yay Tit for Tat changes, great to see autologin should have existed from the get go... but removing PC registration is crap.  I would rather have that over OTP

No!

Honestly hate this change. Was gonna do the OTP thingy because I wanted that 5% buff but that is way too many steps needed.

Bring back PC registration or let us 2 step verify with our phones like most other sites and games 

It feels like PC Registration was just a bait for those who don't like to install shady apps. Now if you want to keep your cute 5% drop buff you need to take a "next step" which is installing data gathering app. Playing such games with their players like this is a huge RED FLAG. Especially when the reason provided is: "it's for your safety"  - hard to imagine there are still people around who are not sick of this type of argumentation.

best part: "OTP service is not directly provided by the company. The company is exempt from liability for any damages to members due to the fault of the member or a third party (including the OTP service provider)."

luckily there is a winAuth on github

i did the OTP steps, it says in my account i'm using OTP services and all, still no buff...

So IDK, look like to me they just removed this buff entirely despite it showing up in the icons...

The buff for using OTP is still there!

Does it only say your are using OTP in your account, or do you realy have to generate an OTP when you login to the forum and or the game?

BTW: with autologin enabled in the launcher, you don't have to enter an OTP on every login.

There are many different authentificators you can use!

Maybe some are data gathering apps, but there are also turstworthy apps.
