Nah. It's directly related to player count. It's the servers & engine.

That definitely plays a part, but if a player doesn't have a computer that's up to spec, they'll have a bad time no matter what.

Sure but that's a very generalized statement for any game and clearly not what I was getting at. Standing in one location and having FPS fluctuations of up to 50 FPS based on server load is definitely not a PC spec issue.
