Hi to all!
So basically i wanted to make this topic, for players, that wish to buy the game for friends in the future, to avoid the hell the whole system put me trough.

My problem is : that i bought the game (that is not cheap at all) for 2 of my friends, so we can play togather. (since they themself would not buy it, but would play it)

So i bought the normal edition via online e shop. Sent them the password and stuff, they need to make account, and we did play…for like 2 days. Then they got bored, had other kitten to do, and basically the whole money was wasted on the 2 addittional copy.
After some time, some other friend wanted to play, so i had to write leters and forum and talk with support constantly to make them change the email (for authentication) on 1 of the accounts ( somehow i could not do the second one, because it sead “wrong order number” or something stupid like that.)

Because the stupid security is so kittening tight in games lately, that they destroy you whole time, to set them in correctly and learn 167000 passwords and things, and still get hacked, but you sourself cant even log in. So you need an email , (that you cant even change, even if you have the password and account name) to authenticate yourself at each login, so if you wish to send a copy you have for a friend, you have to change the email adress, whitch is a HELL of a procedure. Seriously took me a week!!!

After that he played like 1-2 weeks and also left the game, saying its boring, combat is simple as a childplay, classes are underdeveloped and so on…So here i was left alone again!!! Wasting a whole week of my free time for nothing.

Anet!!! I have a friend who wants to play (again) but the kittenING HELL i wont buy another copy for sure. Exspecially for that price.
Make players be able to change author on copyes they have. with some, more simple means.
(i dont even want to start on the kitten i been put trough with authentication emails, i did not get for weeks, and had to install the android authenticator)

Give accounts, that buy addittional games a master title and let them manage those accounts in a simple way!!!
(my 2 additional copy is surely lost, the kitten i bought thegame lives in england now, cant even reach him,not like he knows the order number or anything anymore. And so are all the copyes i bought lost!!! so this wont help me personally, but i REALLY want this kitten to be solved in future)

Exuse my terrible english.

The players above have provided accurate information: You may not “pass along” game accounts. You may not share accounts. I am sorry that your friends did not continue to play, but we cannot allow or help you to continually give the account to a new person.

The good thing is that the Guild Wars 2 account will remain active, and the players may decided that they want to come back in the future, which they will be able to do since we do not “retire” older account but leave them in place to allow people to play when they wish.
