There are a lot of great things about GW2 that are original and fun. They are designed around those ideas and they did a great job.
One area that seems to be lacking is the Item system. It’s not fun or original. There are 16 item slots (4 weapon, helm, shoulders, gloves, legs, boots, 6 accessories) which are exclusive to certain areas of the game. The way stats on gear is designed makes selecting gear a grind rather than an accomplishment.
I know that some people may have fun with the current item system, but couldn’t it be so much better? Shouldn’t the item system have been designed with as much care as the content and class design? I hope Arenanet takes a look at their items and makes it better.
