    Oooorrr... your friends were indeed stupid enough to go to a phishing site and don't want to admit it.

    You'd think there would be a bit more chaos around here if someone had the ability to access all existing PW accounts.

    What's this? People do stupid things and then blame it on the company to take the blame off themselves? I've never heard of such a thing in all my life! b:shocked

    Oh goodness no, there are a million other ways you could get ****. The thing is, it being PWE's fault is one of the less likely ones.

    I'd say being **** for no apparent reason would be a good reason to pay the forums a visit (isn't that what you're doing now?).

    Thanks, Cimon, I've not heard anything about any uptick in compromised accounts, but I've forwarded your concern to the GM team just in case. b:thanks

    If you make a valid complaint, your thread will disapear. Don't post it here, post it on other sites where PW can't hide it.

    Remember ANY time you click on ANY link in someone's post on ANY forum, whether it claims to be a TW video or a picture of a cute kitty, you could be downloading a keylogger (or worse) at the same time.

    Or maybe it's 'cause, you know, they just send in a ticket like we're told we should and if it takes too long to get a reply then just simply pm a mod...

    Agreed with the population and complaints.

    My friend had gotten **** at some point, I didn't pursue how... Didn't matter. Sometime later I got a free mount, as good as my current, so I deicded to give it to her since she was back to the lvl30 fly. But I just told her there's 1 string attached.

    Get a 12+ character password.

    b:laugh she got it, I gave it to her, all was happy

    I'd be more inclined to believe your friends downloaded a trojan virus and got keylogged or something before I'd believe that PWI "left their backdoor open."

    I always thought the first rule was:
