1) I dont believe bungie is "sweeping it under the rug" as you say. They may be ineffective at dealing with it but I dont think they are hiding anything. 2) this issue affects a very small amount of players. In my belief maybe 1% of the population has ever experienced a real DDOS but I have no proof of this and will not attempt to convince anyone else this is true. I will say I believe I experienced it once when trials of osiris first launched in D1 I know this because the internet in my house went out for about 5 minutes. However bungie took action in D1 and banned many people pretty much fixing the problem. 3) true DDOS attacks are cyber terrorism and should be treated as such. It's something that affects more than just gaming.
