What I LOVE:
- Free non-linear leveling system. No other game does it better.
- Trait system feels really unique. I like and dislike different traits., but the system itself feels great.
- Separation of PvP, WvW and PvE. Some balance changes affect all 3, but being able to start a character and build it up through “balanced” sPvP is awesome.
- The art. It’s beautiful. There’s no better looking MMO out there (for me).
- Unranked/Ranked sPvP. Really great way for me to remind myself that I am playing CASUALLY.
- Small details – there are a ton. The graph of which profession you played for PvP, win/loss record, Tomes of Knowledge… There are a lot of intricate details that really improve my QoL.

What I LOATHE:
- Ambiguity. There aren’t 15,000,000 players in GW2 right now so I’m left to figure things out via forums or on my own…. Not a great way to get into a deep game. I feel so incredibly lost right now learnign sPvP it’s actually making me not want to play.
- The power in pvp. I have a decent system (3770k and moderate gpu) along with the highest tier internet available… There are times where I go 100-0 before I even see the Thief appear. They’re squishy and I’m not saying “nerf dmg”, but it can be really not fun a lot of the time…
- No in-game "Wiki’. This ties to my first point. Add the gw2 wiki as a click option on items, waypoints, characters, etc. It seems really archaic to make people alt-tab to an internet window to research in-game information.
- The lack of a feedback option in-game. I’d love to leave these comments in-game for you guys to not clutter forums.

you can type /wiki into the chat bar and then link items to it, to find out what gives

There are two kinds of gamers, salty, and extra salty
