Default How safe do you feel with your guildwars account?

How often do you change your password? I've changed mine only once ever, as my old one wasn't very safe after I noticed over 3 dozen failed login attempts to my playNC account.

So, the question is... how do you feel about your account safety?

1: Paranoid, change my password at least once a day
2: Very scared, change my password several times a week
3: Scared, change my password once a week
4: Kinda scared... change my password once every 2 weeks
5: Not scared, change my password once a month
6: Minimally scared, maybe a few times a year
7: Changing passwords is for n00bs, haven't changed my pass... ever!

For me, 6. I've changed it once ever, don't feel scared cause my account name and e-mail is sooooo random and hard to decypher that not even the most dedicated hacker could figure it out.(i would know as I used to hack another game, don't worry, twas console related game^^)

hmm even if your pass is random, like e4f1"'51gf"'5zf1"'51fg"'5tg1"'
keyloggers would do the very same trick

6, 2 people know my account, and I can easily beat the crap out of them, so I'm not afraid

I got hacked not sure how because I have not given out any of my info to anyone. Its strange because there have been huge amounts of people being hacked all of the sudden.

Hack rating: 5 or so

If you have a secure password, why change it?

jaw495g98ehrt is just as easy to guess (or hack) as woe89ie4rnrfw

I'm extremely safe now, as I uninstalled couple days ago. Nothing in my account worth stealing now anyway.

I'm in between 6: Minimally scared, maybe a few times a year + 7: Changing passwords is for n00bs, haven't changed my pass... ever!

Since i dont change it a few times a year, i've only changed it once. And like miskav, only one person knows my account and i can beat the crap out of him , but in all fairness i also know his account.

6 , I changed it because there was this 1 person who knew my password

Anyway, if I get hacked the hacker will be like this:
"All the effort for a green dye!?"

7. Easily. Never changed my password and never intend to. Only other person who knows my password is my little brother.
