why does this game get DDoS so much?

[Kes13a]

I don't think ever seen one when playing Elder Scrolls Online, Guild War2, or Black Desert Online. Only MMO I constantly see them on is here on FFXIV.

it goes in phases really, I have seen it happen on every game I have played over the years.

depends on the setup and 14 is really... as I said, low hanging fruit.

there is a lot of reason and its all add into one, from...
- just nerds being nerds
- just because
- could be banned rmt yeah
- someone paid to do so
- could be from se self to attract attention
- its one of the most top mmo out there so naturally it become target
- there is also talk backthen because the spagheti code so the countermeasure is hard to do so (at least compare to other big mmo)

its all come down to "attention", there is reason why old mmo never get ddos anymore

If you're a big multiplayer game with servers you're going to get DDoS'd, bottom line
Everyone deals with it every day, sometimes it's worse than others

Happens to Blizzard as well:

Or to GW2:

I don't think there's a need to go on. Everything gets DDOS'd, not online MMORPGs. Check out this post by Cloudflare alone:

Gw2? From 2018? That's 6 years ago.
Comparing Gw2 servers, databases, tools, architecture, and network routes to xiv's is like comparing a Shark to a small fish.

I could have searched for newer cases, but seriously.. you could do it yourself. It doesn't influence my point one bit.

Take responsibility for your claims, you're the one trying to claim that Gw2 has these issues haha. As I explained, it literally is the one mmo that has virtually no ddos issues, officially.

Well I gave you an answer, I can rephrase it here: I could google "guild wars 2 ddos" and link 10 occurrences, or 20, but you could do that yourself easily.

Conclusion: You're a troll.

Would removing free accounts solve the issue?

It's just bad servers, SE lying like Elon Musk
