BE GUID requests to join private hives

[sarge11111 22]

Our crew was offered the opportunity to join a Whitelisted Private Hive.

Part of the application was that we had to provide our BE GUID.

We asked Battleye and BI if this could compromise our CD Key as well someone else stealing our character and using it for less than fair gameplay:

Hello,

yes, please do not give your Battleye GUID to anyone. Otherwise you risk

it being stolen and later possibly banned. I suggest you look for a

different server to play on.

Best regards,

Tomas Bican

Bohemia Interactive

Battleye has not responded yet.

I apologize if this has already been posted.

You can already see everyones GUID in a server simply by typing "#beclient players" in chat. :/ I assume they are erring on the side of caution because they are worried you will give out your actual CD Key.

Your GUID is advertised to everyone all the time. Every server you join the admin can see it.

bleh Smash beat me to it.

Thanks for the input. I did read elsewhere the BE GUID could not be hacked but me not understanding code and script, I wasn't exactly clear.

Is there specifics on this?

Battleye's response:

"Hi,

no, that's not possible. You can safely tell others your BE GUID.
