How did Guild Wars treat you today?
-
-
I am posting this here as it speaks to how GW is treating me (mods please move to another discussion if needed).
I recently discovered that 2 of my collection storage accounts that were both created from the beginning of time were updated to have 2-factor authentication, which I did not setup. Unfortunately due to the age of these accounts, I no longer have access to the email addresses so I know for sure I didn’t set this up.
I created a support ticket however having struggles getting their support as they say they can’t change that setting.
I have since heard from one other player that this occurred to them as well. Has anyone else discovered this?
If so, did you have access to the email allowing you to still log in?If you didn’t have access to the email, did you also put in a ticket?
I would like to encourage anyone who had this happen (even if you could access the code) to report it to help others who can’t get this resolved.
Thank you all in advance for reporting it if impacted.Chevy

In case of more topics on reddit, example ->
Anet should know by now that many players have fallen victim to this situation. However, i'd be surprised to know what this has to do with an error 3023 (#7,403). Now i'm going to get lynched, but you should be more careful about keeping your information up to date, if only for security reasons.
Edit: Then this sentence should scare you if you use gmail: "Yes, that works. My email from the supplier(gmx) expired and I could simply recreate it. Requested the auth code and it worked". I'll leave you to think about it.. if true?
Edit2: Stephen reaction here: Reddit: Were YOU there?

big shortage of nic gifts incoming

lol i tested RA and thought... well no, it's always the same crap The bots have their e-mail addresses up to date (darn).

tbh had some info on an old drive (aka cd keys, that died).
Only have access to emails now, some got deleted due to inactivity, was able to recreate some with the same domain and worked for the 2FA code.
Would be easier if we could see which keys we used on ours accs.
Some email providers don't even exist anymore so those people are just fucked.
And no, it should be a checkbox on the arenanet web account to enable this, it shouldn't be enable randomly.
Maybe they did that to prevent some "chinese" people to empty accs with pre nerf or to lower player base or just a random side effect on an server update (new error code on gw2 login : https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/topic/144377-c…3-invalid-code/)
BTW, 2FA was kind of "rolled back" yesterday, was able to log in an acc with 2FA randomly add that lost 2FA, logged out and tried to logged in again, 2FA was up again -

After that, if you're active on GW, you should have changed your inactive emails for active ones, with a request to support. And changing your password from time to time doesn't hurt either. -

Maybe all the henchmen tonics will show back up soon

same thing just happened to me on 2 accounts, not sure I can still access the accounts yet.
Happened to another one earlier in the week, but was able to reset a password for the email .
Anet should stop making it difficult for us that actually still play the game. Start nuking the bots and what not.
EDIT: I created a ticket

This really stinks like someone got ahold of a database somehow, and this is 'clean-up' efforts.

Who cares? It would have been more viable in RA, but it won't change a thing. A brick and the house to build.

So I was able to change the email accounts on the two that were screwed up. They wanted IRL name , shipping address, account creation date , keys( which I have no idea what they are) and some toon names. I went through this before so I was able to get info I needed from previous emails. They said they were delayed cause they were busy, so it may be happening a lot.

Prices have no logic based on any reality, why should you care? Only those stupid enough to follow them are concerned.
[place a meme here, no time to create one now]

Why should i care?
I don't.
I did it on my main back then, and couldn't give 2 💩s if my alt ever gets it.
-
I still miss 7k pts on main. Time for more JQ...
-
Are these even worth keeping ?
-
I'd assume there's someone out there that will save this nice little drop from Shatam LOL

that's so dumb, this update is useless.
They removed the hex, so even if you leave you don't have the hex.
Botters should check in which side they got more accs and make accs on the opposite site leave so they would win more easily & make more pts.
In theory, if a full team leave, you would instant win & you can abuse the pvp questMoreover, Stephen's lack of awareness regarding how bots are being used to intentionally die in PvP illustrates his limited understanding of this issue.
Less bots in JQ, i'm 99% sure it's due to 2FA thing which isn't related to this update -
So no more hex when you leave and no leeching alert when you dont move?
The JQ bots also sometimes all leave before the game starts. But they still dead.

I just re-tried it in codex, no hex when leaving
Also, let's say some people are in HA, their done doing their daily cap, they could instant leave with alts and get the chest instantly and keep farming HA chest -

yep

I get the impression that he doesn't talk to the community and experienced players before making a decision. After all, we were on this game long before he was, weren't we? As soon as you criticize it, you're put in the negative on reddit. Players applaud, but they don't know what they're talking about..
As for JQ, i did a run yesterday (daily quest + double week) and my RoJ killed as many bots as usual (i block them, because they're stupid and move in a straight line). I didn't see any difference (?)
Joke inside: In the end, PvP was better when there were no players or bots at all, or how to max out the codex by playing against yourself because there was nobody in front of you lol.

it's the same guy. anyone with a female character can relate and eventually puts this weirdo on ignore lol
-
I'm not sure... is this happening to other people?
yes
-
Its the same guy since years, his main account was massively reported long time ago and banned for this kind of msg already.
I receive sometimes msg too
-
I'm not sure... is this happening to other people?
In general, when i reply to this type of guy who tells me that my female character is sexy: - And yet you haven't seen my big c**k! He stops, no more messages.
