unnecessary. just have a good password, with letters and numbers. and if you're *really* concerned, get virus protection/spybot protection

u guys are too paraniod... hacking isn't as easy as it seems in the movies... get real out of the 2million accounts/players in gw i doubt even .01% have even limited hacking skills... chances of it happening are slim to none... lets not add an extra annoyance to guild wars

ps... with customer service part of gw maintainence ... why waste the money on paying people to reset storage PIN numbers because you know there are gonna be thousands of "oh i forgot my PIN please reset it"

/signed, just for those people who are really scared. It'd have to optional though.

What, you mean hackers can't remotely blow up monitors? And here I have been living in fear ever since I saw that movie...

Anyway, it just doesn't seem that important to me to have PIN for storage. You already have a password on your account.

Definately a nice idea, and sure - make it optional. We'd have more fun laughing at the people who didn't use it when they post about their storage being cleared anyways, right?

Exactly ^_^ I don't know why I didn't remember Runescape's method in the first place. It's really good, although I'd have to complain that the numbers are tiny hehe.

I don't see what's so hard to remember about a four-digit number. I agree with Maria the Princess: three tries and you're locked out. Maybe not so far as having the account password reset, but maybe just automatically log them off and lock them out of their account for 10 minutes.

Also, I don't think it's fair to say 'You were stupid, you got your account hacked, shut up' because odds are that a lot of people's accounts are 'hacked' by 'friends' who guess their passwords. It has happened. Maybe I'm just being over-sympathetic towards the people who have logged in to find all their characters gone, or their storage cleared, but suffice to say I wouldn't like it to happen to me and any extra security would be welcome.

p.s. I know 'hacking' isn't as easy as it looks in the movies. I'm not under any impression that we're all at risk from 'hackers'. I just think that a little extra security could be beneficial.

/signed on one condition

If it was completely optional to do or only once per login. I dont want to sit there typing 5392 every time i want to remove 1k from storage

5392 isnt any of my pins btw

IrishCatholicNewYorker · Sep 22, 2006, 08:28 PM // 20:28

I totally agree with the above /not signed

/signed for both but instead of typing it you should have to click on each symbol.

they already have PIN numbers in some foreign mmo's and i've always thought of it to be good rather than annoying.

I mean, you almost always keep the most valuable of items in your bank, rather than walking around like a tool with 100k and a full inventory of black dyes or something.
