We need more transparency about these "DDoS attacks"

No other online game I play has this problem. WoW doesn't, Elder Scrolls Online doesn't. Only SE.

"When the entire room tells you you're drunk, maybe its time to sit down."

Why is this the only paid subscription game that feels it is acceptable to give canned "there was an attack" responses for months to problems only they have without comping people for their loss of service?

We need a REAL update SE, not just more stating the obvious. If you have been looking for a solution for two months, why pray tell have you still not found one?

Usually when they say they are solving it on the lodestone, they mean the immediate attack, not from a long-term perspective.

They did make a post about the long-term issues at https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post6580765

If WoW isn't having this problem, then something drastically changed since I quit playing four years ago - when I was playing it got so bad sometimes that you couldn't stay logged in for more than a couple of minutes for an entire weekend and the only response you'd get would be a blue post hours after it started saying something is going on, we're working on it, steps are being taken. If you look at the history of the DDoS attacks, you'll see they've been picking up since DT dropped - I have a sneaking suspicion that the two are related.
