ddos is a common problem and everyone who runs a server is a potential victim. There's no more good reason to ddos than to hack or spam yet it's rampant online.

It's not the hackers, a good example of current Ddos activity is between the hosts of DayZ origins and DayZ Breaking point.
Origins creator is now attacking the Breaking point mod servers just because they were becoming too popular.

Popular servers are always good targets for a DDOS.

The main reason of DDos is to stop someones service's from working automaticly resulting in players coming towards you.
