Guild Wars 2

I just wanted to speak my mind about something. I am currently frustrated with this facet of the game and here is why:

- The Good

• At its core, this game is amazing. The combat is fun and fluid.
• The professions are fun and feel unique
• Balance is very good for this stage of a game.
• The game looks fantastic and runs very well (in spvp).
  To me, all of those good things are the basic building blocks of a quality PvP experience (which most games completely miss the mark on)

- The Bad

• Painful partying system with one or 2 friends. Especially those who are just learning the game. It’s either fight against each other in Hot-Mess, or get touched inappropriately in TPvP
• Variety in game modes. This is staggering to me that a game in 2012, that also had a successful predecessor, can launch this bare-bones.
• Some sort of progression. No I don’t mean gear, I mean an ELO or system that you can gauge your skill. Currently you have a way to gauge your playtime with a glory level.

So, to explain my frustration. The game has succeeded GREATLY in the most important part of building an MMO and PvP game. The foundation is beyond solid. All that had to happen was delivering that foundation in a fun, easy-entry, and meaningful way. It fails there.
