The best thing someone in your situation can do is pick whichever class you want, doesn't matter.. and choose a build and weapon combi that will work well if you just always fire off all your skills when the cooldowns are up or even set up a keyboard/mouse macro. You won't be anywhere near perfect, because the combat in this game doesn't compliment that playstyle well.. but you will find it very relaxing to play and you'll win some and lose some.. just need the right weapons and build. Casual PvE will be a breeze.
Choose traits that add healing to things.. like the necros minion and self drains on all attacks.. or the warriors shout heals and you'll be healing all the time without even trying. Every class has a trait somewhere that allows for this type of thing.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
I think all classes in this are a little more complicated then your standard mmorpg, however the easiest class will always be someones playstyle, objectively classes like warrior could be the easiest but at the same time they can even use guns.
With all the changes coming up and ranger also being made into a healing class 'druid'. With five new pets. It looks like it should be really easy to level.
The only class I would say to stay away from at this point is thief. The Daredevil is getting an extra dodge from what I hear and that's about it. The thief forum is going crazy over how little love they're getting compared to the other classes, so I would say unless you like a real challenge this would not be my first pick until the dust settles.
It really looks like every class will be getting some good stuff except for thief.
3 year vets are also getting level 30 instant scrolls, I've got about three already.
Update: Almost forgot the Daredevils weapon will be a staff.

Games gets boring very quickly and the WVW is VERY lacking. The dynamic quests are just tedious loops. The expansion looks like it does improve the negative things. Anyways the classes are simple to use(and I am a gernade throwing rifle user engineer).
Yea compared to X this game is very lacking. I just don't know what to put in place of the X. Honestly this is probably the best mmorpg ever invented.

Boring? Only Rifle/Grenade?
Grenade Barrage > Flamethrower Kit: Napalm, Flame Blast/Detonate Flame > Elixir Gun Kit: Acid Bomb > Rifle: Blunderbuss, Jump Shot > Grenade Kit: Freeze, Shrapnel, Grenade....until Grenade Barrage comes off CD then rinse and repeat.
for PVE btw.
Thats nealrly the exact rotation i have used on my Engie , and yes its boring .. Every fight feels the same as the one before ... over and over and over ... meh

Leveling is mind numbingly easy in this game does it really matter?
it matters enough, for him to ask the question
it matters enough, for you to show your epeen

Commenting that GW2 isn't a game where your class really matters because its all pretty easy isn't showing your epeen, its telling the truth.
Any game where the class you first choose to level matters is a game headed to the bins of MMORPGs, left to be praised by a few players in forums but played by only a handful of player.

2) Warrior = highes hp pool, drops banners buff might (in pve u kinda suck)
3) Ranger = Pet tank, you deal damage (intead of longbow consider a melee weapon (sword/axe | greatsword))
4) Necro = minions can tank **WHEN** they AI works but not for long. Consider Dagger/Warhorn.
just to repeat this one... Guardian is the easiest class, anyway open world PvE is fairly easy in GW2, but i noticed at OP you mentioned PvP where depends on your playstyle.. Better vissit some sites with meta builds and check in their description which applies better on you .

theyre all heading that way, even the mighty wow
some just go there faster, and with less popularity
the two biggest mmos in the west have class selection

what place is the best classless mmo in?..yea
Sure they have class selection. What I was saying is it doesn't matter what class you pick to level - you will reach max level pretty easy regardless of the class.
