The recent DDoS attack on FFXIV servers.

Yeah most of these groups answers are total bs in that they do it so companies improve their servers. It is more in the lines of I am going to screw over all those gamers just so i can fill my needs of making people upset.
A special place exists for these people..

Yikes that's really bad.

Like.....who's benefiting from doing this attack?

"Oh hey look I stopped people from playing a video game....yay me".....

While I'm no expert I believe DDOS attacks can also be used to gain access to servers in order to steal information. Like what happened to Sony some years back.

A sub division in the eighth circle of hell reserved for script kitties and hackers where there is never any wifi.

Chaos datacenter is DDOS every evening, players who are training sadics cant play properly if they cant play during day light... It's very annoying, and SE seems to do nothing...

They gotta fix the ongoing issues with Chaos before it's too late.Tho by that point I'd migrate to a server from a different data center

At this point I hope SE just turns around and makes a statement they will be taking to real life countermeasures directly on the culprit. Whomever the person is, needs to learn that actions, be it in real life on the internet should have repercussions.

DDOS started the first october, are they waiting to loose all their players ?! Each week DDOS attacks are worst than before, now its every day...

I know it's probably something that's out of SE's hands but it's really starting to piss me off > I just want to play >.<

The best course of action currently is to keep bringing up the issue to Square on their social media accounts and forums until they listen.

And SE better listens before things get to the point where they'd lose players there.

Sorry that this keeps happening to you guys.

Unfortunately there is only so much that SE can do. Especially if the SE servers themselves aren't the ones being targeted, or even if they are only intermittently being targeted. The moment the attacks are focused on the ISP routes leading into the Datacenters there is absolutely nothing SE can do. Which seeing as this last month SE isn't the only ones to have been attacked, even Youtube was taken down by the DDOS attacks, there is nothing can be done until the culprits are found. It's only a matter of time before they hit someone they shouldn't and the pain is returned 100 fold.
