The trade post is back up and running smoothly
The end game has pleanty to do
The earlier level boss fightings open world give level 80 gear if you are level 80 and participating
The store is open
The mail system is working
I'm no longer on overflow servers every second
That just about covers everything I've read in these forums the past few days from those hater posts trying to down the game's launch.
What will they talk about now I wonder.

Oh no! Now they will come and say that ... that ........ that GW2 will fail because .....because there is no housing in the game. Here, gave them a subject to ...
/discuss
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Will give you a topic
.. Does the endgame outside of PvP have plenty to do long term .. 2 months, 4 months , 6 months down the line ?
But seriously .. just a week into release it's a bit earlier to judge the longevity of the endgame
people always complain about launch issues thats just the way it is..
GW2 launch was not the worst I have seen, but certainly was the worst this year.. its good they have spent the time to get the issues sorted.
As for the game itself i find it boring as hell but we all like different things. its pretty obvious that you love GW2 and good for you..
I accidentally deleted a legendary rune last night because the "delete" button on the screen was too close to the inventory window and it didn't pop up a "confirm" button... it just flat out deleted the legendary rune...
can I hate on them for that?
For the earlier lvl boss fightings, does that mean the dragon fights that drop treasure chests? Only world bosses I have fought are the dragons, not sure if I missed some along the line. If I have is there a website or wiki that lists all the world bosses?

Really, there is no point in endgame when you just get scaled down. heres my list of complaints.
I hate the grinding quests from the beginning.
stupid teleporting transportation, no mounts.
Dotted useless crap on the world map when u walk.
Overflow bs.
everybody can heal. no dedicated healers. no tanks
5 skills( maybe more)
No raid dungeons
lame cutscenes with your character talking. old manly woman voices
the list goes on and on......................
-Tradepost is still "Down for Maintenance" on Yak's Bend.
-How would you know, are you there yet? I ask because there are only a handful of players at "End Game".
-Store almost never went down.
-Mail system was down for a day.
-That's due to less people being in that area you're playing in, and moved on or haven't gotten there yet.
The Theory of Conservative Conservation of Ignorant Stupidity:
Having a different opinion must mean you're a troll.
Well, since you really are baiting for problems and you sound like your the type that makes the game out to be some holy graal outside of the start up issues... I'll bite and bash away for laughs. Took out the 'posative' side just ffor you to make it sound mor hater to make up for rampant fanboy-ism.
1.) Heart Quests are just compressed normal quests from other games. Nothing new here.
2.) Events designed to 'influence' the world do very little. There are rare cases where it does something but its never a big deal and typically you will see it reset so quickly.
3.) Level 70? Time to go ring around the rosey in a zerg for those last 10 levels!
4.) Grind Grind Grind that gear at 80 that does very little for you. It helps a little but mostly its for visual bedazzle. Woopie, I feel like wasting hours and hours for that! /sarcasm.
5.) Combat clunkiness. It can't make up its mind if it wants to be an old school mmo or an action mmo. So much fidgetting and the likes and plenty of 'wtf is my character shooting at' moments to come!
6.) Easy combat? What but I thought I had to dodge? Its all so easy if you know how to kite a bit, more so about 'killing first' then actually 'skill'.
7. Event boss time? Press the 1 key and go afk. I use this time typically to go make me some waffles as my character shoots away.
8.) Trading post is infact still bugging out a bit and still has kinks.
9.) Repeat a point about to simulate having more choices as OP did despite not really giving another point.
10.) Repeat part 9 once again.
11.) Party Glitchin still goes itchin!
12.) Personal Story can go awesome to super flakey real quick... and often times stay on the crumby side. Who the hell is this tree guy and how does everyone apparently know him and respect him despite suddenly coming in?
13.) WvW woes exist and kicking.
14.) Collection has a bad case of ADD. Sometimes it takes items and other items it just shuns away. Inconsistant as all could be.
15.) Sorry, tnew build you gotta restart, hope you weren't just about to finish something *GM troll face*
16.) Player character could take notes from gordan freeman. Maybe he is cocky as well but he sure as hell doesn't go blabbing out about it all the time.
17.) God damn it I used steal and got stuck in a damn object again.
18.) Why did you go damn invulnerable mob right before I was about to kill you? What the?
19.) Why did I use the skill twice in a row without meaning to? What the...
20.) Oh look, another plant to harvest that is to high level for my weapon despite the other tools being just fine... eat it consistency!
21.) Oh boy, pvp stuff is kept on the normal inventory, I gotta bother with annoying pvp lockers rather then having a seperate and unique inventory, yay!
22.) Hurray I got all of my weapon skills now at level 2, I can't wait till I use them all the way from 1-80 with nothing new added!
23.) Nothing says skill based like "Random" effects and hoping I get one I need to live.
24.) That home section, whew so amazing, it looks just like some instanced place that I have no control over, almost like its not a home at all!
