Well, what do they do in other games? Those people would not have an extra level of security for their account. This isn't meant to be a mandatory thing. It is for people who are willing to pay or those who are lucky enough to have a compatible phone to download it on.

Hackers will find a way to get access to anything. Trying to stop them isn't 100% guaranteed and eventually they will get past things with time. What if next time they break the cyphers used by the Authenticators and find a way to spoof them? Then what? Literally, an authenticator would end up being nothing more than key chain with a random number generator as the hacker could already find a way to get the code, use it, and poof... you've been hacked and you didn't do anything to contribute to it.
Phones aren't immune to malware either... http://www.toptechreviews.net/tech-news/...id-phones/
There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding more security to your account. Sure, they might find a way somehow to hack people, but it would not be due to having an authenticator itself. There is always a way around things. It definitely would not hurt, and you also have to think about the hundreds of people who could possibly be saved from having their account stolen from adding an authenticator. This wasn't meant to become an argument thread, but if you do not agree with suggesting that Nexon provide this service to us, then just simply don't tweet them.
