What's preventing you from coming back to/playing Guild Wars 2?

I have to create a new account to play on Steam? Oh, brother. Such a pain in the ass just to play this game at this point.

You can actually use a non-Steam account on Steam and get all the Steam functionality, minus the ability to buy the game off Steam (Anet mirrors them on their own store anyway).


I get if people would like for it to "just work" though. There's a couple of ways but the easiest is to download the game on Steam and add the following to launch options:

 -provider Portal

Right click GW2 in Steam -> click Properties - > see Launch options and enter the text.

The fact i have to hassle with tickets and customer support proving im the owner because i havent logged in a long while, despite having an authenticator and all that jazz. Like i know where my game key that i bought when the game came out is lol.

Thank you. I went and downloaded the regular client after my initial Steam login discovery. Though the information is appreciated if just slightly annoying I wasted time downloading the Steam version first. :P

Yeah, this is what just happened to me a few days ago. Took almost 2 weeks for CS to contact me. What a hassle.
