Anyone else just feel ambiguous about this game?

Well I just have to say that GW2 is most definitely a Fantasy MMORPG. I'd rate it somewhere between fine scotch and that white stuff that forms at the corners of your mouth when you're really thirsty.

Ambidextrous is the word.
As I have said, I'm having fun with the game, with my IRL friends, but I can see the writing on the wall. It's definitely not going to hold me for the long haul. In this game I feel more like a wandering farmhand than a travelling hero.
Inbetween Escorts, taking camps or defending camps, I'm fetching lost chickes, prodding cattle, stuffing moss in a jar, chasing slugs with repellent, feeding cows watering corn. Protecting livestock.
The overall Lore or feeling I get as I live out a story is not epic. Only the gameplay itself is. So Once that starts to feel like I've done it all before, I'll be putting it down for a while.
I think you summed up how it was meant to be played. GW2 isn't hardcore, it is casual and should be played as such. IMHO
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Well, just think, some time after the dust settles and the game price drops and you can pick up the game cheap and then you can think to your self.

I've learned that one should never underestimate the power of toboggans.

Just amazing really.
What???
Can't hear what you said.
Were all at the bottom of the hill!
Dont worry, the story starts to get much better, and much more epic. I actually lik ethe way they did the story and kind of build up to it. It kind of starts out with some small scale stuff, winning some people over in your homeland, dealing with some local problems, and sort of working its way up to the real "hero" stuff.
Just seems to make a bit more sense than the usual "The world is about to be destroyed and youre the only mighty hero who can save us all. Now go kill some defenseless animals and pick some flowers for me" cliche story you get in most fantasy MMOs.
