    At least you're not doing pvp/arena. People actually DDOS other players to win arena matches cause it's a serious game to them, and they don't care that what they're doing is a crime. There's a story that actually happened years back during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. This player wanted the Rank 1 spot but couldn't do it because the player he couldn't beat was a priest player called Hydra. Each arena season is about 4-6 months (2 major patches worth until the next season), and I believe this guy was Rank 2. If you were Rank 1, you got a special title that you get to keep forever and at that time it was "Wrathful Gladiator". Anyone who wasn't Rank 1, just got Gladiator and only kept it for an arena season before it disappeared.

    Anyway, this guy somehow, managed to find Hydra's personal information. Home address, phone numbers, and most importantly his passport. So he e-mailed Blizzard, impersonating Hydra, saying he lost his account information, and sent a picture of Hydra's passport to Blizzard and they bought it. So they gave him his account and password, he logged into it, and deleted his character. In doing so, Hydra lost the Rank 1 spot as well as his teammates, and this guy would be put on Rank 1 instead. All of this for a permanent title in-game. Eventually Hydra managed to contact Blizzard, found out who it was, the guy was permanently banned, Hydra was given his character/title back, and then I heard it went into lawsuits cause of EU laws of identity theft.

    Anyway, shit like this happens regularly on WoW (not to the identity theft) with the DDOS.
