...nor is there any evidence that a certain happening in the game was caused by such.
People tend to make all sorts of accusations which are hardly based on evidence - not even empirical ones.
it was confirmed by community manager in other post
So are these 'community managers' on the Cryptic payroll?
No offense to hard and honest working managers, but the way I've seen some of them in these forums over the years, they're mostly just as clueless as you or I in these matters.
Besides, if you already have such conviction in what caused these problems and its results, what's the whole frickin' point of this post? To get more people riled up?
The Community Manager (Andy, aka StrumSlinger) is a PWE employee. The Community Moderators (myself, Zebular, Ambi, and Ironzerg) are unpaid volunteers and not in any way employees of PWE or Cryptic. Does that answer your question? At least one of them?

this is unacceptable, what kind of game lets this happens, this is so disrespectfull to the game player base, and u guys need to move ur lazy asses in the office and protect us from these things, this is a joke man.

Dear Devs, you got your own forum, can you post info on forum? Begging for scrap of info on twitter is not a good way to deal with this kind of problems. I'd like to know if you find permanent solution for this lag/rubberbanding or an attack or whatever it is? If no, I'm sure many players will support you if you will make whole day or more server maintenance if you fix all this issues permanently.

Most games suffer these kinds of attacks. It's just a matter of pissing off the wrong person. You've got to have a pretty selective memory to believe otherwise.
so how was the ddos affecting me as a player, please explain?
is this guy atleast demanding anything over the Ddos? would be awesome to see him demanding someth like class balance or anythin related to makin the game healthy again
He's not wanting to make the game better. Rumor has it he got pissed off that they closed an Exploit in a patch and decided to DDoS in protest over not being able to exploit the system for game monies.

If it happens again, I can link you guys the thread on the STO forums where Trendy keeps us updated on what's going on.
You might want to start doing something Cryptic, instead of posting servers have stabilized. You dont stabilize anything, its just the guy stopping his ddos.
Ban the whole subnet as it is probably some random kiddo working minimum wage at some Romanian icaffee abusing it's resources ? You aren't doing any sales there anyway
Please fix Zhentarim Warlock companion's skill "Arcane Warping" to the originally intended "Arcane Boost" zhentarim-warlock-companion
Lags, disconnects, freezes - today, yesterday, a day before. WTF is going on? The game is not playable anymore. Better start fixing it, before more players leave for good. No1 believes in DDoS fairy tales.
Same XBone script kiddie, still posting pictures of his character and guild, still announcing his paid-for attacks in advance to be sure he gets "credit".
rattler, i saw STO forum, wow, they close and lock the topics about DDoS. look like klingon military moderators like "fight club", that you cant talk about.
and i'm supposed to support this game with real money? hahahahaha

It's a *D*Dos, Wildfirede. There's not a single source. It's almost certainly a botnet of compromised machines that he's renting time on from competent criminals.
arc, when are you guys going to dump the pay to win stupidity and start to secure your server quality? short term profit = low server quality long term profit = no pay to win and server quality
It's been days and the latency issue is so bad that you can't do a thing in game. Not doing my for my confidence on the future of the game, especially a week before a huge update. This would be unacceptable at every other online company.
