WoW Hardcore Guild OnlyFangs Disbands After Devastating DDoS Attacks
Popular WoW Hardcore guild OnlyFangs, led by SodaPoppin, disbands due to repeated DDoS attacks. With permadeath wiping out countless hours of progress, the WoW community demands Blizzard take stronger action against these disruptions.
Imagine building an empire from scratch, spending “more than a life-times worth of hours” in a guild composed of hardcore and popular WoW streamers. Only for it to crumble around you due to recurring DDos attacks.
What do you do in this situation? Well, guild leader - SodaPoppin made the decision for you. OnlyFangs has now been disbanded due to DDos sabotage. Many players died unfairly due to disconnecting during boss encounters via DDos attacks and in WoW Hardcore, death does not mean a new beginning. It means the end. Let’s get into it
The Value OnlyFangs Held
OnlyFangs generated millions of views, the intense drama, battles along with multiple controversies brought an entire community together while shooting many streamers to fame as well. Thousands of fans joined to witness their favorite streamers survive Azeroth. Only for them to lose against DDos attacks, which no amount of strats could beat. Which leads us to another pressing issue. “When will Blizzard step up?”
Call For Action
The WoW Hardcore community has voiced their growing frustration over these attacks, calling upon Blizzard to have stronger protection against DDoS threats. The situation highlights a major issue that, if Blizzard cannot ensure server stability- does Hardcore mode’s permadeath give any security to players? If all it takes for a player to lose hours of effort, time and energy is a DDos attack, then what can be done to help innocent players?
Alternative Actions
- Protect against DDos Attacks better
- Reverse deaths due to DDos Attacks
If Blizzard does not take such calls for action seriously, they risk losing their players' trust in them, which may already be occurring according to community response. What do you think about this issue? Should Blizzard strengthen its defences against DDos Attacks or provide an alternative solution?
