What happened over the weekend was most definitely a DDOS but I don't think it was directed at the FFXIV servers. If it had been an issue with the game servers (whether DDOS or hardware/software failure), everyone in my party doing a story run of Eden for first timers would have been getting disconnected instead of just half the party (and consistently the same half). I never got disconnected or experienced any latency issues myself yet others were getting booted frequently.

If it's not the SE servers being specifically targeted, they can't do anything other than notify the companies that operate the internet infrastructure that SE customers are being affected.
