Guild Wars 2

Is there anyway to disable IP verification on my account? I travel for work and can at times have 20+ IPs in a day. This can cause my to have to reauth 4+ times daily depending on my free time. It is very aggravating. I get how it helps protect my account but I would rather go without.

Thanks in advance,

I believe if you set up the mobile authenticator it will only ask for a code instead of having you go to your e-mail.

Does your work have a VPN client? VPN clients usually stay in the same IP Address ranges.

No I am using Wi-Fi at public locations (Starucks, Hotels, ect.), I cannot use a corporate network for gaming.
I cannot use an app like that on my company phone either. I would just prefer to remove the option from my account instead of having it forced on me.

Sadly, it is against the ToS to use places such as an Internet Cafe to connect to Guild Wars 2.

Regardless, if you wish to disable email authentication, you would have to discuss the issue with CS.

Good luck.

This is not an internet cafe and if they want to restrict what providers I may use they can refund my money as that is bogus.

Customer service would not disable an option like that, you’re simply just going to have to deal with it.

Inculpatus Cedo I think you misread the user agreement. I reviewed the section you mentioned and the intent there is for “gaming center” type setups where you say rent access to a computer and play the games they have installed.

Chase, I submitted a ticket so we will see, but likely you are right.

I’m surprised you have to auth 4+ times a day…do you play during your work day?

Either way, as Chase suggested, the mobile authentication may prove easier for you if logging in to email is such a hassle.

Besides your request being a HUGE security issue, if you used the Mobile Authentication it would be easier to authorize and provide you with BETTER account security.

Mobile computing does have a cost in terms of security and Anet has chosen not to compromise on the Security side. My opinion is that it is the correct choice.
