Guild Wars 2

Recently (in the last 3 days) I’ve encountered two issues within the game.

1. Forced authorization on every login.

I used to ignore the “please verify your email” option, but 3 days ago the “Play” button wouldn’t light up unless I verify my email. Since then, every time I tried to log in I got a message “you are on a new IP, please authorize this login”. I am with AT&T broadband, and I have not had my IP changed in the last 3 days. Is there a way to turn off these annoying authorization emails?

2. Diminished Return kick in fast

I started to play in Cursed Shore several days ago. Tried to farm ori ore, but being a new 80 in greens and playing solo, it has been difficult. So I am focusing on events. There are some event chains that I do (Plinx), and along the way I normally can pick up events in arena too. However the dimished return has been kicking in really fast on me. In about 1 hour doing these events (roughly 2 rounds), DR kicks in. Today DR dropped on me after only about 40 min of play.

Normally I’d play my alt for 30 min, then back doing these events again. Today I just went out to look for ores and stood idle after that — for about an hour. When I resumed doing these events, I noticed DR has increased on me as if I was doing these events all the time.

I need some help on this issue. I’ve heard DR has been bugged for some players, am I so lucky to be one of those few? I don’t think DR should ever kick in in 1 hour of play, no matter how many events I do in that hour. Plus, if I stand there doing nothing for 1 hour, DR should’ve gone away. As it stands now, I don’t know what I am supposed to do.

Thanks.
