lol terrorists. Big and strong words for script kiddies in 3rd world countries doing this for the lulz.
But I guess everyone is a terrorist now. HC wow guild dying terrorized me deep to my core, I must now join an extremist group to fight back!

You are openly saying you want thousands DDoSād because one guild has a vanity streaming projectā¦ thatās REALITY.
They can raid all they wantā¦ just donāt tell all the DDoSers when and where theyāre doing it and live streamingā¦ thereās this thing in the REAL WORLD to STOP TERRORISTS and itās called āOPSECā. OnlyFangs needs to practice that if they want to raid, otherwise, itās OnlyFangs thatās encouraging terrorists to keep YOU AND ME from playingā¦ wake up. Itās their vanity to stream that makes us suffer, you encourage that behavior? They can raid all they want, keep it between themselves and post it later if they must show the world their raidā¦ thatās OPSECā¦ loose lips sink shipsā¦ you seem to cheer for the Axis powers.

Definitely, the lowest rung of society would NEVER exploit any and all possible perceived weaknesses in the system for an unfair advantage. Donāt mind that mythic gallywix went down to hackers twice nope weāre all on the up and up over here.

Great. So if the streamers come back together does that mean we get ddos more? Lol
How quickly can a DDOS go from āstart it upā to actually seeing effects in the game? Iād have thought that if an encounter starts going badly, people would die too quickly for a paid attack to start disrupting a server. Then the attempted death-dodgers would be out of luck because their death timestamps would be too early for rollback consideration.
who, or what, is an āOnlyFangsā?
Is this some twitch or youtube persona?
edit: Ok, Iām guessing itās a streamer on twitch based on other posts

As a customer retention strategy itās a good angle. I have no interest in hardcore but I imagine itās really frustrating to lose your entire character because someone else is being a jerk and crashing the servers

So the lesson here is to play Hardcore when Blizzardās pet streamers are playing. That way if you die while they are streaming, you might be able to get a roll back along with them.

And other things we tell ourselves to reject events that have already happened because it is inconvenient for our psyche if they did. As though this entire debacle didnāt start over someone committing a federal offense over World of Warcraft.

Someone living in a country with no extradition treaty with the United States DDOSād the Blizzard servers.
Guess where the population of Only Fangs live?
someone would pay 100ās of thousands, if not millions, of US dollars to DDoS WoW for a classic guild to play a raid?
idk what a botnet charges to DDoS a video game co. like Blizzard, but Iām sure itās not cheap and considering the legal ramifications, why a botnet would even take a job like DDoSing a WoW classic server so guild can play the raid and win it first.
It wouldnāt be MS/Blizz going after them, it would be the US government. Thats an international crime.
A good move. HC Classic is the only thing keeping Wow streaming relevant
interesting precedent. now they kinda have to do it at every ddos.
weird.
