From what I understand, it's a Spectrum node, right? Probably them.

If it was server-wise, *everyone* would be forced out of the world you're on, and that's not happening. People have literally tracked where this attack occurs, and it's not on Square Enix's end. Please, if you're going to complain about this, research what is actually happening here, so that your complaints go to the correct party.
you seem to misunderstand. You do see that SE themselves post they have problems with DDOs right ? doesn't matter if its their stuff directly or not, they have to care for it period. If they talk to company's responsible for it or do something themselves is none of our businesses. You can defend them all day if you want but even they themselves say they have issues... Please share the tracks of this people who can accurately track where what appears and is not 100% on SEs end. Even if its a problem with the node its SE who have to work out something with them in the end its their deal with whoever.
Besides THIS is the correct party for complains what the heck. since when its a customers businnes to chase what might be the issue of the guys who they are paying. In the end of day the result is stuff isnt working for which people pay hard earned money get this into your head. But feel free to share your stuff in here and show all of us where the problem is. I can tell you if 14 is the only thing have problems with SE posting like every second day they had problems, then its not on users side. So if its an attack to the nodes or the network provider or whatever the heck you think it is, it will still be a SE problem to solve. Its their service which they have to maintain.
In the end i dont care at all i dont play on NA / JP i have no issues i just hate it when people think they can come in here type its not SE problem even if it is. white knighting for them will bring you nowhere. Feel free to prove me wrong show me how SE prevents this how good their Load balancers working how everything is redundant and its clearly out of their hand. I mean i know they have rate limiter which is fine but whats with the rest how modern is this stuff. Do they have CDN ? Are the nodes protected ? who knows oh yeah the small indie company which have to deal with it. Is there any monitoring ? there are so many ways to prepare for stuff like that. share to us how all of that is set and SE talking and trying to solve it somehow with whoever if you know that so well.
It's not Spectrum. It's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT).
NTT is a Japanese telecommunications company, and it is why SE picked them, even in NA, to be their ISP for FFXIV.
Because its a Japanese company, SE will never hold them accountable for their trash service and garbage nodes, so they blame others instead.

If anyones going back to school for critical thinking, it is going to be you.
If it's not SE's problems, then they would not be "Implementing counter measures". If it were my problem, I would be having disconnecting, interuptions, and loss of service on the many other games I play. The fact is, I do not have those issues on any other game. The problem is Square Enixes, not mine. But do go on and defend a billion dollar company that has the resources to fix all the issues you self proclaimed "Experts" seem to know so much about. And when you disagree with me again, feel free to attack my free company and its members like you did last time.
They got upset one of my FC members was also using the forums so decided to openly tell everyone to look into my FC and its lodestone on a housing thread and my FC got some very kind messages from people who disagreed with me LOL. I have a very low opinion of them as a result, I had to swap my displayed character on the forums and I'm not surprised they're white knighting for Square Enix, and I wouldn't be surprised if it happened again.
