Pings in Warcraft is over rated.

[Your Friendly Bot]

I joined a game. The host pinged the room and got me at 300 ms.

Luckily, the host knew that some people could lag at 20 ms while some won't at 900 ms.

So he let me stay. But the other people were like:

OMG, you're letting him in? Didn't you see the ms you noob!

or

300 ms and you're letting him in??? WTF, host is retarded.

and they usually leave.

But when we played, I didn't lag. And funny as it is, the person who accused me that I will lag... Is lagging...

So, my say is, why the hell is ping the foundation of either keeping you in or not?

If you're saying that the program was shitty, well, all ping bots usually get me a 300 ms.

Why does this host use a pingbot if he doesn't care about the ping?

 

[Super-Sheep]

Always ping more than once. Spikes hurt.

It maybe was your internet connection?
It have happends to me before. But I haven't lagged that much. xD

 

[Paladon]

I have never actually checked any ping. I do not even know what exactly the ping means.

Ping's probably the response time from the server (host) to the target. Like host to Paladon responds somewhere in 20 ms.

 

[~Void~]

Most people boot any ping over 100, which is stupid, because 100ms is ONE TENTH of a second.

If you're saying that the program was shitty, well, all ping bots usually get me a 300 ms.

Always TO with me.

Pings are indeed overrated, FPS is more accurate ^^
(I don't think you can see other people's FPS, but I always use xFire to see mine, or you can type /fps )

Most people that react like "omg, n0000bb, 3O0 ping, h3's the n00bz0r, k1kc him!!!!" are usually the ones that will get kicked if they join my maps.
