14 DAY TRIAL // Guild Wars 2 was launched only a few days ago, but gold farmers and other nefarious individuals have already begun hacking their way into the accounts of legitimate players and making off with all their valuable items.
Guild Wars 2 was released last weekend for those who pre-ordered it and became available for everyone earlier this week.
We have already revealed that developer ArenaNet has begun suspending players for offensive names or language and that hackers have begun sending fake password reset emails to players.
Now, it seems that shady individuals and gold farmers have already begun breaking into the accounts of legitimate players, as more and more people are complaining about missing items and gold.
What’s more, some breaches are even more serious, as one player, via NakedSecurity, revealed that a hacker used the credit card he attached to the account to buy over $150 (around €119) in gems.
ArenaNet has pledged to investigate all these hacks and once again advised players to stay safe and use strong passwords.
Given the popularity of Guild Wars 2, however, expect hackers and gold farmers to continue attacking its players.
