Plus another major issue is that Warmane Staff, if I'm not mistaken, doesn't have any kind of direct form with the host. They can't manage the equipment themselves, they hired a host to do it for them. The only thing they can do from distance is mitigate the damage done by the DDoS attacks and make backups to avoid unnecessary damage.
Detecting someone behind a DDoS attack is not easy. A DDoS attack consists in a massive attack from multiple computers sending huge ammounts of files to the server making the bandwith burn down completely. With this said, since several computers are behind that action, it's actually hard to find the "leader of the pack". People that make attacks like this ones don't usually get themselves envolved in the process. They have "ghosts" that will do the job for them and in multiple places of the world. Network is actually a complex issue and if they aren't rookies they can easily overflow the network without many struggles.
