Sad to hear that.... would be really nice to see if Players are on the Server and in which State. Is there a way to Request it from the Master Server? (don't think so and also would be a ugly hack)

Theoretically, yes it is possible. The problem is that the protocol which the master servers uses to communicate with the gameservers and the game clients is binary based and it is likely that it will change with every update. Also there is the possibility that they will encrypt traffic in the future to make cheating harder (if it is needed, at least thats what all AAA titles do nowadays). So it would be a waste of time to try to reverse engineer the protocol, I rather wait for an official way of monitoring gameservers.
