Guild Wars 2

I can only speak for myself, but my account being hacked was not due to lack of security on my part. If that were the case I wouldn’t waste my time posting on the forums. I don’t think Anets database has been compromised but I do think there is a flaw or a loophole in the account reset option. This is only my gut feeling, I don’t feel like I was randomly hacked but targeted. Of course there is no proof of that and you can believe what you want. I just hope that Anet can figure out how its happening and keep it from happening to anyone else.

So here is what happened to me just about 3 hours ago. First, I have an email and password dedicated to GW2 and nothing else. I also have the mobile authenticator enabled. I am 100% sure there are no trojons, or keyloggers on my computer. I logged on this evening and was put into a Lions Arch overflow server. I was standing at the bank when I was asked to ping my Twilight in /say, which I did. About 1 minute later I was disconnected to the character select screen, I jumped back in the game and was disconnected almost instantly. Jumped back on, disconnected again but this time a message popped up saying something along the lines of the account being used from another location. I immediately went to the account management page and tried to access my account but of course my password had been changed. I was able to reset it to a totally never before used password and log back on. In a period of maybe 3 minutes the hacker had got all my gold, t6 mats, and a good bit of my other mats. Of course when I logged back on I imagine the hacker got kicked to the character select screen and so we battled for control back and forth for a few minutes. Here is the strange part tho, once I stopped getting kicked I went to log into account management only to discover my password was changed again! Within maybe 8 minutes of me setting it to a totally unique password the hacker had changed it! This time I was unable to reset it and created a support ticket. Support was able to help me get control of the account again but I’m not at all sure that it will stay that way considering how quickly and easily it was hacked in the first place.

Event is stuck on Anvil Rock and Borlis Pass. The pact northern and southern forces are at rally point and the next event will not trigger. Been like this for 3 days on Anvil Rock. Pretty frustrating after all the time I put into getting my legendary to be held up by a bugged event.
