[dev1083]Abolition of IP check system

[Zephir]

Its a security feature that basicaly makes you reset your password(i minor inconvenience) if you log on from a different IP

this is to stop people who are accessing peoples accounts illegaly(hackers) and is there for your protection.

If you wanna log in somewhere other then usual, do the process real quick and then log in, its not that hard to do

and its alot better then one day logging in only to find someone changed all your info and is now using your account instead of you because this feature wasnt in place


as far as multiple people on same IP goes...thats not an issue at all, i have multiple computers connected to this game and there are no issues(cuz i never switch IPs)

There are a lot of way to protect account...in FFXI i log from a lot of PC and never had my account stolen.....

This is terrible for me....

If you don't swich IP....but if I want to log from my laptop outside??

Then that is something you must deal with
whos to say im not the one logging into your network from right outside your house?

again, this protects you, yes its an inconvenience, but its one thats worth it


as ive always stated before in these matters
people LOVE security features, unless they are affected by them and have to do anything extra

People say that must format window every 6 month...I pay attention and have same OS istallation from over 2 years.

I'm ok with security features but if i can decide to use it or not.

A sort of swich can be fine

IP check system--->ON/OFF (default ON)

they did it more for them self then for you, this stops them from having to deal with people with stolen accounts in the boat loads buy a token

Perfect...

If I have IP check on and my accout was stolen then SE must do something.

If I choose to deactivate system and I lose my account SE can ignore me...

I can accept a thing like this.

It is my choice

its also your choice to play from more then 1 location/rig

this is a dead issue, its not getting changed, people keep bringing this up only when it inconveniences them

I agree with this, when SE announced it there were no complaints that I remember, but once somone gets blocked they start crying, as I said this is a compromise, they could have made it much worse.
