No flame war, no worries.

I can only say, I've been playing after this "warning" and I haven't been hacked. As I said, one has to get my email and my PW to get into my GW account. And there isn't really any easy way of doing that, except for a keylogger hidden in a forbidden program. And if a hacker would really have the skill to find out my email and PW either from the Anet server or from my machine (though, it's not stored here), then why would he bother with it? If he has such skills he can do something more interesting than that. I don't think that a real hacker (someone with skills, not some "l33t" script kiddie) would waste time with something like this. And even if he succeeds, what's there to win? Nothing, no bank data, no insurance numbers, no credit card numbers... nothing.

I remember in Lineage 2, more than once people were bitching "I got hacked". Just later one would usually discover that they were just dumb and had used a third-party program, which had carried a keylogger. Whoops?
