I figured out what was causing this on my end. When the system patches at launch it creates 4 files and a folder on your desktop. If you delete those the launcher will do a complete download for your patch.I tested this yesterday, on a hunch, and with those files in the Recycle Bin the patcher created 5 new files/folder on my desktop and said there were over 160000 files to download. I immediately bailed out of the patcher, deleted the new files on my desktop and went into the Recycle Bin to restore the original files.As soon as the patcher launched the Launch button became active and no download started.I dont know if there is an alt solution to this for those of us that hate clutter on our desktop so any more information to get around this would be appreciated.

That assetsrv + IP:port fix doesnt do anything anymore and there should have been more info in the instructions. This is NOT for the shortcut that the game puts on your desktop. That is not editable even as administrator. You actually need to create a shortcut by right clicking the default icon.Even if you do the fix above the GuildWars2 login window comes up and nothing happens. I get a "working" blue spinning circle when the cursor is over the window but there is nothing in the window but the GW2 logo. Nothing downloads.It seems as if every time I log in the patcher is downloading the entire client not just a patch. You can't tell me that each time I login I am getting over 150MB and 160,000 files for a patch. This is getting really old.
