Saying that it is frustrating is a bit of an understatement, I just got my ranger to level 22, and was “rewarded” with stat increases, and the ability to go to PvP, this itself was annoying to me, as I already know that each level up comes with a stat increase, thats normal in every single level up system I’ve ever seen, however what made me face palm though, is what it said I would unlock at level 23, my 5th underwater skill, at level 23. Arena Net, this is the number one problem people have with the new system, it makes us, the player, feel as though we do not know what we are doing, I attached a file showing the “rewards” for leveling up. Anet, please re think this. What we, and by we, I mean the more experienced players, want a way to skip the skill unlocks. Level locking should not be forced on every player. Level locking is not the answer, in my own opinion.
I know the bank access at lvl 24, the downed state at lvl 5, the waterskills at lvl 22 might frustrate the lot of ya, crying wolf over how easy it is now.
I on the other hand — a new player (1 month of play) — can’t begin to tell you how complex GW2 is compared to other MMO’s. About a month ago I kept being underlevelled for new zones, I thought I’d do all the hearts and then leave the area. Didnt know you could trigger quests, didnt understand what was happening when I got downed, didn’t know you could port from waypoint to waypoint.
I mean… I learned all that, but the new guidance seems great.

Yes Guild Wars 2 is definitely complex compared to other MMO’s……

The new character guidance seems very sensible for a first time player.
But what about when you go back a few months from now to level a new character? When you go back to level one of each class to 80?
It’s going to be massively frustrating and alt-*un*friendly to have to go through tedious and slow skill unlocking when you already know how to play. The new player character system should have the option to be disabled once you’ve leveled one character to 80.

That is WoW with a crap ton of mods, not really a good comparison.

Actually it is. Since most people on there use addons.
But you can just google: ‘mmo UI’ and find dozens of UI’s many times more complex than GW2.

Even without mods, in World of Warcraft there is a metric ton of stuff going on and a metric ton of more content to get lost in. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, it just feels as if Anet is focus testing the group of people that would never play this game anyway.
