Guild Wars 2

Yes but what about items? They can have ID numbers! And I don’t think Anet doesn’t have logs or backups in which they can see status of players of days before…

If Anet simply provided a tracking ID for every item this would not have been a problem at all. You lose your stuff, they check that you had those things, track it and give it back to you. Stop. The last step is just refound who bought that and ban the ones who received the items LAST from the hacked account. Really not that difficult if you made a game of such this complexity.

Do you really think that item duplication is a problem for programmers that build a game such GW2? And you think that the stolen items won’t transit through one ONLY account or only a FEW ones? The real thing is that ANet failed with security, and they should IMMEDIATELY give back items from stolen account. This should not be even an option. Personally I won’t give ANet money anymore, I will not buy on Black Lion Trading Company and if they will continue with this way of acting I won’t buy expansions too.
