You can start the game w/o using Ignite and/or hacks. I use it only to collect the free rewards every 2 hours, there is a settings button in the upper right corner of ignite where you can select the download path for any downloads you might do using Aeria Ignite and also a check box for "Start with Windows" option. I'm using this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zCbooQXv1I it uses up to 3 times less resources than Ignite and helps me remember to get my free rewards ;)

This launcher program is mandatory to play any of the MMO games associated with the company--which has provoked a lot of complaints from the players. Some have developed workaround hacks, allowing them to remove this program and still access their games.
