Well i found out after a few experiments, that if i ping a server on cmd with -t command, after an hour, the ping drops to half. i Had a few friends try it, and from 500 it went to 250 just by pinging the server they were gonna play in an hour. Can someone else test it as well?

Don't do that.
My server was getting nailed by your pings, I would block your IP before you knew what happened.

it's most likely due to time of day and not your pinging. ping the server 4 times every hour and look at the time change through out the day and day of the week.
pinging a server for an hour will not help at all. being later in the night say 6pm vs 10pm will make a HUGE difference.
