The easiest line of defense they could’ve added… email verification of you wishing to CHANGE the email and password on your account…

@Mazatron.2974 —- I’m on Day 7. I’ve obtained 2 Reps, Johnson who didn’t even bother reading my issue and Lance who didn’t even read my issue at all and sent me to the recovery page.

Ticket: 120907-002279
The response I was given… Didn’t fix the issue that my primary account: Xaeius.5123 was hacked and the email was changed. Clearly, didn’t notice the pictures that I gave or anything. In addition, this is the second serial code that they double charged me for and I’m still wanted for that money to be refunded. At this point, I just want refunded for serial codes

I’m still waiting from the 1st

My account has been hacked since the 1st. To no response, I was double charged and obtained two serial codes. I didn’t even notice it and gave them the serial code that I wasn’t using (This account) that I created on the 5th after the Customer Service rep told me that the serial wasn’t in use. I thought if I put the serial code in, I would be able to log back in.
Not only have I lost my 53 Necromancer, but I was double charged and still waiting for a refund. For the 2nd serial code that they charged me for. All I’ve wanted to do was play with my guild members that I have been with for years. But, I’m sadly losing major faith in the assistance and support of the company.
