Hi ANet and fellow gamers. I would like to suggest on the Game Launcher. Well, it may be a stupid suggestion, but may also be useful for some people (including me).
As you can see now the game launcher (while updating) consists of the percentage(%), Downloading (MB), Download Speed (KB/sec), and Files Remaining. Its nice that we can see the percentage and things while we are waiting for the patch. But in my opinion there should be a minor change in the Files Remaining section.

1. What if the Files Remaining that is shown by numbers, changed to be how many MB of files left to be downloaded.
For example: The Game launcher now shows Files Remaining : 100. Well its not a big number for a patch, but how big is 100? Is it 10MB? 100MB? or 1000MB? Some players may need these numbers to predict the time needed for patch. If its too big, some people may not be able to leave their computers on while they are out. If its too big, maybe they can ask for their friends for a copy (I don’t know if this is systemically correct, but I prefer to copy the GW2 files from my PC to my laptop rather than patch both computers). Maybe its better to see the Files Remaining as in MB.

In short: Files Remaining: 100 changed to Files Remaining: 150 MB (example)

2. What if the Game Launcher provides “auto-shutdown after patch” just like the Auto-Play?
Again, probably this is a stupid suggestion, but some people may not be able to leave their computers on while they are out or asleep. Patches like Halloween and Lost Shore requires a big big patch (1GB and 600MB if I’m not mistaken). This is the solution for them. They do not need to worry about leaving their computers on because the launcher will auto-shutdown the computer itself after the patch.

This suggestions do not come only from myself, but also from my fellow GW2 players. Especially from my country, we still do not have the access for a high-speed internet. My download speed is about 300KB/sec. So, yeah, probably we should discuss about this together not only from me, but from you guys as well.

Thank you!

PS: I attached an image to see the Game Launcher clearly while patching.
Sorry for the bad English. :P
