Well, fuck me, I added an authenticator to my account now, and have changed the password to boot, just gotta wait for them to inevitably ban my account and try to get in contact with their horrible CS to get it back... fuck

Yup it is ridiculous. The only thing that saved me was server instability.... incompetence saved me from a hacker, welcome to FF14!
Did you get hit with a ban for spamming gil sites ? I heard more than a few people on reddit complaining last week because of it. Unfortunately, doesn't look like the servers are coming down anytime soon (planned anyways)

edit: what kind of multinational company doesn't have support hours on saturday or sunday, that's just ridiculousness

I guess that must mean supply > demand... I mean they didn't even take my 175k... I guess that's a good thing, in WoW, where accounts were free, my character was stripped within 2 minutes of everything.

Do you get hacked in every game?
This is the second time. Once in wow before I got an authenticator, once in ffxiv now before I got an authenticator, my log in for my square enix account is unique to it (although admitedly it was a shared password that I've used in the past for game forums and such)

Good luck. After being hacked, I waited on the phone for three hours to be told I would receive an email in a day or so, then a confirmation email a week later telling me I had my account back. That was a week and a half ago and I'm still waiting on the first email.

Well, I currently have my account back, as long as I'm not caught up in some kind of automated banning thing, I should be good, but thanks!

note to self:

= distinct Emails for all game accounts

= distinct Password for all game accounts.
This should really be standard practice by now with all the WOW hacks that have been going on for years. Every game should be unique login and unique PW + key auth if available.

Use it ->http://keepass.info/

Just make sure you keep a backup somewhere, heh. I just sync it to dropbox. If someone hacks my dropbox and my keepass then I figure they have earned the right to read my emails and steal my gold.

Yeah I use keypass. Good shit. The only problem is that you essentially have to keep it on a dongle with you if you use any other computers, or laptops or go to a buddies house, work... That is, of course, if you use it for everything, like I do. Email, paypal, bank...etc...
