I kind of suspected this sort of thing has been going on. But I think SE isn't admitting the full length of time this has been going on. You can check back and see several threads of people complaining about getting dropped from instances. Even groups of people doing coil struggling because they keep having half there people drop. I know there's been something unusual going on for a couple months at least. I have a handful of people in my FC that started having strange issues with the game. Getting dropped, lagging/rubber-banding. They've all spent a lot of time and effort to try resolving it on their end to no avail. They even tried WTFast, just out of desperation. This felt so much like that DDoS attack that hit FFXI years and years ago. It just started out small and got bigger and bigger until finally it gets to this point. GL getting it resolved SE, we know you'll get it done. You've been down this road b4, so has just about every successful MMO.
