because they have a zero restore policy. One of the reasons for such a policy is to combat fraud and protect the in-game economy. It also is very expensive in time and resources to investigate and restore items. They also cannot do rollbacks without affecting everyone on the game.

Sorry you lost your stuff. Take it as a lesson to protect yourself and be more cautious in the future.

All these people just went to a link from the PM, and entered their passwords, didn't notice to 2 "i" letters, didn't think about why they have to enter their passwords, when they were just logged in. They probably had the same password for their e-mails, that's why the "hackers" could log in.

Y U NO KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT INTERNET SECURITY?!

You shouldn't need to change anything as long as you don't go clicking the links the message provided

Just literally logged on the forums and bumped a thread of mine in selling and noticed I had a new message. I noticed right off the bat that the name was wrong in the link, and thats when I found this thread. I'm going to email GGG asap so they can add Spam_Report to theyre list.
Yes its a sad thing but this comes with the territory of gaming. Please be sure to raise your awareness in the future to all you victims out there. This was a pathetic attempt to phish my account and an obvious one to be eluded.
