I would love to get the token .. But i have no idea if i even can in Australia.

App Store on your smart phone -> SquareEnix Token -> Download -> Profit.

Alternatively, you can emulate an android device on your PC/Laptop and run the Security Token that way.

How does me having some silly token change that other than forcing me to type in TWO passwords every time I login?

By removing that particular security check? I've played in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Jakarta with the OTP key and have never been forced to change my password for having different IPs due to having the OTP app. If you're too lazy to type in a quick 6 number password (you've handled a calculator before right?) and a muscle memory password, maybe you should redirect your accusation to yourself.

Well if his router happens to reset or something like that, then it could change.

I think you're confusing ISP for IP.

get the app

Windows phone.
The app crashes my whole computer on bluestacks.
Had to buy the dongle.
Disappointed that I paid extra for an in game advantage.
But at least I can log in anywhere with the game without hassle.

Don't forget you get a small bonus of having 1 free location for teleporting as well if you are using the token(either software or physical token).

You aren't paying for an ingame advantage. You are paying for better security on your account and as a bonus you get a free teleport.

Sounds to me like he did buy it just for the free teleports. That's the only reason I bought it too. I played on just ps4 at the time and wasn't the least bit worried about a keylogger or anything.

Get a one time password token (or app) and you will never have to change your password for this reason again. This security only effects people who are not using a one time password, and you should really be grateful that it's there. When I purchased my token it was $9, essentially the cost of shipping, not sure if that's changed.

The distinction is only a formality.
I'm paying money. I'm receiving the ability to play on any computer with the game, the security of others being unable to log in, and a small advantage. What you call it doesn't change what it is.
And I am abusing the crap out of it.

I've been using the same token since it launched for XI and have never regretted it. Entering a second password has never been a hassle because it's not. For the peace of mind of never being hacked I have not once considered not using it. I'm more worried about when mine finally dies than I am about losing the in-game bonus from it, it means I will need to remove it while I wait for a replacement to arrive leaving my account exposed.
