Me and my friend (JakeCanine & Hardrive06) were playing Age 3 tonight with 2 other people (Chalo_1 & and some other guy).  When me and my friend started to beat their defense and start moving into their base i was all the sudden booted to the Main Menu.  Now, i was logged on to both Teamspeak and MSN Butterfly, which never lost their connection.  Also, my name never popped up in the lag screen according to my friend.  So i don't believe it was my internet connection.  Here's the shady part.  about 10 seconds after i was booted out of the game, my buddy Hardrive06 told me over teamspeak that Chalo_1 (our opponet) had said "I kicked him so it would be more even."  Now, was this guy just saying that for the fun of it?  Or is there some kind of glitch/hack/cheat that makes it possible to remove people from the game?  If there is, remember the name Chalo_1.  I reported him, but maybe he just said that for the hell of it and i just lost my connection to ESO, idk.  What do you guys think?

he might of possibly found out how to boot u out as coincidence of him saying that u will be booted; and u suddenly getting kicked out is highly unlikely...

You prolly lost your connection.

You must've seen this message:

 

 

That means that the game had a bug and you we're kicked; but don't worry, you haven't lost anytyhing (the game wasnt' even rated)

In Out of sync, all players are kicked out of the game, not just one. I thought out of sync meant only that person gets kicked out, but when i played with my friend, and is OOS, i IMed him via instant messenger and he said he got the same message.

 

Not sure why the other guy would want to say "i kicked him to even the teams up a bit" though...
 

I highly doubt it was some sort of personal hack that booted you, it is more likely that you simply lost connection to the game. 

The oddest thing about your story is that you claim to have been kicked back to the "main menu", that will not happen if you loose connection.   Did you get an OOS?

OOS most often effect the whole game, but I have seen cases where a single player looses sync with the game and gets booted.   

I read somewhere that people were able to make other players drop by finding their ips and setting their firewall to block that ip thus causing the player being blocked to drop but having looked on xfire and seen that all the servers that you connect to seem to be in america I figure that wouldnt be possible as we must all be sending and recieving data to the same main server not every player in the game is this correct or is it possible for people to cause opponents to drop this way?
