Modded controllers are possible but not exactly common. Keyboard and mouse players are extremely uncommon, the most frequent kb/m players are actually tank users as it lets them control more nicely, you lose the advantage of aim assist with kb/m.
Anyone complaining about these three things is usually compensating with dunning-kruger tier excuses.
Boosting however is a very real thing, and while not exactly common is pretty easy to identify. There'll be players on opposite teams with >6000wp (usually earned from some exploited mechanic) and usually no kills or deaths (until they drop ob's), the rest of the players in the game are often down at ~2000wp. Don't be too quick to call boosting though as a good logi can earn insane amounts of wp through triage, revives and team spawns - some if my highest wp games as a logi I've gone 0-5 with 6k wp,(certainly take a picture and report them if you're suspicious ccp will examine their in game actions to determine what they've been doing.) the real boosting is done inside hour+ long PC matches consisting of a single team :P
How would that work? I mean WP can only be generated if there is an opponent right?
Please help me on my quest to get the Recruiter C-II Dropsuit!

A lag switch is really ambiguous... in essence you limit your bandwidth by such a margin that not all data can be send in a timely manner.
Depending on the game's netcode (who's host, how is lag compensation handled) you might get an actual advantage.

Gotcha.... sheesh I wanna do that :P
that 4x booster would be worth it.
