The recent DDoS attack on FFXIV servers.

[Sigma-Astra]

Nah, if they really cared they'd be taking action against their crappy data center for not protecting themselves better. I've played plenty of other MMOs that had to deal with DDoS attacks, and guess what, none of them lasted for WEEKS. Things were usually fixed up and stable within a couple days at most.

....What fantasy world are you living in where you think people creating several internet proxies and having them continuously sending massive packets of misinformation to delay and bog down the server has anything remotely 100% failsafe in protecting against it? You can't protect against it and the only thing you could do is have several back-up servers to continue running and hope those don't get DDoS attacked too.

There's no simple solution besides grinning and bearing with it like everyone else does.

What's going on is SE doesn't appreciate us as customers, so we should take our money elsewhere.

Well, feel free to join the other MMO's where this happens still because you'll never escape it, even places like PSN and Xbox Live get hit with DDoS, Google and Amazon.com as well.
