I'm starting to get an idea where these guys are from ... *cough* Sony and Activision *cough*

Edit: I wasn't actually serious, jeez. I didn't mean to put Sony there, I just meant Activision, and I reckon we can all agree that CoD's main enemy is BF but seriously, I didn't mean anything.

Just curious what Sony's motive would be?

[pompombrum]

Yeah totally, because Activision BLIZZARD are really going to attack their own servers /s

Oh man the DDOS was awful. At one stage I moused over my gloves and the tooltip said "retrieving item information". In red. RED.

Thanks for ruining Christmas guys >:(

[MatrixxGT]

These guys must never get laid.

[Mrveryodd]

more assholes of the internet ..... i dont know why these idiots keep targeting gamers.

At the end of the day, what's the actual purpose of these attacks? Lonely? Can't afford/play it? Better security for their servers? Because you're behind some proxy that can be traced eventually? NOTHING is 100% hidden online. Once these people get caught they will claim some BS reason which will result in a slap on the wrist.

Granted I don't care for Battlefield 1, but that doesn't mean I want to ruin someone elses day. Live and let live. Too bad not everyone lives by it.

There's no logic to what they're doing, don't try to make sense out of it.

One group not so long ago basically said they were doing it to piss people off.

Eh, these guys just seem to revel in causing people to get upset. So far they haven't tried to take some moral high ground like Lizard Squad did....and failed.

They're just trolls who care more about people getting upset than doing any kind of real justice for the consumer....which I always found funny, because justice for the consumer doesn't usually involve pissing off the consumer you're trying to protect.

Thanks for giving them the attention they so desperately seek.
