Like I said, learn to internet, actually learn how this stuff works. I think you need to learn to internet rather than just forum troll and defend CCP blindly. There are ways for them to prevent DDOS attacks on their servers, almost every online service has these problems and can fix them. Why would a dev post that they are working on this issue if it is unavoidable? They are simply not blocking these attacks fast enough and not taking their customers subscriptions seriously. I have been playing since 2010 and after 7+ weeks of disconnects everyday I likely wont be next month. From the other players I have talked to I doubt I'm the only one. There is no easy way to prevent DDOS attacks. If Blizzard can't defend against DDOS attacks what makes you think CCP can? I remember when Blizzard got DDOS'd and all of their servers in EU, Oceana and US were down all at the same time because of DDOS. You just can't do it easily especially since it seems to be a large scale attack. Also if you think you can do better, im sure CCP is more than willing to hire you for your skills! The thing is Blizzard will issue compensation for services they can't provide properly. They will also hire new employee's to solve the problems. I have never heard of any connectivity issues in wow or d3 that have persisted for 2 months like this has.
Meh. I'm new, so I'll plead ignorance and take the hit:
Blizzard *is* having similar problems right now. Not quite as regular as every day, but several times a week. Their forums contain similar sentiments. Wow and hearthstone have both been affected (that I know of personally) and I believe that it's been affecting their other titles as well.
LOTS of other gaming companies have been having similar issues recently. DDoS is the new black. (Which is funny, because this is really soooooo 15 years ago, but whatever, get off my lawn.)
DDoS attacks aren't easy to solve. Truly effective solutions are very expensive. Expensive solutions wreck business models. |
