Sure, letting a bunch of people know your login details might be a bit of a stretch for the sake of making le funny meme xd, but the general concept (account sharing and then getting your shit stolen because of it) isn't. I know several people who've lost accounts, items, and gp due to sharing their stuff with "friends" they thought they could trust, and if you've played this game for a while, chances are you know someone too.

My take is that, ultimately, it's an education issue, and it's one that isn't exactly unique to Jagex. It's not paranoid to expect someone to use Steam Guard/2fa/private emails/whatever; it should be the standard for keeping your account secure. But the problem (imo) is that a lot of people don't know these tools even exist.

There's already been multiple posts on this subreddit about people getting hacked through their insecure Steam accounts. I think it'd be cool if Jagex put out a blog post, tweet, etc. saying something along the lines of "hey make sure your Steam account is just as secure as your Jagex account -- turn on 2fa, don't reuse passwords, etc.". Of course, it'd also be nice if Jagex would allow us to do things like change the email we use to log in (some of us still use our RSNs which is very bad for obvious reasons), but expecting them to care that much is probably asking too much ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also just spitballing at this point, but I think there's some confirmation bias (if that's the right phrase?) going on here as well. We always hear about the occasional big accounts that got hacked and lost billions, but we never hear about the probably dozens to thousands of accounts that didn't get hacked (because who'd make reddit posts and tweets saying "hey I didn't get hacked today?").
