Question on Classes

I'm thinking of playing GW over WOW now that WOW is a little boring, but I found on the website only a couple classes, and a couple skills for each. Is this all the game has, or is that just a sample? Thanks

Not to mention that with every character you get a secondary class, such as a Warrior/Monk, Elementalist/Mesmer, etc. There are quite a few combinations and with 150 skills per class (making 300 for your character when you count the secondary skills) everyone's character can turn out quite different.
Currently:
Playing: WOW & GW
You've got your basic 6.
Warrior / Monk / Ranger / Elementalist / Mesmer / Necromancer
You select one as a primary and one as a secondary, or you can play a pure class.
In all, there are 30 possible combos. Then, yeah, there are numerous spell sets to keep everyone pretty individual.
One other question as you kill things, how do you get your items? I've watched gameplay vids and they never loot anything. So how do you get other items.
Things like weapons and crafting materials (used to make armor among other things) drop off of monsters you kill. You can also be awarded weapons for completing various missions and quests. There are also a lot of "hidden stashes", like treasure chests, along the way.
Armor is a little different. You have to craft it using materials you find, by bringing those materials to an armor crafter in a nearby town.
You can buy all kinds of things from merchants. Weapons, crafting material, dyes for your armor, bags for holding all your stuff (you find a -lot- of stuff in this game), etc etc etc. You find gold to buy stuff in the traditional way - killing monsters, completing quests, opening chests.
And then of course there's quest items, needed to advance to new levels of a quest or to finish a quest.
Oh yeah, and there's also components you can find that you can add to weapons to beef them up (like a bowstring of vampirism, or an axe heft of strength), and you can find runes, which you can apply to a piece of armor to give yourself better skills. Almost forgot about those things.
