Just had an interesting JQ match where i saw we definately had 4bots running in our team, then lo and behold 6 players disconnect at exactly the same moment. They reconnected 1min later only to disconnect again 2mins after that. These disconnect were all exactly at the same time. My question is have i just encountered a bot farm that had connection issues or is this some really random dc? I had no spike or problems though the match neither did the other non disconnecter. oh all 6 of the names were gibberish too(i.e. hfhihe eube) although i do know a few people have used that just coz they can't think of a name.

I know this'll get locked as well i just wondered about the chances is all.

I think it would be impossible to discount it being a 'bot farm' as you say. It's likely they're all running on the same PC or network at least, hence the synchronous errors.

Your case does seem like a bot party, but I've seen people getting disconnected at the same time before. While doing the Battle for LA 4 out of 6 members of my party got disconnected at the same time. Me (South Korea) and the monk who lived in Mexico had no problems whatsoever. All the other guys were from Europe, and there was some major issue with the Europan networking at the time or something.

As above, they may have all been from the same general area and/or their network route took them through the same bad router.

More than likely.
