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
Seriously? That message comes up every time you log into the game now? Yikes. I'm so glad I didn't bother with the "extra layer of security." Perhaps ANet can remove this "feature" from your account if you ask them (it might be worth a try even though we both know they're not likely to do it).

It's more scary than annoying actually. My cursor ends up of the SEND button based on clicking from the previous screen. I'm TERRIFIED I'll click send by mistake and re-start the authentication log in pain train all over again!
