Maybe there should be a user modifiable slider (Destiny)

The trade off for a better set of people to play against, is time. It's not like the networking code is bad at determining ping levels between players, but if you want a game in 20 seconds, your ONLY option for opponents are those that are also ready in that 20 second window. Destiny has a really good population (at least in my area), so this is almost no problem for me. I rarely see laggy opponents.

Perhaps if Bungie allowed some of your to wait longer for good opponents that would help you. But right now, the wait time to laggy opponent ratio is just about perfect for me. Sure I'd like less lag, but I don't want to wait longer for it.

On a tangent, the other way to do this is to open up the pool of opponents to a larger skill pool. But I'd rather face the occasional laggy opponent then walk all over or get walked over by an opponent that is not in my league.
