Do Something SE

[Hanzz96]

The ddos's have been happening for going on two months now. I already sent in a ticket to support demanding a refund of my subscription and time compensation for their issues. They said it was a <me> issue and couldn't help me with it. Still a ticket has to mean something especially if it's a complaint. I hope SE takes note of it and to everyone else I say unsubscribe and vote with your wallet. These devs only see us as meal tickets. We don't matter and these devs especially yoshi p can go shove it.

I just sent a support ticket and they told me it was a problem with mu security settings and ISP. They also told me to get lost because I have an EU account but ahh all Australian accounts are classed as EU accounts because OCE isn't a real region apparently.

This is an absoutle disgusting joke.

If you are aussie, then, it is my understanding from other friends that are as well, your consumer protections are greater than those we have in the US and even Canada. Meaning, you might actually have more leverage to put on SE than we do. (I don't know how it all works I just know your government is much stricter with access to product/assuring you get the quality paid for than uhh here.) And yes, having your accounts classified as EU is also beyond painful. I'm not saying you should go out of your way to waste time on any of this, but you do have more tools than we do.

It does, truely suck though. However, materia is at least stable as I've been on and off of it...EU too (the aussie friends have me playing all sorts of places) NA is on fire most times i try to do things on it lately.

I can not think of a situation where a person would be justified in (or be able to justify) DDOSing a game for multiple straight years across several expansions, it is 100% server infrastructure issues and I'm willing to put money on that.

Normally I would agree, but we're also talking about XIV, this game seemingly attracts unhinged people.
We've heard about stalkers going after people for years. So I wouldn't entirely rule out that someone with a psychotic fixation that the game or someone in the game has "wronged" them to keep DDoS attacks going for just as long, it's not exactly difficult to do.

I was just in a frontline where a mass dc happened. Adders seemed to surive in enough numbers but Maelstrom and Flames went down. I was able to get back in before final people logged from match to see score. When DC happened teams were like 500-600-700 respectively give or take. So not even, but not a blowout. When i returned it was 550-750ish (i think) and 1400 Adders. Like, sure possible they just ran away with it, but more likely they just had the more favorable numbers post mass dc. So...that's fun.

Strangely enough, I had two games as well yesterday where a mass DC happened (Primal) and each time it was always the Adders that ended up winning by the time I got back in.

I'm sure its just coincidence, but its still amusing that when the game was determining who got to return to the game first (and got to scoop up nodes uncontested I assume), it was always the Adders in my case.

EU keeps winning

NTT is a horrible provider but they will never part with them because they are Japanese owned.
When this happens during savage I can see it causing most of the hard-core players to quit. The game in NA will die.

Hate it break it to you, but the "hardcore" players in this game are a minute % of the playerbase. They could leave and the game would still keep right on going.

Honestly I thought people were exaggerating when they talked about how bad this entire issue was. I just started playing again after a year and a half break, and it's kind of unbelievable that they haven't bothered to do anything about this.

Whether or not it's DDoS or just the servers sucking, it's way past time for them to figure something out. Much as I've been enjoying playing again, it's kinda hard to justify paying for a game that doesn't care enough to fix its server issues, or try and fight against the DDoSing. Whichever one it is, this is embarrassing, frankly.

And lest we forget - FF XIV still holds the record for insane...lest we forget "the billboard" incident.
