yep... dynamic IP which I am on with my ISP changes every day or when I reset my router , so I have to do this every day now. cookies are irrelevant plus they did't work on chrome for me if I log on more than once in one day? I had to use IE. But now the launcher is not giving me a OTP now so I have to log on to the web site first to get OTP and then launch the game, it is a JOKE NOW and you are right it is a DUMB IDEA.