25.) This jumping puzzle would be a lot easier if it animated smooth and it didn't look so inconsistant getting places it didn't seem like I could reach with the animation and finding funky little parts that 'reach' despite seeming like it wouldn't work graphically.
Yes, I had great fun making this list. Its fun being a hater I must say, even if I neglect facts just like a fanboy does to deny its flaws. Topics like this are just silly, you complain about haters yet your virtually no better then them, heck your both the same person just on two seperate sides of the same coin. Lots of nit picking and no posatives mentioned but again, the thread was asking for me to be the ignorant hater, much like the ignorant fanboy would be.
Bingo. I can t remember a game so highly anticipated, then released that made me after a few days, think wow this sucks. I made it alot longer in SWTOR, before I thought that. The ring around a rosie thing you said, is basically the game in general, outside sPvP. It feels like thats all you re doing.
Then you haven't been reading much, no offense OP. Also, please, do not call everyone that says something neagtive about the game a hater.
So, here are some of the "complaints" many have had about GW2. Some of these are mine, some aren't, so remember that this isn't necessarily only me, and the fact i've only played beta:
- Lack of a sense of progression as you level up, and most at 80.
- The graphics aren't that great
- Dynamic Events aren't that special or different from normal quests
- Personall Story is quite meh
- WVW is filled with zerging
- Dungeons can bea hit and miss
- Many events in Orr are bugged
- Zhaitan is a disappointment
- Etc
There's always be criticsm over many different feature with any game and mmo. The problems you pointed are just soem of many.
BTW, keep in mind i'm not hating the game either, ok?
I don't understand threads like this - well, actually, I love threads like this for entertainment value. Are you trying to bring attention to the game for new people? I'm sure you are aware of how loved/hated GW2 is on this forum.
No more Overflow system, is just because they have less people playing.
Pleanty to do at endgame, ok can you make a list? so far is all about grind karma and dungeons over and over like any other MMO before, an do everything that you already did before, dont forget that. And the ¨endgame¨ is still bugged and broken btw.
End game has plenty of grinding. Being in Orr a couple days and people have already settled into a grind zerg pattern. Theres like 100 events in these zones and people only want to cycle through 8 of them endlessly.
The chance of you getting a level 80 Exotic from Shadow Behemoth is probably as likely as being struck by lightning.
Yes, the Store is open, so you can give ArenaNet money for their excellent service.
Correct again on mail.
If you arent on Overflow servers then you obviously arent in a capitol city or a starter zone.
People will probably talk about the many problems that are still present in GW2.
Just logged onto my level 80 and the first event I run into on Orr .....yes, thats right, bugged.
Let me recap:
nope just responding to nonsensical threads i've seen since the SECOND day of head start in these forums. It's amazing the things people come up with to bash a title with just because they happen to be fans of TSW TERA SWTOR and their history shows it well.
Just saying, they'll do anything and everything in these forums on this site to bash on a successful game title.
I did forget to list one thing. The evidence I've collected of large numbers of TERA and TSW players migrating to GW2 for both the PVE and personal storyline. They're saying the same things in map chat, that those other titles weren't good titles so they are having a blast over in GW2. I have to say this isn't surprising.
Oh and just because you don't LIKE the content end game for GW2, the fact that it's there and completed at launch is what the main point of this thread was. People kept saying they doubted it was finished, it is.
And it's the equivolent at launch of four out of the five WoW main game and expansions. Can you imagine what will come out next for their expansions at Anet? 
Nope. Taking a break before going to my Dr's Apointment. The only other times i'm here are when i'm eating because i can't play and eat at the same time, need more hands in this game because of it's better combat.
Lol, interesting. I ve seen alot of, this game isn t as good as I thought chat, in game. Sure theres some that say it s the best ever, but it s getting less and less daily. The flaws are starting to come out. My guild was 25+ daily the first 3 days, yesterday we had 2, and I was 1 of them, who really doesn t like the game.
You remind me of Chris Crocker.
"Leave GW2 alone! *sobs*"
Other than that crazy guy who started a thread called "We need GW2 to fail", can you provide evidence of these "nonsensical" hate threads?
And you're at max level? Really now? O wait you read a couple bad posts and watched a video.
/pro
The "Youtube Pro": Someone who watches video's on said subject, and obviously has a full understanding of what is being said about such subject.
you just named one of them. I'm sure if you simply click on GW2 forum general you'll see a large number of them there with the common theme, "fail" "i tried" "last hope" "will it die like SWTOR" "really wanted to like it" the large list goes on. It's not difficult really, notably since these started the second day after head-start.
right unless he's canadian and had his guild give him mats for crafting i doubt he's 80 as well. doesn't even have a signature.
They are personal opinion's though and if someone has a different opinion that doesn't agree it doesn't mean they are bashing the game.
I don't like Country and western music .. but it doesn't mean country and western is bad but just thay my own taste's differ .. The problem arise when people turn around and then say " You are wrong for not liking country music " as if the only correct mindset is the one they hold.
