Authenticators

Hey there,

I saw this whilst browsing mmo-champion.com today and though this was an interesting and great idea..

Link to thread: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/760263-Guild-setting-requring-an-Authenticator

And the quoted post: "The Cataclysm beta currently features a Requires Authenticator checkbox in the guild controls for each rank in a guild. Once activated for a rank, you cannot promote someone to that rank unless he or she is using an authenticator. At this time, the highest rank below Guild Master defaults to Requires Authenticator's being checked, and all other ranks default to its being off.

This is a much more reliable tool than making members show their Core Hound Pup in order to get guild bank privileges, which was really the only way to verify authenticator use before. Of course, this is the beta, and that means the functionality may change drastically before making it to live, if it does. I predict, however, that Blizzard will try its very best to release this setting, as its use should reduce time spent recovering stolen bank items.

Guild leaders, will you use this feature? Guild officers, what is your opinion of this change?"

I personally think this is a great feature.. especially considering how many times The Havens GBank has been hacked ^^.. its also optional so can be turned off should officers/guild leaders decide.. All in all a good addition I believe...

Any other thoughts about this

And that right there is an excellent idea to try and mitigate the amount of damage that a single compromised account can have... *thinks back to when I was hacked*

No way to enforce it for the Guild Master though...

As someone who has been hacked and got an authenticator a bit too late... yeah, is a good thing. GBs can be wiped by a hacker and although you can get stuff back, it's a pain in the wassname.

If you're a guild master with a high-value guild bank, you would be retarded not to have one, quite frankly. I would imagine any hint from a guild master that has large amounts of gold / rare items in gbank (A guild I was in, had 40k in gold, and about 60-80k in items, was rather shocked when I saw it. But I laughed when our guild master got hacked. Was before authenticators.) , would get a sudden revolt or somthing

I guess there is still one question: will people be automatically demoted when the patch with this happpens, and to what rank?

Every single one of you will go down from whatever rank you are now to "Peons", and I shall laugh heartily.

Oh, apart from Pirate. He'll get the rank "Hero" for bringing sexy back.
