Excuse me. Why should I spend my money and on top of that inconvenience myself in order to play a free-to play game? WTF is your problem?

And yes Mavfin. It IS Blizzards fault. No other games have this problem.
If you got your nose out of their butt, you would see that, Pinocchio.

Jeez, you are an annoying one.

It is a problem in any game that has a marketable currency. Every MMO has had hacked account issues. Eve, RIFT, SWTOR, etc... all have had "hacking" issues. What you're seeing is the size of DIII is making what was a common issue more prominent.

I had my B.net account hacked and here is how they did it:
- I had the same email password as a forum password
- They stole the forum database
- The changed my password and useed my email account to verify it... bam, they had my account.
- Before I realized how they stole my account, I changed my B.Net password, which made them attach an authenticator.
- Only then did I realize they were in my email and I changed that password.

My point is that this was a case where I was ultimately at fault for using an email password the same as a forum password. Initially, I had no idea how they got into my account. I absolutely knew I did not fall for a phishing scam or something like that.

If your B.Net account or email account ever had the same password as a forum account ... ever... then you are at fault. They probably had a pile of old email / pass lists that they went through the first few weeks just checking old lists to see what they get a hit on. They probably had 2 years of old backlog just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks.

After that event (which was well before Diablo III came out) I did attach an authenticator to my account. No, you shouldn't NEED to. However, the amount of inconvenience involved means it's a worthwhile thing to do for me. Especially since I was GM and paying for WoW and it disrupted more than just me to have me getting hacked.
