    I would also love this change. I want to be able to take a break and play a different game without having to go through the trouble of logging in again.

    If closing the game wouldnt close the launcher it would mean I could login once per day(after i restart my computer) instead of every time I want to play ffxiv

    Love this option too, but I remember someone saying the launcher isnt a launcher and doesnt work like launchers from other games because you technically open the game when you open the "launcher" its just the login window of the game.

    I hate to necro, but now that we are in the midst of the EW launch and its queue problems, I feel like this is even more relevant.

    Every time anyone gets an error in queue (like error 2002) the game client closes completely, and the launcher as well. I had no less than 5 errors kick me out of queue, so I had to log back into the launcher and use the OTP 6 times just to try and get in and play a single time.

    Queue issues are going to happen during the launch, I understand that, but it's made even more irritating and tedious to have to go through the launcher step every single time as well.

    On the network side of things, I've had issues logging into the LAUNCHER as well during peak times during EW launch, presumably because it's getting hammered by all the people who have to login multiple times every time they get booted from the queue. If we could have the launcher stay logged in and sitting in the system tray, that could reduce load on the SQEX side of things as well.

    An added benefit keeping the launcher open, is that it would handle updates in the background. Those of us who use it via steam would appreciate that, since the steam client does not handle updates to content, only updates to the launcher.

    This is not a problem with the launcher. It is a problem with the game client itself. People are only annoyed that they have to reopen the launcher because the game closes completely after most errors. Rather than "fixing" the launcher they need to change the game client so that it doesn't close every time there's a disconnection.

    I never said it was a problem with the launcher bud, just that our current issues could be made a tiny bit easier if this change was made to the launcher.
