Its almost been a week since the initial announcement on the 4th about DDoS attacks with no follow up of recovery. We've been experiencing DDoS attacks like this since 6.58. I think its about time that SE gives us some compensation for this since they will not take action (as far as we as players can see). I don't think its unreasonable to want for some manner of compensation at this point. This has gone on far too long. This feels bizarre that we're paying for a game that doesn't function as it should while they are using several "break glass in case of emergency" tactics due to the drop in player base. If FFXIV is SE's cash cow, they're really doing a terrible job of making sure an entire region of players can still access their game while paying that 15+ dollars a month. I've said before that if this was affecting the JPN data centers, something would be done and it would be properly addressed and unfortunately that hypothesis is seeming more and more true as time goes on. This is the most "I'm not mad, just disappointed" I've felt with this game.

I understand the option of "just play other games", but I have to wonder what their strategy is here when they made it very clear that their hemorrhaging money. Much to think about at the very least.
