"DDOS" for MONTHS on end with no resolution UNACCEPTABLE

[Kiyumi]

While there's no reason to get dramatic about every little thing, this problem has gone on too long and too hugely.

SE isn't some indie company without options - it's a massive corporation of sufficient size and weight to make any network deals they want and afford any infrastructure that can be done. They don't make less money from FF14 than the MMO's who do manage to shut this sort of thing down way better, they make far, far more.

Being DDoS'd because of some mistakes can happen. But this long? This persistently? Sorry, but they're doing something wrong. You can fix it with the cloud, with clever deals, with active teams reaching out, with stronger infrastructural failsaves, there's many routes, and you can combine them.

But very clearly, they're not doing enough. They have no reason to be doing worse at this than everyone else is, yet they are. It's a failure on their end, and at this point they owe us an apology, an explanation and a solution.

Please stop defending the corporation making hundreds of millions from this game, they don't need your defense, they need to understand they can't allow this to keep happening.

(honestly, same for the VISA issue. Sure, it was a third party, but who struck that deal? Who struck that deal without making sure they have clauses and fallback options for the transition? SE is not being professional about this right now, at all.)

The government can barely make isps move and you think a relatively small company (in the grand scheme of things) can do anything?

People commenting on concepts they have no understanding about while simultaneously making it seem like the solutions that easy is peak XIV forums.
