OK, then you, personally, don't fall for it. But enough people will that the game economy will crash and playing XIV will feel like XI before the Special Task Force, thus ruining your gaming experience regardless of your savvy.

People fall for these ruses all the time. Attackers keep doing it because it keeps working spectacularly, and the rewards always far outweigh the effort. S-E had to implement the Special Task Force and push these security fobs on us because far too many people weren't as secure as they thought they were. And, if given half a chance, the RMTs will do their best to make it happen all over again. Going from a security measure that is completely out-of-band to one that is more connected is a step in the wrong direction.

Just because you haven't heard a peep from the Cylons for a few decades doesn't mean it's OK to let the leggy blonde have access to the mainframe.

And if you really are a super-1337 hax0r posting from behind 7 proxies who doesn't have to worry about these risks, why are you even using the token to begin with? It's not mandatory.
