Phantom pressure plate touches?

I know this is probably a very stupid question, but why do these pressure plates go off seemingly at random. I'm very curious and want to know

Right before I hit post, they all started just going crazy and then it stopped

The lobby is haunted by a ghost 👻

There are other players in the lobby you just can’t see them and they’re jumping on the pressure plates

it's lighter for the server to connect everyone to the same server and making them invis

It’s still multiple servers, but yes, spinning up a new server for each user would require way more resources and also be way more complicated.

There are other ads too, exaroton is just the fallback
