“DDOS attacks” for the past 2 months is starting to become a lame excuse from blizzard. Getting kicked from the game daily is beyond frustrating. Is there any future resolution in place? Is it truly DDOS or simply volume of players logging into the same servers? Why is there not a reasonable offering to move servers to actually be able to play the game? The burden should not be on the player to fund the transfers. Offer a one time transfer of every toon on the major impacted servers and end this garbage “DDOS attack” excuse. There are plenty of low population servers that could house all of these accounts currently smashed onto a handful of servers. No shot they give credit for played time even though we experience daily login issues, so allowing transfers is a reasonable solution.
Do you honestly believe it’s their fault for someone conducting a felony against their servers and those affected?
Do you even Law bro?
Also my eyes hurt from reading that. And I have no eyes.
But are they truly doing everything they can to mitigate the known issue? Why do only the larger population servers effected? It is harder to DDOS more open servers right? Why not spread people around and reduce the threat to those servers?
I’m sure they are, but it has been proven time and time again that there is no perfect defense for a DDoS attack.
Not only that:
It remain completely none of our business what they do to conduct rigorous cybersecurity procedures. Imagine the damage done to WoW if we knew what their TTPs are. GTS.
When these happen they are happening on all servers in all game modes. Changing servers won’t have any effect. I get disconnected at least hourly in Classic Era on a dead server.
Someone who seemed to be familiar with server technology at one point said that the type of failures we see now suggest changes to the game server system to save money. I view it as the game now being less resistant to DDOS, other sorts of attacks, and also what should be normal fluctuations.
you know what is annoying, ddosers don’t seem to attack any of the other games/mmos i play, it’s just wow. what’s the point anyways, i don’t get it.
Parts of the game are unplayable. I’ve already done my 8, in fact I had them done yesterday.
