"It is possible to trace the origins of these attacks given help from ISP's involved and those people with infected computers from whence these individual attacks amass from."
no its not that easy when attackers spoof ip addresses.
The ISPs are also not very helpful even when u do have that information.
And we already know how much interest EA have in WOL so I wouldnt expect them to do anything about DOS attacks anymore than I would expect them to fix anything else that needs doing on the server.
