Post a patch that happened while I was away on business, the Guild Wars 2 autoplay feature no longer by-passes the persistent and insistent "Validate Your Email Address" request. With the 7 days of BS I endured after authentication was turned on en masse, leaving me locked out of my account shortly after launch, there's no way in hell I will ever touch the Send button again. With this recent change, I'm now forced to click cancel every time I log into the game. Boo! Hiss!
I preferred it better when autoplay ignored this question and simply executed “play” after the 3 second countdown. Not sure if this is a nerf or a fix. Whatever it is, in my case, it's now annoying.
Dear ANet,
I will purchase a security token device when/if you provide one like I did for World of Warcraft. I’d even opt-in for a mobile phone application of some sort. However, I have permanently and irrevocably, parted ways with your email authentication system.
That's right - NEVER EVER GONNA TOUCH IT OR ENABLED IT ON ONE OF MY ACCOUNTS AGAIN. Hell, I try not to even look at it. Fooled me once and oh how it burned. Won’t get to fool me twice.
Sincerly,
Scorched
