LOL I was like really HA! and I havent been able to get on since.
Reusing username/password combos leads to hacked accounts.
You should check your other games, see which other ones you lost.
im on cable as well I checked my other games there ok they have authentacaters and scanned my pc but found nothing I really dont know what to do here because I havent got a response in 4 days.
If by tomorrow you don't have an answer yet, post in this thread:

Not sure if you can post after being hacked (since it's the same account), if you can't just get someone to post the incident number for you, if you want I can do it if you send it to me but I guess you'd feel more confident getting someone you actually know to do it for you.
What can men do against such reckless hate?
I feel you pain. I also believe there were more than ten k in those early day. Mine was hacked back then too.It took 3 days. No phone number to call CS, and just an overall lack of CS seems to be one of the major draw back for the B2P model.
good luck man.
Thats 10,000 no so smart people when it comes to account securityInteresting, I received that email earlier today and was like - yea ok!
Got home and I cannot login. Nice, even tied it to a email that has no other games tied to it and never took it online for any other reason cept for Newegg purchases. Guess I am off to find out how to get this reversed.
One thing, at least with Gmail (haven't checked if it works with GW2 yet, though, since email changing is disabled). If your mail is gmail you can create an account with something like:
[email protected]
When email is sent to that account gmail basically ignores everything after the +, so it goes to [email protected]. That way you could have different account names for different sites/accounts that use email as the account number without actually having to have different accounts.

My question is how do you people get hacked so easily? I have never in my entire 6 years as a gamer been hacked or briefed except for when phishing came along (but I quickly changed my password and other information after).
I can only guess that its not as much ArenaNet's fault as the person who gets hacked. Using basic passwords, same ones you use for other sites, never changing it, etc is your own fault in my eyes. ArenaNet can only protect you to an extent, as can any company.

I have never been hacked up until cataclysm came out then my accound was always getting hacked I have no answer I am no newb when it comes to computers I even have a new computer so this is not possibly on my end these companys get hacked all the time man there not invinceable look at wow for example blizzard was hacked and had a bunch og authentacater keys stolen not to long ago compramising thousands of accounts as well as sony. Also there was an email that some got that saying someone from ***** Ip is tryinmg to access your account but the problem with this is people were getting it even when they were just trying to log on there own accounts. So when they would get it again they were so used ti accepting it not noticing it was a different IP address its just not an effeciant system an authentacater would have just been better. But like I said man I didnt get anything in my email then I just got one sayin my username was changed and there was nothing in the email to change it back tey said some didnt get them and have a ticket for it.
Periods are for newbs lol no on the real though I have Adhd and ty it as it comes to me or I forget lol sorry.
This thing is a pain in the ass, as centurylink keeps deciding to change what city my internet is coming out of, so I have to validate every day it seems as the game detects a new ISP.
