Why do people DDoS a game?

lol, why do you play FFXIV if all you do is complain. Seriously, look at your post history. You complain all the time.

If I complained like that, i wouldnt play it. Why play something you hate? It's honestly a serious question. If I hated a product that much i wouldn't involve myself in it.

Do something that makes you happy. Complaining on forums all the time will never make you happy.

Looking on the forums I see nothing but complaints. If it bothers you then stay off the forums and enjoy the game itself. More power to you eh?

That's because half the posts are yours

This doesn't feel like a DDOS attack. Feels like XIV Servers can't handle themselves. Insult to injury where they decided to move NA servers to the other side of the map at the same time as an expansion. Recipe for disaster if you ask me.

Thing is, they have been open and honest to us before in regards to when their servers were having issues, why lie now? Also to note that other major MMO's like Guild Wars 2 has been dealing with the same issue lately from what I have been told. I don't think they are targeting FFXIV in particular, but whatever is considered a major MMO title.

Or the networks that those MMOs use along with other companies/groups.

a DDOS is a criminal attack. They can't lie to consumers about that. Wouldn't there be fines?

Because they're sad little unemployed no-lifers with nothing meaningful to do with their lives.

Shh, threads like these is what they want. Attention.

[Nixxe]

To get a response because antagonizing others amuses them.

Obligatory at this point...

Kids who think it's funny or cool.

I vaguely remember reading something about kids basically being psychopaths up to a certain age due to their brains not being fully developed. Not sure if true or BS but it makes sense to me.
