    I wonder about people who don't like this game.I wonder what race they play. The areas they have been to. And how many classes they have tried.

    Guild Wars 2 is a complete success, and I think they did exactly what they claimed they were going to do: redefine the MMORPG genre, while making it more fun, and at a cost that is accessable to anyone looking for a long term investment.

    What's not to like?

    Well I was a bit ´meh´ at first too. Any new MMO takes time to get into. Some area´s start off boring and graphically unappealing, some classes start off unappealing, and people probably get confused when they unlock all their basic skills at lv 5 and think ´is this all there is?'. I hated WoW until level 15, 20 and even then it was relatively boring at times. It grew on me, I learned the game, and played it a ton in the end with great joy.

    I like many others was expecting that old WoW feeling again, something amazing, new, fresh, like going back in time. But that's not how GW2 works. GW2 is absolutely amazing in it's own way. You have to put WoW on the side and learn about GW2 to fully appreciate it. Skill combo's. Weapon sets. The crafting. The cities. The landscapes later on. And I think many don't give the game that chance, causing them to miss out on something amazing.

    At least that's what I think.

    I agree with you, I have no idea why people do not like this game but I really don't care because I am having a blast. I haven't played a game that has got me this excited since wow, and its a great feeling. I am really looking forward to experiencing all of the content that the game has to offer, and since I am not paying a monthly subscription fee I am free financially to pay a sub fee for another mmo that might come along that tickles my fancy.

    I have played the game ~15 hours, tried norn elementalist, human thief and charr warrior. I can't explain exactly what it is with this game, but I'm just not having any fun playing it (even though I did like GW1). I obviously haven't reached the higher levels yet, but in the relatively short time I've played the game seemed way too easy. Also, the camera annoys me.

    From a 10+ yr UO player and ULTIMATE WoW Hater (not a fan of Popeye-looking kiddie characters), my MMORPG world has been saved! GO GUILD WARS 2! It is only going to get bigger! So far so good!

    Also depends on the person's purpose for playing. The mentality of rushing to max level for bragging rights isn't going to help them with sticking to the game (which is a good thing as it weeds out those sort of players away from the player base). Collaboration is a very important aspect in this game that I thoroughly enjoy, whether it is in WvW or lending a hand to a stranger in finishing off a mob quicker.

    Wait till you reach the first dungeon and then you'll be complaining about how it's too hard ;-)

    My biggest complaint with the game is it feels like there is no strategy involved in combat. Everybody just goes in with guns blazing. The stuns, blindings, and stealth moves for a thief feel practically useless. That being said, this game has the most indepth crafting I've ever seen in an MMO. That is something SWTOR completly overlooked. The real joy of his game ,though, is getting out an losing yourself in the world. There is so much incentive to just go out and roam. Anybody who is level 80 by now has totally missed the point of this game. GW2 is about questing and the journy to the top, not the end game.

    Easily best MMO available today from my perspective as well. No sub fee is a huge bonus, I would pay a sub fee for this game.

    The pvp is quite good too, once you get used to it.

    I like guild wars to even if I have had some major problems with turning in quests and doing some of the dungions.

    " graphically unappealing"
    You serious? Guild 1 and 2 remain one of the best art styles around. Even more so with GW2. The game is simply gorgeous.

    What I mean here is that a few starting zones look really boring by night. Without the big blooming lights, textures look very bland. Daytime on the other hand, everything looks fantastic. The art style itself is amazing, read the last part of my previous post.

    About the graphics I have to say that I started off with sylvari and I had to stop it and start over with humans. The enviroment is a bit confusing if it's your 1st time , and the whole plant based scenery doesn't really help.

     

    I really recommend starting off with humans if you're new to GW2 or to MMO, since it looks more familiar and natural. Maybe norn too, but I haven't played that race yet.
