Something that Blizzard does that I think SE should look in to.

First off this is not a bashing thread This is about security of accounts.

Ever play WoW? I abashedly admit that I did for 3 years. However there is one thing that they did that was brilliant.

If you logged out from one IP address. Then someone tried to log in say, the next state/country ocean away they would automatically lock your account until you went in and changed your password. There was no investigation and no backlash to honest players. Except that you might lose some items or money that were loaded off your character while your account was accessed.

It's certainly a more sound tactic than suspending your customers for nothing.

Se needs to find something like this to do instead of banning their paying customers to the point that anyone who heard about this sort of thing would completely avoid the game. It certainly makes more sense than letting someone log in to an account that is NA based from China or where ever these bastards hail from. It may be a hassle if it happens repeatedly but I would rather this then locked out of my account for the next 12-18 days for something I didn't do.

Since I keep seeing people say that they already do something similar let me state it here. THEY DO NOT! My account was accessed as I slept. Stayed on long enough to spam for RMT sites. Apparently enough to have players report it. I NEVER received an email from them until 2 days after the fact and my account was already suspended. In fact I just made another point. What good does a "in time key" do you if you're say asleep? At work with no access to your key. Or if they fail to notify you?
