Guild Wars 2

So whenever i DL an update/patch i am always lost as to why the actual size of the patch is not revealed.

My problem is i have 2 internet connections (i live in a very remote location in Alaska) 1 connection is metered internet thats very fast, the other is very slow but unlimited. If i knew ahead of time how large a patch was with actual usable numbers i would know which service to use when i DLed it.

I understand that not many others are in the same odd situation as i am but there has to be others that would appreciate the size being listed.

Maybe someone from Anet could post as to why this information is not transparent ?

Yeah, I’m kinda mystified about this too, especially since most other MMOs that I’ve played put this small but important bit of info right up front when updating.

Maybe there’s some technical reason why it’s non-trivial to do this based on their back-end architecture or something, but I doubt that. It’d be nice if a dev would chime in here with, at the very least, an explanation of why this is absent.
