There's something that's just...well, for lack of a better word, special, about being the on the same playing field as everyone else, but working under a completely different set of rules and deciding for yourself how the game is scored.
The best example I can give is how my brother used to grief Counterstrike on TK-enabled servers - he didn't do this by killing his own teammates, or by cheating against the other team. Rather, he would lure his teammates into killing him often enough that they got auto-banned from the server; his rationale was that everyone was too freaking good at CS anyways, might as well make the game more interesting and difficult for himself, at least. :)
When you decide for yourself which game you're actually playing, sometimes the lulz are just too tasty to resist...
That said, DDoSing a bunch of game servers for games that are completely unrelated and haven't done anything in particular worthy of retaliation is moronic. There's no poetry there, just a bunch of children playing around with the 2011 equivalent of AOHell (and yes, I realize that most of them are probably to young to even know WTF I'm talking about).
