Revenge from banned RMTers would be the worst reasoning, I really don't know why people think that logic.

"Ah yes, lets get back at Square Enix by doing something that will piss off their consumers exclusively and that the company doesn't really need to care about since it'll just go away after some time! Oh, and these same consumers are our customers! Damaging the game and thus causing someone to potentially leave the game out of frustration and thus reducing our potential clientele is totally the best thing to do!"

RMTers have better things to do than to waste money hurting their own business.

The real reason is almost certainly just DDoS companies advertising their services. "We took down a game from a AAA game studio in charge of one of the biggest MMOs on the market!" is a powerful headline to prospective buyers.
