Even with 1 special character the chances you're getting hacked are much smaller.Why would I waste 30 mins of my life to learn something that doesn't help me at all? Theres no "smaller" chance, because even with a not very complicated password that doesnt resemble any word your chances to get hacked are zero, considering you don't have a keylogger, didn't give your password away and nexon didn't get hacked. It's practically impossible to brute force a password over the internet... Eos took over 10 hours to brute force something with 65,000 possibilities. Even an extraordinary weak 6 characters password with only non captial letters has over 244,140,625 possibilities, which is equal to about 35,000 hours of brute-forcing. See where I'm getting? It's not possible to crack passwords over the internet. Period. Even if your password IS a dictionary word (which is the weakest type of passwords), dictionary attack lists are usually 1.5m words long. thats equal to almost a week of attacking. And all of these calculations are not even including the 10 minutes ban you get every 5 tries.
