I've also been revoked, did not crash, just saw mail on logon.

Btw, thanks for the quick responses!

Oddly, when i Log into the second account, the backup of the first Local.dat stops working. Might be a MacOS issue? with a single account I can create the Local.dat backup, and delete and recover as many times as I like, but once I create a new Local.dat file for a different account, the previously working copy fails to authenticate, citing an incorrect password. Without the -autologin option, I can see that the username and password is correctly populated, but fails to authenticate.

Hi Anet, Support for storing credentials for multiple accounts was recently removed. Is there an alternative or new method to save account login credentials for switching between them? I am currently playing on 9 accounts, and it's quite painful to retype the login credentials each time I wish to switch. I used to happily switch between accounts using the -email -password -nopatchui args, or falling back to duplication of the Local.dat files per account, but that is no longer an option. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments/deprecatedhttps://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2y6s3g/how_do_i_set_up_shortcuts_to_log_into_different/

I think build templates have been severely understated since the launch of this game. I believe that most players have grown so accustomed to the notion of a single universal build for all the content types they play, that they may not see the value that it could offer. As a long time GW1 player, this was a CORE part of the game due to the build diversity. GW2 had much simpler builds and therefore I fully understand why it was not shipped at launch. With the introduction of specialisations, and with the growing diversity in build options, I believe the time is right to bring this in. Two of the professions that most notably require this is ranger and mesmer. Typically these are played as support roles in endgame content, and requires significant time to swapping from support to PvE type self sufficient DPS builds. This is made even more tedious if you have legendary armor which requires a ton of clicking and scrolling through similarly named options in dropdowns. I currently enjoy the wide variety of builds that is playable in the current meta of the game, however it's such a shame that the game does not encourage people to do so. Personally, if i could make a suggestion (and yes its gonna be over the top), is that Anet implements a system for curated build templates. Either ingame interface or some web GUI like an armory, where players can make and share builds for certain purposes (see http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/). The community is already doing a ton of work to come up with creative party compositions such as https://snowcrows.com for raids and https://metabattle.com/wiki/MetaBattle_Wiki for everything else. If you want a reference for what this could look like ingame, see http://www.dota2.com/workshop/builds/overview. There is ofcoarse the alternative of "well this is prolly illegal, but since it exists, use it" option of arcdps build templates, however I am playing on a mac and can therefore not use it. The reality is that those who play at the highest end of the game needed this functionality so badly, that they managed to build it in using 3rd party tools. To my knowledge the QoL features that does not ship with the game is illegal and will get you banned, see http://gw2bgdm.blogspot.com/p/permaban.html. I probably don't have the full picture but it seems kind-of ironic that 3rd party developers who pushed the limits and broke TOS with DPS meters, after huge public outcry, got the amber-greenish light on their software, then after doing exactly the same thing on a different feature, got the big red ban-hammer for a feature that was eventually removed. This means that the only way I will ever see build templates in game is through long boring posts like these :astonished: https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/28336/build-template-system-and-or-dps-metre-get-it-here
