Even if you have not been directly affected, I believe you have a community duty to add your voice to this petition to get something done. If the game has any community spirit left in it, then simply add 'signed' to the bottom of this post.
For too long the issue of account hacks has been swept under the carpet, the sympathetic noises given by Arenanet and the community just will not do.
Enough Is Enough. It's time to face this issue head on. No more hiding, no more excuses.
Please do not turn this thread into a debate or merge it into others. Or move it into a suggestions forum. This is a community interest thread, not a 'here's how to make things improved' thread. Neither should this thread be viewed as a QQ thread. it is a serious attempt to get something done.
The purpose is to show the importance we, the customer and the player place on preventing damage to our accounts by goldsellers, and malicious individuals.
Yes we know we have a duty of care etc, but so does Areanet to make sure WHEN things go wrong our accounts are as well protected as they can possibly be.
Quite simply we know more can be done and needs to be done.
Feel free to point this thread out, paste a link in your guild forums or repost it anywhere needed.
Nothing will change if we ignore this issue, sweep it under the carpet or pretend it won't happen to us.
It does'nt matter if you still play or not. this issue affects all of us.
It's time to say, as a community, FOR the community enough is enough.
We the undersigned wish Arenanet to introduce greatly improved measures to prevent deliberate sabotage of Guild Wars accounts as a matter of utmost priority, even if it means a delay to Guild Wars 2 or other planned updates.
We do not accept it is impossible to implement such measures and that using the creative skills we know Arenanet to possess this now continual flood of trashed accounts can and must be stopped.
We also state that this issue will affect our decisions to purchase further arena-net products
We wish it to be shown, by doing this you still value the custom and loyalty we have shown you over the past four years
