I doint see where the op exaggerated,I agree with him for the most part
Actually the OP said very little.
Anyone could say what the OP said about GW2 without even playing it.
It just depends what your gripes with traditional questing are.
If you don't like to kill stuff, well GW2 has lots of killing, although it has a few other alternatives here and there.
If the problem you have with quests is that those quests are just a wall of text and the world doesn't reflect that text, GW2 fixes that - there is no text, you see the quest with your eyes and hear it with your ears.
If the problem you have with quests is that they are a pain because they are solo, so you aren't playing with other people since partying for quests is a pain, GW2 fixes that (although sometimes it can get a bit overcrowded, playing at later hours and more advanced areas reduces the crowding).
If the problem you have with quests is that they follow a linear progression, requiring you to complete the previous to join the next, GW2 solves that, meaning you can play with your friend without worrying who has what quests.
If you deslike the fact that you kill Mr. Boss A 5 seconds ago but since you didn't have the quest yet you now need to kill again, GW2 solves that problem.
If you deslike having to go back and fowards to collect quests and rewards GW2 solves that.
If you hate when you are in an area to do a quest and there are 5 other people competing for kills, GW2 also solves that.
If you dislike the fact lower level quests give you no rewards or challenges, GW2 fixes that
GW2 solves a ton of the problems present in questing and cardbox worlds - there is still loads of killing though. If you are a pacifist, GW2 also solves that - you can level to 80 with a minimum amount of killing by crafting.

This is my first time playing the game but I am very unimpressed with it. It does not even feel like a mmo.
curious as to what you feel an MMO should feel like
I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg

+1 good stuff.. think many who hate this game just hate MMOs or games in general no matter what comes out they will hate it..

I love the game. I have never before used a keyboard to play an MMO (I was a mouse clicker...), but for this game I was forced to adapt... Now I feel better for it. It running very good on my laptop, no lag at all, very good for a Samsung best buy laptop. The events are fun, community great, and I am practically half naked cause I am to lazy to repair armour, which me and complete strangers laugh about. So go ahead, say you don't get the hype. Hype is how you feel for tHe game. And you happened to be peer pressured into following hype, your simply a fool.
So GW2 defence crew has arrived and still they havent provided with the answer i was looking for.
For what I can see, you dont really want an answer, you just want to attack. You come right out of the gate with insults.
You wanna know about the "hype"? I will tell you about it. You see, if you DONT go to forums devoted to MMORPGs.. you wont find the hype. BUT if you go to sites DEDICATED to MMORPGs you will find people talking about the newest one out... aka GW2. And as hard as it is for you to take, ALOT of people on a site, dedicated to the hobbie of MMORPGs, like GW2. This is like going on nfl.com and complaining about all the hype the Giants are getting after winning the super bowl.
tl,dr... if you dont like the "hype", dont go to web sites devoted to mmorpgs.
I find it funny how some people say the game isn't industry changing when it's doing the single biggest change to the industry there is, dropping the holy trinity. Not to mention, it works, and very well. If removing the single biggest mechanic that's commonplace across nearly every MMORPG in existence isn't industry changing, literally nothing can be "industry changing" to you guys... Not to mention the fact that SKILL is now the primary focus of the game, instead of gear. Please, I dare anyone, to actually point out a game where SKILL is truly more important than gear (an mmorpg..).
^This should have been anew topic This has disrail stamped on it!
I suppose I could have started another topic but a lot of people, a lot, have said it's "Not the second coming, Not a game changer, etc" in this topic, a lot.
Funny thing is, I have never seen a post from someone who like GW2 saying it was the "second comming", that came from the people who hate GW2.
Its like you guys couldnt find anything substantial to pin on us, so you had to start making things up...lol
I dont hate the game at all,I enjoy it and will most likely buy it..
its the over exaggeration of words such as this very post that cause an equal reaction.
Yes of course, the OP had absolutly nothing to do with it.
I doint see where the op exaggerated,I agree with him for the most part.
But is horses were steak we would all be eating dinner, so I fail to see the point here.
Besides this is going to slow, were only up to 123 or so posts, work harder guys!

So you logged into an unpoplated server? You do know the game is in fact an MMO?
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Where does all the hype come from? Hmm let me see.
#1 GW1 amassed over 5 Mil+ accounts which is a pretty large fan base which will
carry over to GW2
#2 GW1 was a success leading us all to believe that ANET will build a winner in
GW2
#3 This MMO took 5 years to make a good time for the devs to iron out a lot of details
So far I have spent yesterday and today in beta and GW2 doesn't disappoint it's a fluid
beautiful game full of things too do.....so far I give it a 9.5
