Then maybe I would consider that a fair comparison.

Thats what happens when your account gets hacked. You fill out a text box, press submit, and wait in line for a restore. The only thing an authenticator gives you is a warm fuzzy. Several authenticator equipped accounts have been comprimised already, it's by no means even implied to be unbeatable security.

Those without authenticators are sayin something like, "not worth the hassle" or "Idiots, stop d/ling pr0n and getting keyloggers"

Those with authenticators are saying something like "I like me a security blanket" or " OMG if you don't have an authenticator your gear score goes to 0 and you get -50 DKP from missing 2 raids"

Both sides are filled with a share of asses that like to argue blind technicalities and symantics, or total morons (myself included in that description somewhere).

Edit: I forgot to include the people that are in this in this thread, posting all over our faces with 1337 flame skills for lawlz
Keep in mind getting your account hacked also can affect others. Our guild bank was stripped and we are now down 1 raid member for this week and until they get their account back. Sure some blame can be placed on the guild officers for allowing this but this is the perfect example of a trusted person who has not had any issues getting hacked. It can happen to anyone. For me I use an authenticator so I DON'T have to continuously watch where I go, what I do. I know enough to stay away from most places but I know I can hit one on accident.
