Guild Wars 2

What the title says. This would obviously save a significant chunk of downloading time.

Yes, they can.
Open the .app with right click contents → resources → transgaming → c_drive → GW2 copy your .dat there.
Done.

Perfect. Was tinkering around after I posted and decided to give that a whirl. Glad to get confirmation that I’m not wasting my time on the copy

Yep! Worked like a charm!

Awesome! I’m going to try this when I get home!

Chiming in to 100% agree with Narai.8079 above. The way he/she described it worked great for me.

Assume this means when you have the PC client version on your Mac. Can you also pull the GW2.dat from a Windows PC?

The GW2.dat is platform agnostic, you can pull it from anywhere. Just dont mess with the Exe. There seems to be a difference from the windows one.
