Valve just released a video demonstration of the controllers they’re working on, which I thought looked pretty good. When they come out we may see people start trying to use them for existing games they play. For the most part GW2 would work pretty well on a controller with its limited number of skills and more actiony combat. One of the bigger hurdles of using a controller for this game would be camera control, needing to keep a button held in to move the camera around rather than just moving a joystick or track-pad.
Adding a toggle that lets you “hide” the cursor and naturally move the camera around with the mouse would make the game handle much more comfortably on a controller. If you could even go the extra mile and add a targeting reticule to the center of the screen, things would be great.
And I know there have been threads asking for this in the past, so it’s not like only people using a controller would take advantage of it. Better controller support would just be a nice bonus
