I notice the amount of posts has slowed down a bit, hopefully because it's the middle of the week and the people who have read this have seen their opinion expressed so feel that now all they need to do is wait for answers.
Well Mr. Jagex, this is us waiting...
As I have kept up with this thread since it's inception, I think I am entitled to say I have a pretty good idea of the direction most of the posts go in. Just for politeness' sake, I will say that in the least, the majority of players feel JAG should remain in place and the Authenticator added as an optional/additional security measure dependant on the choice and/or tech capability of the individual user.
Choice is good...
Now, the next question is, are you going to give us a definitive answer? Or do you intend to ignore us and go ahead and force people to add third party apps they neither want or feel they need? There are those of us, ( call us the paranoid majority) that feel that raising the level of security for a game at the expense of the security of the
entire rest of our lives
,( meaning allowing unknown sources access to our virtual lives) is not a good trade off. And if you just do the research, you will see that there might be some good reasons fo us to feel this way. Not to mention the fact that by allowing a third party to be responsible for our security completley muddies the waters of responsibility in reguards to who ends up with poop on their shoes when the blame starts being handed out.
Up to this point 90% of your players have willingly accepted responsibility, or lack there of, for their own account security. You constantly tell us NOT to trust others with our pass words or allow others access to our accounts, and now you are forcing us to pretty much give complete control of said accounts to an outside source. Our ability to access this game will depend entirely on the performance of these apps and their controlling concerns. - continued-
