I'm getting servers reporting pings that are nowhere near their real values
appearing on my list.

E.g. 31 ping from a server in California. In game, my ping is around ~150,
and I'm from Hong Kong!

There seems to be a very serious problem with servers faking their ping now,
any way to detect this?

Regards,

Nanosheep
