Lately there seems to be more Disconnects in the game.... Lag... I"m talking about last 3-4 weeks..

This is the same time PGI warned everyone about 3rd party hacks and to STOP using them... on Main accounts or ALt accounts (since all will be banned)...

I"m wondering if PGI can secretly or discreetly check into a full 12 man vs 12 man game (hence.. PGI is the 25th man) and Spectate anyone or anything... ala the Spectator mode... and thus maybe is why we are getting the Disconnects or Lag or latency issues...

Yes I understand that alot of the issues lately had to deal with Europe or other Countries... but it makes me wonder if PGI has been looking at the meta data and stats.. and decided to actually RECORD and watch the cheaters.. just as Russ Tweeted today.

What are your thoughts on this?

I would have bet on voip but anything is possible.

I do know that PGI Employees will play with the General Public.. and have Banned people who are abusive,ect... But now I wonder if they are watching us secretly now..

FYI... I"m glad PGI has finally Banned people for cheating (took only 2.5 years) and I am not complaining about this or the Disconnects... I"m just wondering if the hidden Spectator mode is really happening or connected to the Disconnects...

I doubt it. I mean, you would increase the load on the server... but inevitably the "25th person" is unlikely to make things worse unless there is a serious bandwidth situation.

Remember, the thing is used for other purposes like match watching for that new league... so it's probably likely to have a higher than 24-user cap (at least enough for like 32 or at least ~28-30 or so I'd imagine).

I sure hope PGI did not watch me do 20 damage in that Direwhale game.

They warned about network shenanigans recently:

Not sure how far back this stretches though.

It's odd - I think stability varies from patch to patch. The last month, I've had no disconnects or crashes at all. Sometimes, after a patch, it's like Russian roulette.

This seems like something I'll need...
