Why do people DDoS a game?

[KalinOrthos]

I wasn't actually accusing Blizzard of it, I just said it wouldn't surprise me... but seriously, not their M.O.? Blizzard has done tons of underhanded shit in the past. Paying for or even just encouraging a DDoS attack would definitely be something they're capable of.

Insinuating underhanded business tactics = capable of cybercrime.

Yup. Stay classy, forums.

Many corporations have done far, far worse.

I assumed it was people mad about the server move. It seems like it's only NA having problems, if they didn't like the game or wanted notoriety I would think they'd go after all the servers, not just ours.

Although I suppose it could just be that our new servers aren't good.

Some groups actually threaten to DDoS and demand money to NOT do so.

[Alien_Gamer]

Why? Because they're trolls that want attention and game forums are an easy mark for getting people riled up. All this raging about DDoS is exactly what they want and it encourages them to do it more. They'll keep doing it until they get bored or people stop giving them what they want.

All I can say is. HANG IN THERE Devs! Most especially the server team!
I totally understand how frustrating this is for everyone involved, not just players.

Some jerk somewhere just has to ruin stuff for everyone else just to get his jollies. That person/people deserves to rot on a pike.

Was about to write a long and unpleasant post about the game being unplayable all week. But since it's already a known issue there is no point. Anyways, was looking forward to logging in and have to play <...> instead until it gets fixed.
