Is Square Enix DDoSing themselves or what ?

I don´t care who is doing that. Fact is the protection for this Servers is bad period. You can tell me that this is normal its 4 months now...
But once again nothing will change be cause enough people will defend everything in this game even 4 months DDoS issues. This game starts finally starts to look like an indie game.
Wait no forget this Indie devs try to listen too the customers and fix their stuff.

It's easy to dunk against SE, especially given how unhappy people are regarding Dawntrail. However, DDoS attacks are fairly common. It's to be expected with a game this large and popular to be targeted often. There's also no way to completely stop these attacks. The most they can do is reduce the impact.

that changes nothing with what I've said
as someone in IT, then you would know how common the attacks can be and that there is very little that can be done to prevent them, only mitigate

regarding other games, I wouldn't know, FFXIV is the only MMO I've played in recent years outside of the handful of times I pop into GW2 to do WvW
otherwise I play singleplayer RPGs

I wouldn't have that knowledge nor do I have the interest in arguing about the subject
It isn't surprising that a big game gets DDoS'd
