I know the suggestions sections are not up and this thread probably would be closed and viewed as one.
But I believe I need to ask now as it is a issue that there really needs to be blacklist or whitelist for countries to login to a account.
So far I have heard allot of people getting hacked even ones that used a special email address password to log into this game.
I know for a fact I will not be trying to login from China, Taiwan or anywhere else apart from Australia and want my account to reflect that and only allow and ask for authentication and confirmation if the login comes from the country I specify.
This would stop many people clicking allow from china links which people accidentally do handing over there accounts to spammers as it would just outright block anyone from china trying to login.
So far I have had 5 attempts of logging into my account from china etc with 1 attempt at a email change.
A couple times I nearly clicked the link in the email to allow them access but luckily I didn’t and still have my account.
Please Anet allow us to have login region restrictions on our accounts.
I love the game and going great in it and congrats on getting top sales in Europe for a MMO you have really earned it.

It wouldn’t do much, proxies are a dime a dozen.

While yes there are many proxies its still better security with region blocking as they need to also know the country your account is region locked to and then use a proxy from that country if they can find one especially a free proxy at that that gives decent speed which are hard to find.
Having both those combinations would stop allot of people trying to get into accounts, especially automated login testers as it would take a gold seller 20-40 times as long with all the country regions to test accounts for a correct combination as well every time they change proxies to test another country they need to reconfigure stuff in there os taking extra time.
As for me, how is a gold seller going to know my account is for Australia based on a random email and password found somewhere online and 2 they need to look for Australian proxies once they did know which would be harder to find than some other countries.
