My problem is with the classes.
There isn't anything wrong with them per se. It's just i can't get attached to any of them. None of them give me that same feeling other games have done. when ever i've tried to get a decent weapon setup that i like, i dislike the playstyle / abilities that are tied into such weapons.
There are usually only 2 things that keep me playing games, and that is enjoying my class and PvP. Since i can't enjoy my class, i can't even get into the PvP.
More a personal problem then one with the game though.

Self-pity imprisons us in the walls of our own self-absorption. The whole world shrinks down to the size of our problem, and the more we dwell on it, the smaller we are and the larger the problem seems to grow.
The part in red always amuses me. CHANGE SERVERS TO ONE THAT ISNT FULL. Problem fixed. Common sense FTW.
As for the xploration stuff.... I can grab a map of my state, or the US and easily see the locations and routes to any city I want. Doe sthat mean there snothing to check out and enjoy along the way? BTW if youre going to the points just to unlock them, and not actually paying attention to things along the way, enjoying the scenery, checking out what NPCs have to say, etc.... youre kind of missing the whole point of "exploring" and its clearly not what you want anyway.
Chuckle. Note: there is NO CHARGE FOR THIS SERVICE. (Speaking to WoW players who may be used to hearing the "KaChing" every time they punch the cash register). AND IT'S NEARLY INSTANT, TOO.
Damn I hate all-caps nonsense. Please let's not do it any more.

C'mon now, I expect better from you, sort of like telling people they enjoy perma death game play that they are free to delete their characters whenever they die, you know it doesn't work that way.
The game play mechanics/rulesets have to be evenly enforced on every player for it to make any sense at all, and travel times are instrumental to creating immersion in a virtual world style MMOs.
But GW2 isn't one of those is it? More of an extension of the game environment created by the first title when you think about it.
Which is fine since their goal was to create a fun game, just not so great if someone was hoping for a more virtual world experience. (they are in the wrong title in that case)

Maybe, just maybe a person's guild/friends all play on a particular server so this might not be a viable option.
Overlooking the obvious FTL.

Well said, GW2 might be the epitomie of the current evolutionary line of modern theme park MMO's begun back by WOW (OK, EQ 1 for you purists) but it also represents the road not taken.
There are so many other design choices discarded with this model along the years, yes, I know, because they weren't "popular" with the largest subset of gamers, so if you like this sort of design, you're in heaven I'm sure.
For the rest of us, not so much.

Chuckle, I know that 'hardc0re' idiots, the ones that consider transit time=difficulty, are probably silly enough to consider jogging everywhere, whether its required or not.
Sandbox fans, on the other hand, want to 'see the world'...exploring and wandering are still present, if/when you want them to be. I've actually been doing little else over the last week or so

Well, the limits placed on the WvW in terms of queues could be argued as "sucking", but then again, not many titles have ever dealt well with larger numbers so they can be forgiven for this flaw I suppose.

Well now, i suppose they couldnt possibly transfer too... oh wait.
I keep seeing people complain about the queues. If theyre such a huge problem and something thats ruining the game for so many people, I would think they would be happy to move to a server that doesnt have the queues.
The daily reseting is only Temp isn't it ?
Andit's to soon to comment on the cash shop .. it's only been a week so we will have to see what the future holds in terms of what they do end up selling.
Get all of them to transfer with al lthe issues there have been in GW2 and transfers ? err how about no..
The server was not full when we started btw
So, haters are filled with stupidity, huh?
Ok, dude, whatever. I don't hate the game at all. Have my gripes, don't think it's that great, but still liked it in beta.
But this is really funny. We all make dumb comments at some point. There are troll and hater posts that make me facepalm.
On the other hand, there are fanboy posts that make me do the same, like when someone tries to call out haters by saying they "ooze stupidtiy" before anyone gets a chance to comment.
And here I thought I was the only one having a similar issue. Now for the thread, I haven't read every post, but the individual stories are total crap. At least in SWTOR you get choices that earn you light/dark points. It at least gives the impression that choices matter. Here you get a few choices at character creation and... No more that I've seen.
Again. Not true.
If you bothered to actually play the game. You will see that your actions and conversation heavily influence Charm/Honor/Ferocity alignments.
So please stop spreading misinformation
You make choices during your personal story as well, they matter and story takes different routes based on them. Haven't played SWTOR but as story was it's main selling point I'd imagine they did it better. Not that it's bad in GW2.

Ah finally you have reached this stage, most of us MMO veterans are in this stage. And by veterans I mean us who have been around since UO, or maybe EQ 1, launch.

Actually I dont recall your choices in SW:TOR impacting your story. They only impacted your companion loyalty and your light/dark side, which in turn only affected what gear you could craft/buy. Bioware single player games did branch based on decisions but I never saw that in SW:TOR.
If GW 2 stories actually branch based on your choices, then that is an improvment.
