The recent DDoS attack on FFXIV servers.

My suggestion is they temporary stop the deleveling in eureka, stop the drop out penalty for duties, and make it so don't loose your crafting mats when you get disconnected. Till these attacks stop.

You can't just "temporarily" stop things already coded into the game because you're being inconvenienced, that's not how game design and coding works. You can't just "shut off" a certain part of the coding without causing a domino/snowball effect for everything else.

And in the case of DDoS, it's not worth re-working an entire stream of data and not even a good idea to be messing with the game like that while a DDoS is going on. They could open themselves to a security vulnerability.
