Yours truly, a formerly active member of the old GWguru community, has followed GW2 since it was announced. If you remember me or not, that’s not important. What is important is like every other… person… on the internetz, I have an opinion of the game. I think that GW functions as a game, under a set of circumstances, but failed to do something important, see my second link.
My initial impressions
Why I think this game fails to meet expectations
TL:DR GW2 fails to capture a players attention like it should, the principle reason for this is it botched the first 5 minutes of the game and after that, the discovery process of the game is meh.
PS. I still hate levels.
PPS. I still hate the current Sylvari design.
