People being hacked since the last Server Check.

You do realize they can run a packet editor script whether they've activated the game via the launcher or the website with the same effects?
The assumption they're using the site to bruteforce is predicated on flawed logic.

My assumption was only that any limitations presented by the Gamelauncher would not be a limitation at all, a fact which you have so graciously just proven for me. Thank you very much.

The bruteforce idea itself is unlikely, period. It's far more likely to be yet another gap in the security between the (minimum) of three servers you have to pass through to login.

If there's a security gap, then it would reason that more people would be affected at a faster rate.
What makes you believe that a breach is more likely?

Keep in mind that I never indicated that one possibility was more likely than another.
I'm not quite that bold or smug.
