DDoS Attacks Confirmed

[Poisonous]

lol @ all the geniuses just assuming they're lying about it. It's not impossible, but neither is a ddos attack--happens all the time, and it being a ddos attack explains a lot.

Both lodestone and mog station needing emergency maintenance?
Instance servers crashing despite SE bottlenecking them? How do you think that happens?
Literally every type of server involved in the game having issues
EU being so congested it needed 2 extra servers, yet NA's got the same queue times afterwards and we're still having way more issues than JP or EU
This being confirmed as the servers are taken down, giving SE the ability to see that access attempts are still being thrown at it despite no logins

etc
etc
etc

Hey, geniuses who are saying "HM well they didn't say it before so gosh clearly somehow that makes it a lie?"

Do YOU have any understanding of how one confirms a ddos attack as opposed to just congestion?

No, guessing not.

People need to step back and realize the limitations of their knowledge instead of rushing to sound smart on a forum.
