So no chance on the recovery.. well shit.
Ok that leads me into my 2nd question. I haven't been hacked in a game, or lost a password in MANY years. This happening in 2 weeks, makes me very suspect that there's something going on in the background where there's a hole, or someone leaking accounts or something. (not accusing, just saying that this is what it seems like). I'm not pissed about my gold, but to keep this from happening in the future...
I've signed up for the Authenticator and stuff, does this guarantee that someone can't get in now w/o that? Or is there some other work around?
Because you shouldn't HAVE to change your password every dang week in order to keep it safe... Some thing else is up, and i don't wanna put in hours of work to get to 60 and farm stuff up, only to have it lost because it's hacked due to someone elses fault. :\
