PETITION: Let Players Enjoy Secure Nostalrius Again

[weeezing]

Instead of following up with a mindless '/signed', apply for a GM position in order to create a team that will deal with this, or donate for paid staff to take care of this.

Going through a checking items of every person who has been 'hacked' is a huge time investment, it's not some quick push of a button like some of you seem to think it is.

I agree with this.

If anything, there needs to be incentive for more security such as an authenticator. It should not fall on the nost staff to review every single case of people getting hacked. But as it has been stated, this is starting to deteriorate guilds right now. My guild has gotten hit and people keep getting hit. We have 1 core person who already has announced that he is quiting unless he gets his vendored things back, which we all know wont happen.

Basically: Don't let the nost staff work more than they do, this is their spare time work. A pay solution is not possible either seeing legal claims from Blizzard. Hacked accounts are hacked, but if the developers want to keep their veteran playerbase we will need to see new security measures being taken. This could (I suppose) be achieved by having members of the community skilled in development work on the issue, if the staff would be open to such a thing. It's their server, after all.

OP does not appear to be making any comment or suggestion on the process of investigation, it's timeliness, or lack there of. I'm not entirely sure what is being asked for, but it is along the lines of policy change, or official statement about the issue.

What Notgunnahappen is suggesting and you're agreeing with cannot be a reality before the policy and idealogy behind it is changed. That is what we're trying to accomplish. You cannot solve a problem before you acknowledge its existence, simply put.

So maybe I missed it but there doesn't seem to be a solution mentioned in the original post to the problem

I think we need another method of security check for our accounts.. seems like the recent gold spammers that hit the market today with level 20+ characters on horde/alliance are in full swing.. this is only moments after a bunch of players got hacked.

not sure if an addon/torrent/database breach happened but something is going on and is compromising people's accounts.

not sure what is the cause but something needs done. security questions/abilitiy to freeze accounts or something.
