic setting.
Look, as far as I understand it, there is a subtile difference between region locking and Automatic setting.
(Could be wrong though... Has happened before  )
Region lock:
You can only play your closest server (let say Asia), and you will only be matched with players on this server.
If there are no matches / players available, tough... Close the game and do something else...
Automatic:
You will automatically play your closest server, and will mostly be matched with players on this server.
If there are no matches / players available, it goes to the next best server, and so on. |
