Account Verification

I seriously don't think that after 10 years of playing a game they should ask you to verify your mail and such. I think its just annoying, and even more so because if I don't do it I can't get into certain places. So now I am mad because there are certain things on the pirate ship I was wanting to buy since they are about to be retired. Oh well for me bt I am still not doing it. Just a matter of principle. Say what you want but I have a right to my feelings on this. I almost feel insulted by it. As if they are punishing me like a little kid. Don't do what your told then your grounded sheesh
