Another Day of DDOS

[Ranto]

I understand fully that it takes time for infrastructure, but man the server has been literally unplayable for 20 of 24 hours the last two days. Please. Do. Something.

I'm not going to continue to waste 40 full minutes to re-do the first 10 quests every two hours. It's a huge waste of time.

im out of it. but came back if it stable, if blizzard do a bad classic +, i cant imagine that will be better at the weekend i dont waste my time in the login screen.

If the ddos attacks are mostly to the login endpoint
(which it makes sense, since the password is hashed heavily and even the check is computationally intensive)
A captcha to the login could mitigate this issue:

username: player
password: 54321

What is 3 minus 1?

captcha: 2

If that screen is impossible to edit, we could suffix our login name (or password) with the captcha:
e.g.:
captcha: what is 3 minus 1

username: player2
password: 54321

OR
username: player
password: 543212
