Server instability isn't a fault--it's a feature! (sarcasm)

At least the silver-lining of all the server issues is that it makes it incredibly hard for all those un-manned robots to stay online all the time!

Well, if only it was a server issue. But its not.

But ya'll keep thinking it is, I think I'm done trying to convince otherwise.

I just got kicked and renewed my sub today too...now I regret it.

They love RNG so much that they wanted to implement it into our server connections. That's why some are connecting to the servers and playing just fine while others are struggling just to load their inventory.

I was just making a joke. I'm not educated enough on the subject to know the truth, nor have I read any of your posts explaining it, lol. But if I had to guess. It's something about the internet high-way, right?

I think it's time to take my money to another company that appreciates it and is actually willing to take action when situations like these arise. Apologizing for inconvenience and hoping to see us online (lol) does nothing obviously, this has been going on for WEEKS now.

Doesn't matter what type of problem it is since it involves only SE as the target which means we are the collateral damage.

Really, only 2 ways it stops.

1. the authorities track down the culprit(s) and shut'em down.

2. the script kiddies doing it get bored and stop.

But sure, take your money elsewhere, and elsewhere again, and again, and again, because ddos attacks happen all over and it isn't the fault of the one being attacked.

SE isn't the target. They aren't targeting the servers, they're targeting the paths to get to the servers.

To expand upon this, I'd welcome anyone who is upset with what's happening right now to take a look at this site:

That's what's happening right now. There are mass world wide DDOS attacks on various parts of the internet's infrastructure right now and SE has absolutely no control over it. Yes, their servers often aren't the best and there's a lot we can and should criticize them for. But this isn't one of those instances. They can do /nothing/.
