Please move this thread. This is a little ridiculous it’s still in general discussion.

Yes let's just sweep it under the rug....

Anyone who’s saying “oh yeah sure, blame CG for a weak password etc…” clearly hasn’t watched the video nor understands the root of the issue here. The issue is that you can be randomly logged into a random account and take advantage of the delete feature that CG has added. This has happened to me in the past (account wasn’t deleted) and has happened to several guild mates as well. This Issue IS CG’s problem and there’s no “blame” being thrown here. It’s an issue that exists. Plain and simple.

You’re all more than welcome to believe what you’d like to believe until it happens to you. But the fact that this guy is here simply advising people to watch a video related to an issue that’s kind of a big deal isn’t a justifiable reason to throw insults at him. ?‍♂️

CG is compelled to include an account deletion feature due to legal laws

Requesting more steps for account deletion, however, is a valid feedback request, but not a problem

I do agree more steps to confirm account deletion wouldn't hurt

I assume Ultra is going to come along and delete this and warn me, but hey... I would definitely give it a watch. CG don't seem to care that our accounts can be hacked into and deleted.

Maybe don't spam and Ultra won't close your threads. Also maybe don't use weak facebook accounts to get into GOH and then you won't get your game deleted.

Then maybe CG shouldn't have the option to use a FB if it is weak and they know it can be hacked. Or they could make it more secure. Just a thought.

Then maybe the user should have enabled 2FA in Facebook to prevent it from being hacked in the first place. Just a thought.

Sure it's always the user's fault and everyone is supposed to be an expert and not in the hands of the actual company that provides a game to make it secure. Especially when they know about security problems.

You can't blame CG for a user that created a throwaway facebook account with an easy to guess password or reset questions. it's 2022, you don't need to be a security expert to know these things.

That isn't even how the hack works. If you don't know what you're talking about you should keep your mouth shut instead of defending a garbage company. You can get into other peoples account completely by accident. It doesn't involve weak passwords or throwaway FB accounts or 2FA or whatever weak justification you are trying to make. This is an issue entirely on CGs end that they apparently know about, but refuse to do anything about or even comment on.

And again, if you've been following the thread, you would know that the problem featured in Ahnald's video was a reddit user whose facebook account was hacked which is how they lost access to their GOH account. Perhaps take your own advice.

That one specific situation yes, but the issue of randomly logging into another persons account is still there and is still a problem yet there isn't a single peep from CG. The issue is bigger than this isolated incident. Everything you mentioned about passwords is totally irrelevant to the far more problematic issue I'm talking about. It just needs to happen to someone who has spent 10s of thousands of dollars on the game for them to actually do something.

The fact that it hasn't happened to a spender indicates it's not a widespread issue at all. You have probably heard of 4 or 5 different instances from Ahnald, and prior to one of his recent videos nobody talked about it for years, and never more than once or twice a year, because of how rare it is.

Also note not once did I say it wasn't a problem or that CG shouldn't fix it. But in very specific reference to this thread about today's Ahnald video that's about a dude whose facebook account was hacked, CG is not at fault.

I really had to search hard to find this thread again...
