My concern when it comes to being an esport is the complexity of the traits system. One complaint about GW1 was that it was too difficult to balance because you had all those skills and dual classing.
GW2's skill system is far far less complex th…

People are complaining that GW2 isn't DAoC2 because it lasts two weeks and then resets. What hasn't been discussed in this thread at all yet are the reasons for doing it that way.
GW2's WvW is against other servers, not against other factions on …

Originally posted by Lucioon I understand that when you help kill a mob, you get the full exp regardless of whether or not you hit it first. Every one that helped gets EXP and LOOT.
Does anyone know if the EXP and LOOT is based on how much you con…
Originally posted by GeezerGamer Nothing is worse than WoW's Poo fettish. How many quests can you have in a game where you have to dig through feces?

Prepurchasing gives access to all beta weekend events, so even if the next one happens on a weekend you can't make it, you'll still be able to take part in all the ones after that.
I don't know, but I assume it's at least possible that they aren't…
Watch this video until from the start mark until at least 15:00. Totalbiscuit shows how you can swing at nothing and can sometimes damage enemies you're not targeting.

A quote from the first non-dev to complete an explorable mode dungeon. http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=774927&postcount=45
When I played it on Fanday, the explorable version WAS hard. It was 3+ hours of wipefest. You don't …
With other games (like WoW), the emphasis has been on raising the level cap because people have their toons that have been sitting at cap and want to progress them further. There really isn't that much of a reason to level a toon in other games unl…

In principle I agree with the OP. One shouldn't ever believe anything a developer has to say.
However, in GW2's case... Here's a quote from Ravious at KTR. http://www.killtenrats.com/2012/02/20/gw2-closed-beta-bookends-and-quick-impressions…
I do want to add something on the bright side of this. If this map is right http://i44.tinypic.com/5edcfn.png then of the 25-26 world zones, there are five for level 1-15 and four for 15-25 and then it's after that where it starts funneling down in…
Originally posted by Quizzical Good. Allowing sidekicking up was way too abuseable. I, for one, will not miss the level 10 gold farmers in level capped areas--and effectively forcing their way into a group with you because that's how dynamic event…
I don't know if I agree with their reasoning. I agree with Serelisk that sidekicking up is more about playing with your friends regardless of location.
I don't really see it as being something where you have trouble with a particular encounter, …

It's really simple and I can't believe people are missing the point. What have MMO'ers griped about for years... FLYING MOUNTS! Why? Because they destroy open world immersion. Well... having the ability t…
