A brute force "hack" is possible, just highly unlikely and inefficient compared to keyloggers.

A brute force hack isn't a real hack in the traditional sense of the word, rather, it is just guessing over and over until you find the right password. Depending on how you go about programming the computer to do this, there are too many drawbacks to it. Firstly, if you program it to go through every possible combination alphabetically, if the person has a password starting with a letter at the end of the alphabet, you'll probably never get there. Plus, it takes time to send the login request to the GW servers. I'm too tired to do the math right now but if it took even just 1 second per try, that is a lot of time. Plus if Arenanet's servers got that many packets again and again, they'd know something was up and more than likely lock down the account before you get to the B's.
