Okay, look guys. I just got the latest list of copes from the Official Final Fantasy XIV Community, and you MUST agree.
1) This is not a DDoS, this is actually because American nodes are down but not Japanese. You see, Japan is this wonderful place where everything is perfect, so naturally they deserve a working game but we don’t. WoW is American so if you have a problem with other cultures, go play that.
2) This is a terrorist attack made by other countries in a specific part of the developing world in retaliation for anti-piracy changes. The Axis of Evil hates us because we are free. This anti-freedom terrorism is unjustified and cruel, and it is not SE’s fault. (Insert racist dog whistles here)
3) Every single other website and game has DDoS. WoW had this issue that one time ten years ago. So did Club Penguin and Neopets. Literally every website has this issue, it’s just normal and you need to learn to touch grass and go play other games.

In fact, to show support for the developers, I’m going to preorder Dawntrail another ten times just so Yoshi-sama can feel appreciated. It’s so cruel what these terrorists are doing to us, SE is just a small indie company and I’m sure they’re doing everything they can. After all, SE has great netcode and website infrastructure, right?
