I’ve watched nearly all vids and trailers of GW2, I always see the ESRB content rating warning in the beginning of each video.

“Blood” ???
“Mild language”
“Use of alcohol”
“Violence”

I don’t understand the “blood” in GW2, there’s no graphical bleeding, like one would see in games like FPS, other than trail effect of skills that inflict bleeding and bleeding condition damage icons.
These two effects are made to make it recognisable when player is using such skill or is suffering from the condition.

There’s no blood splatter or such decals that occurs during combat in GW2.

Except for the 3 static blood splatter decals in Brisban Wildlands near Gallowfields Waypoint, at the canyon entrance.
These 3 are the only blood splatters I’ve seen so far.
There might be more of these static decals in GW2, but there’s no graphics that show a character actually bleed blood fluid particles and leave these splatters.

Or is the use of word “bleeding” enough to make people see “blood” and earn this content rating?

I’m a casual PvE adventurer, I enjoy combat, adventure and helping, but not farming.
I rarely do PvP or Hard PvE, unless it’s organized.

some underwater attacks result in blood-cloud effects, and stylized blood effects are sometimes depicted in cutscenes

Thanks, that clears up it a bit.

It’s all red tape, other wise they’d get sued.

Some of the artistic cutscenes (the painting-style ones) show quite a bit of blood spraying. Which is why I don’t understand why we don’t have blood splatters otherwise.
