Thats why you have 8 classes and level however you like in whatver zone that is equal or lower level than you doing pretty much anythiing you wan to.
Thats why every MMO like that has 1000 subs and not even you play them lol
FOR many of us mmorpg players fun in mmorpgs is about maxxing out characters, grinding/farming and obtaining the best gear that no one else have and beeing competetive in pve/pvp. In guild wars 2, everyone has everything, everyone is powerful as everyone else. So yea, no thank you.
You want simple fun, casual friendly game that you play for few hours a day when you come from work?
BUT gw2 is not for hc players or competetive players who seek progression, hard pve, gear farming, etc.
Thats right, only your skill can raise you over anyone else, not gear.
Any problems with that?
If you really are auto-attacking everything on a d/d ele (think you said that's what you're playing) to death, then you must not have played much or are backstabbing everything when someone else has aggroSince you never got into wvw I guess you can't talk about taking on 1v2 or 1v3 - sounds like you couldn't get away from the (zerg) group mentality, where culling exists, and branch off to small teams or even just 2 or 3 players with you. Too bad, because that is where most of the skill in game is for me. PvE gets tough when you lose a player or carry bad players through dungeons, that's about it.
For that I play COD or Dota 2
hah, dont think I care about skill, playing mmorpgs for 10 years, moba games for 2-3 years and played cod professionaly for 3 years. so yea, lol.
Anyways in GW2 even the vanity gear/items are easy to obtain. There is nothing hard to obtain, maybe It soulds weird but I wont play mmorpgs where everyone even his grandmother have same gear like me who plays 10+ hours a day.
Working at things I enjoy is fun.
Besides I can be hardcore and highly skilled to and Google image search.

Dont get me wrong, gw2 is awesome mmorpg but not for hc players who seeks grind/farm maxxing out character, etc.
And I sold the acc for decent amount of money so I dont regret it that much
Really?
I have 668 screenshot of this account in my GW2 screen folder, if you want any, just let me know 
Yeah, the open world PvE is far too easy. It was just right in the first beta week (as was the personal story) but people whined and they made it too easy. I never seen a dragon event fail since and that tells me that it is too easy.
Dungeons are about right though.
Culling is annoying but I have little problems with it unless I play the most busy hours of the day. But my net and my computer is fast so it might lessen the problem for me.
It is still the best MMO around today, but I really want then to crank up the difficulty to get it closer to GW1. I miss Jeff Strain, he knew how to make things hard.
Heh, have to jump in here now. I have an ele (level 77, getting there!) that runs double dagger/ dagger-focus/ staff in WvW and it's a blast. I've found that attunement dancing really makes a big difference when you consider all the buffs you apply to allies around you in doing so.
But, mesmer is my favorite still. So amazingly versitile and nuanced.
Oderint, dum metuant.
Tier 1 WvW. All the challenge and PvP you can eat. Never played Conan, can't compare, but T1 WvW is nuts right now.

You are both making the misstake of confusing easy and casual. GW1 is casual but still hard.
GW2 unfortunatly listened to whiners and made the game too easy after the first beta weekend, and they should increase the difficulty again (PvE).
They should not add more grind, those laurels are bad enough. More difficulty less grind like the first game is the right way to go. And yeah if you suck that means more time to get good stuff but if you play well you can get a lot in a short time.

I want everybody to get a good clear look at this thread, then read each got damn post, each, that's what I do majority of the time and it's how and why I see true intentions.
Then we get asked...
Why?

When, in the last 5-6 years, was an MMO released which was not casual? Only one's I can think of are indy, sandbox, PvP games like Mortal Online and Darkfall.
MMO's are mainstream now and triple A developers are in it only for the money so to be able to do that they need to cater to as many people as possible, which means catering to the lowest denominator. Hence the never-ending stream of casual MMOs...

He will never comment again. He has "69" posts and that for some is all that needs to be said. o.O
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
Oh, nope.
Never ever think hardcore = hard
Casual = easy
Same as NEVER think
solo = easy
group = hard
same as:
long=hard
short=easy
Its the fabrication of some of the "old scholers"
Because lets face it once and for all:
There was and is NO hard PvE in MMOs, its all scripted coreographed performance that in the past mostly relied on gear.
Something taking ages =/= HARD
Something that requires a group =/= HARD, in fact soloing it is MUCH harder, try and confirm it yourself if you somehow dont believe it
I don't need a hamster wheel. I'm not talking about gear or grinds. It's about difficulty. The content is brain dead. You could train a monkey to play GW2.
unless I'm mindlessly following a zerg there's plenty of challenging content to satisfy this monkey ooo ooo aaa aaaaI angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg
It's been a disappointment for me as well. I stopped playing WoW specifically because they had oversimplified the game too much, only to find out GW2 is even worse.
You make me like charity
Pretty much. The game is intended to be easy to learn but difficult to master. I'll bet the "too easy" crowd did nothing more than spam their weapon skills in low level PvE and never bothered to learn the secondary or tertiary effects many of the skills have or when to best use them. I can see them using mesmer great sword 5 while the enemy is out of range and thinking it sucks, or using GS2 around a solo foe and thinking all it does is damage.
Oderint, dum metuant.
Same here, I don't need a second job, I don't want a second job, I have a real life that keeps me plenty busy enough. GW2 being casual friendly is the only reason I'm still playing it.
I'm going to have to see proof of this before I believe it. Something posted to YouTube would be lovely. Include sound.
