Is airtight really the word you'd choose to describe this system after all the duping? O_o

The question is irrelevant if it is theoretically possible to implement such feature, or if its already implemented but not used.

If they want it, and it's not implemented, they would implement it. But up to now, they don't want it, so they're not doing it. If you see rare reports about money restoration, it may be goodwill from their side, or fake screenshots, or a violation of the service process from support staff in favour to the user. We don't know. But nothing that is a regular service process everyone can benefit from.

Actually, Arenanet has the resources to do it (or atleast had). NCSOFT who usually makes the decisions doesn't. The rare cases things are restored are usually related to them being suspected and punished for gold buying/selling and being proven innocent later on after evaluating the logs or having lost things due to a direct mistake from the staff (ie. if a programming bug would erase the gold in storage if you finish a certain quest). These situations do not happen very often.

That is 100% not fake. About 4 months ago a friend of mine was accused of buying gold from real money traders, and had his account banned. He argued, anet discovered they were wrong, and gave him his account back.

He then found out a bunch of his ectos were missing, presumably the ectos they accused him of getting illegally. He complained, and they put that money back in his account.

It is 100% a real screenshot.

Sigh... it's the AIM and reason for not implementing a function, later cracks discovered have nothing to do with the goal and design philosophy...

Because you can choose anything between 8-13 characters, the total number of possibilities is actually 62^8+62^9...62^13

It ends up being a little more than what you had, or about 203 x 10^21 combinations. It's definitely hackable, but the point is that alphanumeric isn't the main problem here.

Sounds like OP is mad.

Indeed but I was to lazy to do that math by hand so shush.
