I've watched a couple of Beta videos (mainly TB's) and am also considering to buy the game. My only concern is in regards to combat and would appreciate some feedback from those who are playing.
Cheers.
I'll probably spend an extensive time on the character creation screen for my Asura (main), then hop on to sPVP to check out the new map. I'm trying my best to avoid spoiling content, which I'm reserving for the headstart.
When compared with subscription-based MMORPGs, the amount of time-sinks in GW2 are noticeably minimal. I found gold sinks to be moderate and well implemented.
