Ye gods...

What kind of passwords are you people using that you'd actually fear brute forcing? We know Anet has brute forcing slowdown mechanisms that make login tempts take longer and longer as more and more logins fail.

Unless you have a password 5 letters long, you're probably quite fine. And I'm sure Anet has ways of detecting brute force attempts (they are essentially a DOS attack from their point of view).

I probably have gone over 40 hard drives already. You can afford a new hard drive, but you can't afford a new account. Since there is an emotional attachment between you and the account, it's recommended that you sacrifice the harddrive since it's cheaper to get a new hard drive every 1 month. It's also free if you have scholarship money from school and such .
You are, by far, the most paranoid person I've ever seen in my life.

Not to mention the hoards of money you're wasting just by "tossing out" the old HD.

If whoever paid for your scholarship realized you're just tossing it away..

Good god.


You don't have to go through such.. erhm... extremes, if you're just safe.




Also, get the tinfoil out of your hat. The aliens aren't going to absorb your gray matter.
