Authenticators and guild management

[Kaylaneh]

Hey there!

Seems Blizzard in their infinite stupidity are going to add something new into the game. Read the article in the following link about the authenticators:

This is such SUCH a bad idea. There's no way I can obtain an authenticator. Sure, if they were being sold at stores I would get one but they aren't. The only way to get one is to use internet payment or have a sophisticated mobile phone which I also don't have.

And you'd be sure that we won't put this onto our guild ranks. I'm veto-ing this whatever you think Ald. ;D But I'm sure you agree with me on this regardless.

Hang on, all they're adding is the OPTION of restricting certain ranks to accounts with Authenticators. Big deal.

I'm still tempted to get one for myself - anyone hacking my account could empty the guild bank and disband the guild, which would sting a little. I see zero need for it with anyone else, though; even the officer alts can't do anything irrevocable or otherwise terribly damaging.

But Celegil, you iz no haz veto. I iz tha mastah! Buhahaha!

But..but..I..I have power? *cries in a corner*

Anyway. True, its an option. But I hope not many other guilds start implementing this. Its like locking out a player of a guild because he hasn't got an authenticator.

Darn it Blizzard, why don't you sell these things in stores?

House of Elements(Unity guild), got following ranks.
We got Earthbinder, Flame caller, Wind chaser and lesser Deity (we Couldn't find something for water.)

Some have to ask others to take stuff for them from the guild bank, as we've had enough hacks.
Noone sees this as a big deal. We(HoE) do not need a system to tell if people have authenticator, we have trust.

I don't think WoM has so many important things or people that such limitations is needed.
