this happened in RIFT by trion also, and they swore to god it wasnt on their side and we where basicly idiots for loosing our account info
2 weeks later they had to go out with a formal apology cause they had been compromised
also happened with diablo 3, it took months before they said they MIGHT have been compromised and suggested everyone should change their passwords right away
so ull have to excuse me if im a little inclined to think its anet turn this time

You can’t blame anet for this one. Somehow someone has gained your account information somehow. Either by phishing or you used the same information on other websites/services that have been compromised. A lot of game websites have been hacked in the last two years.
thats exactly why i blame ANET, cause
1. not the same password anywhere else, not even similar
2. ive been gaming since 1986 and never ever fell for a phishing attempt nor have i been hacked or had my comp infected in all these years
3. i dont click links i dont know for a fact points to something i need/want
4. i dont even open emails from an unknown sender, and if unsure i check the email header and do ip-lookups before i open it
5. yeah im basicly the “tinfoil hat man”

yeah i never use my pass twice either, and running several rootkit scans along with bootscan and live protection, and its clean. on top of all that i also run malwarebytes 4 times a week, im 110% sure its not on my end and bruteforcing it just aint an option

just got a email telling me someone from china tried to login to my account and it needed to be authorized..
now my password is prolly one of the tougher ones (obviously cant say anything else) but i know for a fact this one would be like 1 in a billion to be bruteforced if even that
so im wondering if anet has looked over their network security, as ive seen quite a few people this has happened to
and honest to god, if my password has leaked somehow, im going to take legal action. im getting tired of gaming companies leaking personal info left and right and not taking responsibility for it.
failed at doing a simple cm story run, mobs hitting us for 3.2k on a regular basis!! thats with 4k hp, something must be wrong this is just silly. snipers in the tree hit for 2.5k bombers 2k ish , the liut at the tree ambushed for 2.6k
scaled down from 80 to 40 btw, rest of grp was around 60ish
