Anet, you need to fix a lot stuff. Consider the lack of raving reviews, and people saying they’ll “stick it out”.
1) Improve description of combat attributes. Why do I have to go to third-party sources to understand the basic mechanics of combat attributes?
2) Story and game experience mean nothing if I can’t express my own goals. I want to make a good character for combat, but there seems to be no tactics involved in character development. It feels like everything is railed and you end up with a level 80 thief like any other level 80 thief. There’s too little to discover about character combat, and what there is in only shallow discoveries because the descriptions are too vague for anyone to make a tactful decision.
3) Everything is too safe. GW1 was good because a team could dominate an arena or the ladder and there was some social permanence. GW2 just feels like an arcade where there’s little significance in anything.
4) Referring to #2, but significant enough for it’s own point, lack of diversity and tactics and as a result: lack of intuitive centrism. GW2 feels like it was made for autistic children. There’s a lot to memorize but nothing to understand.
Please, just get new developers/developer; something! If I just wanted to talk to people I’d use some chat program or something. I need some strategic gameplay, not grinds and event grinds. I can’t play this.
