Empty Lobby Runs
I've recently found out a way where you can load into any map and basically have a completely empty lobby except for you, your crew, and eventually rooks (sometimes). Now I don't know the full scope of how it works or what all goes into it. But what I do know is that the leader needs to have a VPN that they can use and they change their matchmaking priority setting so Connection Quality and the other 2 players change to First Available. The host then changes the VPN to somewhere that has relatively high latency (~100+. ie from East Coast to England) and restart their game. When you are loading into the match if it takes longer than 3 minutes then you are in the lobby alone and can run keys and some map events. As far as I know, wardens and lockdown event do not spawn, but all other events can. This allows players to do all the map events they can and even run keys without any risk, other than the occasional rook (I maybe see 1 once every 3-4 runs). This really defeats the purpose of the game and ruins the fun.

Hi there,
Thanks for reporting this. Would you be able to reproduce the issue and capture a video of it so we can investigate? Please upload your video to a public hosting platform like YouTube or Imgur and share a link here.
Thanks!
Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce it as I do not have a VPN nor am I associated with the people that would do them anymore. If there is any other way I can help, please let me know.
