Hello. I'm new to Guild Wars. Everyone says it is going to be the next War Craft in terms of popularity. What do you think?

I've been playing Guild Wars 2 for a few days now. Leveling my warrior up he's 41 at the moment. /Age is 48 Hours 40 Mins

What I like: Single Combat
The combat is a mix between typical WoW style tab target, with a dab of dodge from Tera. This make the game fun for me, and is more forgiving unlike Tera. I haven't played any primarily ranged classes so I can not comment on that style. I however do not enjoy so much the Warhammer style grouping for hearts/quests it makes everything seem like a cluster **** with no real sense of order and can be confusing at times to see what your enemy is gearing up to do.

What I do not like: Super Casual Gameplay
While anyone can pick this game up and start playing, the sense of accomplishment isn't really there for me. The Black Lion Trading Co, when its up, is a great tool for selling and buying items. However, at the point in the game items are still fluctuation and do not have much value besides legendary items. Loot has been dropping from world mobs left and right for me, and at 35 I was able to buy my tier 3 that put me flat broke. I was able to soar thru the first dungeon with 4 random people with only one wipe. It really isn't that hard and I haven't tried the Explorer mode yet. To be honest kind of feel like I am playing Borderlands with all of the drops.

Sorry for the messy post, I dont really feel like fixing it but I do hope you get the point,

TL;DR This game will not be the next WoW, however it's accessibility is a great idea and is one step closer to our "perfect" idea of an MMO style game.

i dont' think any mmo will be like the old mmo's. cause they not really making mmo's the same. personally till they go back to mmo's like ffxi (final fantasy 11) i doubt i can ever enjoy a mmo for more then 6months tops. they bore me these days, no full guild/linkshell events, guilds are usually useless less your on vent with the 5-10people that are there. and no events you can spend literally years doing and enjoying. mmo's can talk all they want about making it better for casual play but it's what killing it. i played ffxi for 5years straight. not a mmo after that can i say the same. guess they rather make the quick buck making shotty mmo's over and over for everyone.

this game is all tiem waisted running around. i hate that personally. i'm happy grinding away at mobs like in ffxi over and over. i'm not deluted by things like jumping puzzles or ps3 trophy's inside our mmo's ..i don't do platinum on my ps3 why would i do it for a mmo. but at least gw2 isn't a monthly ..if wanted to waist a lifetime on useless stuff at least its not extra 12bucks a month to do it.

The graphics are pretty gay and the movement is sluggish as shit like you can't turn to save your life...I really dont see this game making it passed 6 months. With that said im just gonna bot it and make a little money off it till it goes cheap status like diablo.
