Ok,
Don't know about you, but getting booted from game and spending a long time
getting back in game is getting old. Getting booted/lagged while in a spawn,
I need to get back IG fast. With the current Turbine issue with Auth servers etc, I changed ACQLaunch so it will keep trying to get me back into game.

Note: You will have to close ACQLaunch if you give up in getting into game.
If you don't it will continue to work at getting you to the character (pick a toon) screen.

Isn't this the guy who can't spell? Who wrote 'Tings'? (Things maybe?!?)
No way will I trust you with my account information.

Now if Dual Client were upgraded to do the same function, that would be great.

'Upgrade' Dual Client to beat it's head against a broken Authorization server?
This sounds like the post from the guy who wanted a plugin written to show the health bar in different colors because his 50 dollar monitor was broken!
This problem, although very frustrating, is not intentional, is not Turbine's problem, and is temporary.

In general spamming the servers is a *bad* idea. Trying to spam the auth server to get back online could very well be making the situation worse. Causing more processing on an already overloaded system is just asking for trouble. You should more carefully consider these things before enabling features like this.
This is the exact reason why Turbine changed how ID packets worked in the past.

Except Turbine has been saying that we should "keep trying" to get in, with the current state of the servers.

the difference being is that Turbine isn't intending on people creating automated software that will spam the servers in an attempt to get in.
Automation can do things that normal human usage cannot.
I agree with parad0x on this in that spamming the servers is a bad idea and can actually end up making the situation worse, not better.
This is temporary and it really doesn't call for the need to create an application or an extension on an application to automate spammed logins.

Yup I did consider load it might put on Turbine servers.
Technically flooding is the issue not spamming. It should be noted that delays are present so it is not flooding server(s).
It is only "spamming" if an error occurs while trying to log in. This is what I would be doing trying to get back IG after lagging out in a dungeon. Just saves typing. Is it faster then what human can do? Yes.
It is not fast enough to cause issue with turbine.
Releasing this feature was borderline in my opinon but it does provide Buff Bots who use ACQLaunch crash recovery a chance to get back into game.

I'm really not liking the direction Flipo is taking with his thought process.
I'm understanding more and more how important the Decal code of ethics is.
Unfortunately I am one who used to walk all over it with disrespect. We all grow and learn as time goes by I guess.

Mrflipo for one reason or another seems he/she has taken a dislike to you and will slam anything you say/do.
Best thing you can probably do is just totally ignore anything he posts on your topics.
How anyone that has written and continues to write macros to help destroy the economy and then has the nerve to question someone else's ethics is beyond me.

I agree that spamming the servers is a bad idea. However this method won't work any faster than Turbines own laucher could do it manually, so it's not really spamming.
However I also believe that two weeks is far more than enough time to isolate a problem thats as widespread as this login problem is.
When I was designing, building and installing Servers and networks. I didn't get to go home until a problem was fixed (if it was this major).
If I'd not fixed it within 24 hours we'd replace the whole system.

I'm afraid Asheron's Call has passed out of the realm of profitability and is now being run 'on the cheap'.
Trying to get in to play this game is so difficult now, that I feel they should just give it up if they are not willing to invest the time, money, and resources that would provide even a modicum of 'customer service'.

You mean, not willing to invest the money WE pay, back into the game.
