If you really wanna follow up on this, PM me. I won't spam this topic any longer than the following.
If one so much as knows the email and the login of a person's account, their account is easily compromised within 5 minutes. Therefore, one can look on E-Bay for accounts that are being sold, ask to contact the seller, and viola. That person's account is
busted :S
@ Dopple:
I have read their TOS, I know their TOS, but they do not enforce it. Was Reilly Klevre in any trouble when he... messed with... Silkroad's turkey event web page thingy? No. Will the person who put the "f- you" alert on their website ever be punished? Probably not.
I did not mean to generalize the legit players with sun sets with the hoards of botters who bought their sun sets. But usually, it doesn't take long to identify who bots and who doesn't in a server.

They'd have to get keylogged or share the info.
Either way, it's wrong. Basically going down to their level kind of thing. You become no better than them yourselves.
Ahem. Bullshit. You don't know what you're talking about, and therefore, you should not talk about the concept of hacking Joymax accounts. Don't say hacking accounts is impossible, or even improbable.
Hacking accounts is impossible.
Said it!
When someone loses their account, it's 100% their "fault", whether it be a bad password, downloading something they shouldn't or sharing info.
Look, if I truly desired, all I would need would be your damned email and login ID to have full access to your account. I'm in no way exaggerating. And it doesn't take much work to get the E-Mail of a target, simply befriending them could do the trick. Finding the login is the hard part, but nothing a dedicated soul can't do.
And how stupid would it seem, in retrospect, to merely give out an E-Mail to someone whom you've developed close bonds with in game? It would seem like such a little, insignificant thing.
Of course, it's that person's fault in the first place for giving out personal data of any sort, in which case, you're right. I admit to that.
