#3942 - Nov. 11, 2013, 6 p.m.
I’m posting two ticket numbers, though both may be for the same person. Apparently they’re having trouble with e-mail authentication. 1) Request #22378 “Account authentication e-mail”
2) Request #37616 “Account authentication e-mail”
I am convinced that your friend is caught in a cycle where he submits a ticket but never gets a response. Here is what an agent wrote him:
Thanks for getting back to us.
It’s possible that you have placed us on a block/black list. Please check your webmail and/or email client settings to ensure that “ArenaNet [email protected]” isn’t blocked. If you have blocked a similar sender, I would suggest unblocking it as it’s possible that your provider is detecting incoming mail with similar domain and is blocking those as well.
I would also suggest accessing your email directly through the email provider’s web page, and not through a mail reader (such as Outlook or Thunderbird) or a mobile device (such as a smart phone or tablet) since these sometimes do not receive messages that have been flagged as spam. Double-check your spam folder to make sure the message isn’t in there.
You can also set up a filter or “safe sender” in your mail account to prevent our messages from being sent to spam. Please set up a filter for both of the following domains: @ncsoft.com and @guildwars2.com
If your email provider does not have a safe senders feature, adding these emails ([email protected] and [email protected]) to your contacts list may also prevent them from being blocked by spam filters.
Now, at this point, I’m wondering if he needs to disable authentication. This is not a step to take lightly, and obviously we’d need to verify ownership of the account and so forth, before undertaking that step. Would you kindly ask him if that’s the option he wants to take? If so, can he respond to this ticket — #12813 — or does he have nothing to which he can respond? If he can’t respond, then have him create a new ticket — something I very seldom recommend but this is an exception — and have him let the team know of his preferences. Ask that he please include the numbers of all his other tickets, too, as a partial form of verification and as a means for us to close all of them out as we help him.
If I need to relay info, will do so, but hopefully the tips in the email from the support agent will do the trick.
