Authenticators, yes or no?

What is your opinion on them?

Nexon should allow us to have authenticators on our accounts. I have one on my email which is great, but that doesn't completely keep your account safe. It has helped me from getting hacked in many different games. It's exactly what WoW has, you either have this device you pay like 5$ for or you can use your phone to get the code and put it in after you type in your login. Each time it's a different amount of digits, so there's no guessing. You will even know if someone's trying to get into your account and you can immediately intervene!

Just remember [b]it would be optional[/b]. Not everyone has 5$ to spare and a phone.

Though I doubt Nexon would do this as they don't care much about the players.

It adds another layer of security which is great. It should be made completely optional so it's up to the player to decide whether to have it or not.

This, it happens all the time. Actually, ever since I even started playing there has always been an issue with security. Fake GMs, 0$ NX, hacks, tempting ads, virus through email, "friends", and much more. They're still around believe it or not, and it's always better safe than sorry.

Not everyone has common sense.

As of late I haven't heard security being an issue for players, just the ones unlucky, or dumb enough to get malware, or trust a friend too closely to share account details.
