Lack of documentation
Don’t think.
Just do your daily.
Yeh, GW2 is definitely not for min maxing. As long as you can dodge and ress, the rest of the combat system is entirely optional.
I also prefer games that give you more of a hold on what you are doing. I especially hate it when you have a buff that says it increases your power or armour or whatever, but not by how much. Then I see the same buff on someone else and then it tells me it’s 10% or whatever. I just don’t get that I can’t see that myself.
I think the idea is that they wanted to get away from that type of gameplay. Not really what I would’ve like but I’m sure plenty of people here will tell you that it’s great.
The best place for all of this information is on the Wiki. Guild Wars 2 Wiki

- The contrast is quite hilarious. So much effort and attention to details that hardly matter, yet letting the major picture go as it pleases. I liked how the character creation goes so deep as to lets you customize the width of your character’s jaw, but yet you have no control which armor sets happen to have the stat combination you want. When it comes to looks, armor definitely matters.
I wonder what kind of player this game is really made for. I realize that players have different reasons to play, but what is the thing that this game really does better than its competition?

Transmutation stones give you complete control actually.

I despise that the ‘official’ source of information in game is a user-editted wiki. So many things can be, and have been, wrong in a wiki.
Not having a true, official source of documentation and info is purely lazy and there really is no reason for it.
If I want to look at a user editted wiki, fine I can. But if I want official info, there should be a source for that.
