They are running some sort of program that does a user connect/disconnect, that keeps the player count up. Having run a server myself I could see tons of join/quit messages in my RCON logs – this exploit needs to be looked into by EA – it’s not just some random occurrence or BL vs GUI issue.

I have suspected something like this is going on for a while now. Maybe a little pressure needs to be put on EA for them to look into it and stop it. (Edit) Who am I kidding, they ain’t gonna do . lol

Thank you so much. For me it worked, for many but not all servers. BBL stopped development but it can still be downloaded. For Chrome users easy in the Chrome Plugin store and for Firefox users (me) this post has zhe link in it: [https://github.com/brainfoolong/better-battlelog/raw/master/versions/4.9.2/bblog-signed.xpi](https://github.com/brainfoolong/better-battlelog/raw/master/versions/4.9.2/bblog-signed.xpi)

Have a nice Day, keep shootin
