+1, I am AU, when I logged onto Loka in April after being banned for 9 months I was at 277ms, over time and numerous host changes, hours spent with customer support and hundreds of dollars spent on new ethernet cables, higher quality routers and a different internet plan I now sit at a comfortable 220, this ping is still bad and would be decreased even further with exitlag however this ping is a privilege that many do not recieve.
Players such as Gwoe and 4mew, are AU and recieve 450ms+ ping, myself included follow extensive ping spikes.
In the past Loka has attempted to argue that the playerbase for AU and AS isnt enough to support a proxy or VPN access however with the influx of popularity of the gamemode diapot within the AS and AU community it brings new players to the LOKA community.
Gwoe and myself have brang over 20+ AU players and can easily bring more howevr are limited by the large amount of players who are stuck in 500ms jail.
For the same reasoning the chinese were allowed exitlag why cant we? they cant "play" without it. Is 500ms considered playable?
Argue it all you want its just straight discrimination.
With the extensive activity prominent through these players I am confident players like myself and Gwoe would "vouch" for AU's who would use exitlag appropriately and would be willing to cop the punishment if a player that they vouched turns out to misuse the privelege.
With Asia making up over half the world its insane how its untapped into loka and can grow its playerbase so much more. Towns like Aleph and Sovereign housing such large amounts of players who are all 180ms+ ruining my ranked experience.
Numerous people could get 30-50ms lower with exitlag.
I am truly unsure as to what Loka's issue is with this, servers such as CCnet have extensive whitelist only Exitlag programs and yes they face alting, all servers do but its NOT because of exitlag.
Yamxn a recent turkish player alted and cheated against me in ranked and wasnt banned until hours later, exitlag is not the reason for this.
ANY residential VPN AND homemade vpns can be used to alt on loka and this is public information, truly if i got banned whats stopping me from going to my irl friends house 10min away and playing on his pc? the system itself is flawed and irreparable but protective measures can be ensured.
May I suggest people who would be willing to vouch their peers for exitlag access.

a common arguement featuring "play on your own region" is not excusable as loka is a specific server that isnt shared in characteristics in othr servers.
if this was happening to EU's it would be fixed immediately due to the larger playerbase.
I am sick beyond words of paying way to much money for better routing to still not be sub 200ms. I could recruit ALL of my friends but they have no interest in 400ms
lastly if you really want to you could do an affiliate link with exitlag and about 100 referrals would sign up for exitlag on loka.
Make Loka Great Again. #ban gwoe from ranked
#kileld gwoe in ranked twice he ragequit and blocked me
