Log in issues...

When I double click my shortcut to start playing ARR, this is what happens(in order of occurrence).

1st - Launcher is slow to load on my screen and takes approx. 2 mins for the log in area of the launcher to be shown.

2nd - After being able to put in my log in credentials and i'm at the main menu for ARR, the "Start" button isn't selectable. I have to exit ARR, restart the launcher, and log back in. I have to do this about 20 times for the "Start" button to become active.

3rd - After I'm able to click the "Start" button, I will get an error message to come up in red. "Unable to Update NA/EU Character List." This pops up about 10 times and again, I have to exit out of ARR and try the login process about 20 times in order for my character to be seen.

4th - After I can select my character, I get the error 1017 message. A couple days ago, I'd just get placed in a Queue but not any more.

To sum up, I believe ARR has had the worst launch and i'm saying worst than Diablo 3. I remember when 14 1st came out and they had the same problems with logging in. You would think the Devs would just increase server capacity and make a "forced logout after 10 min afk" but no, they didn't. People realized this and will log in and stay logged in creating this problem. The fix is simple and SE isn't doing it. Make a forced log out and 99% of the problems will be fixed.
