Edit: It seems this was a knee-jerk reaction to what legitimately seemed like a basic phishing scam. Clunky old FFXI art from Abyssea days. A URL that didn't blatantly state it was redirecting to the official POL site. The timing of the official new installer which could easily be spoofed to have a keylogging kit (or worse in it) if they really wanted to do that, now would be a good time. Remember to always verify where you're getting installers and such from.
