NA players who have quit. Would you return if they region locked NA servers?

Been getting back into the game after a while. Other players with less than 100 ping are like unicorns. I almost never see them. It's pretty annoying dying miles behind cover because abdo and his potato internet seem to think they have line of sight on me even though I walked behind a wall 10 minutes ago. 90% of my deaths are from players i can't even see. It drives me up the wall.

So, i'm wondering if this is the main reason there's barely any actual NA players on the NA servers. Would you come back, or would the servers just die because only Egy players actually use them?

Or should they just rename them EGY1-2-3... and so on since that's the bulk of the playerbase?

    Is the same in UK servers as well. xD
  • They'll never region lock. They need to fill their "We're diversity!" feelgood quotas, even if it means leading the game to shut down , which is typical for all North American branches of games (which I've seen happen. They only care about the bottom line. If they have an influx of foreign players that do nothing but lag, glitch and cheat, and they see a potential for more cash, they'll still choose the money over the community and the well being of the game itself.

    Same thing that's happening with Crossfire happened with Sudden Attack North America (had an influx of Brazilians, then after they got their own version
    Egyptians replaced them), then after the player base was dying due to laggers and cheaters they shut the game down (not before having an item sale one month before the shut down though. We can't forget about the sales, we need those!). I'm just waiting for this game to suffer the same fate.

    The only time there will be a region lock is if a region gets it's own version, but why waste more money when you can just worry about the profit? North American branches of these asian games are just canon-fodder for the main game(in this case China). Just accept it for what it is.

    It's a North American tradition.
  • That theyre lagging is not even the real problem try to play ranked without seeing atleast every other game a egy named ahmed or mido that cheats.They should give them their own server or just ban cause in their little peanut sized brains they only know how to open a random exe and cheat and later get their acc stollen. Or they could make ranked colonel and upwards only because i even saw several silver majors that were cheating needles to say they were egys too.
  • this won't happen ..... I mean 50% of CF players are Egy... the game will not let go of such a number of players in favor of some NA players...the game even started to make some event in egy ans some special offers for them...
  • Try to play scrims ,cups or pugs, public is boring anyways.
    they wont change something since 60% or more are egys overall.

    Their attitude was the same with Brazilians pre-2014, when this game was infested with them. They don't care and have never cared about the game. They're sellouts.
