Although the dude is a moron, I share his intention. There were two guys from Japan on EU yesterday, and one of them was running eight figures while spamming. Guess what, he had a score of 20+ to 4 or so. I fought him a couple of times, and it was very hard to hit him.
Fact is: bad ping does not only work to your disadvantage. I don't know how Warband is coded, but there are several possibilities to deal with the inevitable connection roundtrip time, and not all of them are a disadvantage for the actual lagging player.
That's why I support a 200 ping max limit. If it goes above that for 10 seconds, you are kicked. At least on one of the servers, so that foreign guys still have a chance to play on the other servers.
