instead of server/ping lock, how about exclude the entire region?

I understand that lately devs have implemented server/ping lock to combat against the waves of hackers in particular region in Asia. (I won't mention the name and I'm sure a lot of you guys know who they are) However, I was informed that this particular method/implementation have affected the international clans, Sherpa programs, and, lastly, other international users with the limited numbers of server capacity in their local regions.

Instead of making difficult server connection or overloaded server status, isn't it better and easier to exclude or isolate that region that has the most number of hackers?

I'm an avid player of battleground and other FPS games that were infested with hackers from "particular" area in Asia. A lot of devs went thru what BSG is going thru. A lot of these games ended up providing an exclusive or isolated services to that region. If I'm not mistaken, even one of the largest gaming distribution services, STEAM, also came up with a solution that mandates people from that region to use their own "special" STEAM services without interrupting the rest of world/players. Please note that I'm not a racist and in fact I'm Asian American who has many international friends and clan members in Asia. But this hacker problem gotta go without hurting the bases of normal ETF players.

Will Nikita and devs please consider this option rather than this crazy server/ping lock? It's like you are trying to burn down the whole house just to catch some mosquitoes rather than coming up with effective methods to prevent mosquitoes from coming in (such as close all windows, use bugs spray, not burn down the entire house).

Please post constructive comments and I hope that devs read this post and re-consider their options. Thanks!

They are region locked already to some degree. VPN's are a thing.
