*offers hugs & hot tea* I hope you have a better day - & change that password!

why would i need to buy gils..i was one of the first crafter on the server...

Yes, and you was so pro that you could do anything. Lame excuse, now you learned your lesson, change password and do not make it repeat again.

still don't know why a big lot of people still don't have authenticators/tokens

Are they new to mmorpg or something? its one of the first things you do when you set up an account.

Na they do just not smart enough to use it. even so if they really don't which i find it hard to believe in this day and age, they should dish out the less then $10 to buy a token.

most people get hacked because they use the same password in more than one place. Part of the problem is that people tend to have lazy minds and do not want to have to remember hundreds of different passwords. Here is a trick that will help you a LOT.

Pick 6 random alpha numeric characters, mixed case, like nU73zK. Now, pick a place to do a 2 character insertion, say in this case, between the 7 and the 3. From then on, just customize the password to match the site you are on with a 2-character symbol. For instance, google mail can become nU7gM3zK. FF14, since you use a SquareEnix account, can become nU7sE3zK. Your uberporn site becomes nU7uP3zK. You get the idea. Vastly more secure than using leetspeek, dictionary words, or writing things down... and definitely better than using the same password everywhere.

It looks like you got hacked and I hate to say it but you most likely deserved it. There's really only a few possibilities here.

1) You used a password that was easily cracked through a bruteforce/rainbow table/dictionary attack.
2) Your computer was infected by a keylogger/rootkit/RAT.
3) You used the same password multiple times (some sites store passwords in clear text).
4) You gave someone else your password.
5) Your story is bullshit and you made it up to elicit attention.

tl;dr Don't blame SE when the fault is all your own.

I got an email from SE just the other day saying my account had suspicious login attempt activity and was locked. Changed my password and good to go, nothing touched.

token / one time password ^.^

if you report it to s/e you will get your stuff back....after they ban your account for 2 weeks to a month!

Got to admit, leaving 100k on the account after hacking it to make it look like a GM intervention is.. clever. In an awful sort of way.

But yeah if stuff was sold instead of just deleted there's no way that wasn't a hacking incident >.>
