ok, so my hunting skills are failing me at this time. i did try to find it. why did they make it so you can only log in via Arc? its quite an unnecessary hassle if you ask me.

There's a stickied thread about it in this forum section, though it is a lot of pages. There's some information on the first couple of pages though that should sum it up.

Short version is, nobody really knows the entire truth on why they did it, but PWE has said it was due to security issues/suspicious activity on Arc accounts. Of course, there's plenty of speculation from players as well but most of that has been denied.

Also, while it does say "temporary" in that thread, it has been several months since this was put in place, so it's quite unlikely that they'll reverse the decision. There were talks about being able to multiclient within Arc (without using Task Manager to close/open Arc) but nobody's heard anything about it for a long time.
