Although I do agree that it would be nice to not have the hassle of openin' the login page; do keep in mind that it's there for a reason. Last November, there was a pretty nasty hackin' of our beloved game, so the staff implemented the page, on top of other measures, in an attempt to prevent another hack, DDoS attacks and other baddies.
As for the issues with the page, there are some solutions that many people either do not know about, or simply choose not to do. I don't really see a need for purging the login page.
Agreed. It might be a pain in the butt to deal with sometimes but it at least decreases the chances of hackers by some.
Honestly for me, I would much rather fight that login page rather than have the threat of having my account messed with. It is a pain, yes, but it is there for the greater good.
