The issue

When some is logging to get another char online he has to put in the data for each restartet client. This becomes very annoying when you for example have to swicth between cyno or miner chars on the same account.

The proposal

Instead of login in with the client we should login with the launcher. There should be a list of all accounts with username, PW and for every account a button to start the client. When you start the PC you fill in the login data and start your clients with the respective button. When you switch between alt chars, close the client and start a new one without logging in every time, because the launcher has you already authenticated.

A more elegant solution, but....
A more elegant solution would be, a swicth to an alt char without restarting a client, but this has obviously some technical disadvantages. I blame CCP. So this won't work in the near future.
