Getting kicked out of Frontline by the server for using "Overwhelm" ability?

It's likely due to having an unstable ping with the server. A ping stabilizer program might help.

The only times I've gotten 90ked were when my internet connection was a bit wonky and during those times whenever I went on a mount I got DC'ed.

This is what I've noticed, as well.

I think it's because they are trying to prevent people who are teleport hacking from playing and in some instances the mount/dismount (and on some level, Overwhelm) with a bad connection can simulate the behavior that the hackers have.

That's an interesting thought. And it certainly makes some level of sense.

I did some research on ping stabilization due to this thread and stumbled upon this:

In short, Windows Vista and Windows 7, and probably 8 and 10, have a feature which throttles bandwidth use for non multimedia applications, limiting them to, by default, 10 packets per millisecond. According to the post I linked, it also supposedly lowers your connection speeds in order to ease the stress on some of your hardware. However, this is the only mention I found of this particular effect of the feature, so I'm a little skeptical.

In any case, could this potentially be the root of our problems? If it were throttling our packets to and from FFXIV, then I believe it could cause artificial ping discrepancy, which could result in some lag and a disconnect.

It's not a 90k issue. there's no error at all. the game just kick me out to the title screen without any error message. I can re-log back in immediately and my character wasn't stuck in the game so it's not a disconnection. it's just the server's decision to remove me for some reason (most likely it thinks that I'm cheating, as I explained in the OP).
