bad/dangerous file permissions
Noticed this too. Even GW1 did it.
An incorrect action done with intent is still incorrect. It’s a bug.
I’ve noticed that the launcher strips file permissions from gw2.exe, Gw2.dat, and Gw2.tmp.
This is dangerous, as it allows any user (including unauthenticated users!!) to modify the files.
If I manually correct this, the launcher reverts the changes I made on the next launch.
