Guild Wars 2

Hello!
I’m looking for some personal feelings and thoughts towards this game.
I played it for a while back when it was released, and I managed to get my thief up to about 35. “Yay, instance time!” I thought, but once I got to it, it was a huge wipe fest. Kept on dyin’ and dyin’. Oh well, I figured it was my fault, and that I needed to improve. I stopped playing about a week or so after that point.
Now I’m considering returning to the game, but I am afraid that I won’t be satisfied. What do you guys think about the PvE in this game? Does this game have a solid endgame with crafting, fun dungeons and stuff to do?
Also, as a side note, think you could point me in the direction of a good thief-guide I can read up a bit on if I decide to return?
Thanks a lot for your input!

I would probably advise you to start dungeons when you are a higher level than the requirement. Almost every dungeon run I ever had was pretty smooth….but it’s only because I stopped trying to do them as soon as they are available :P

As a result this became what I would call ‘endgame’ – running the dungeons to the best of my ability at 80, and along the way picking up some rewards that are even awesome at max level. When I was 35 with my Thief, all I can remember doing is map completions + dailies for fast leveling, and constantly respeccing/traiting to explore the class. I’d recommend you do the same, because yeah, you do get your butt kind of handed to you when you have entry level gear + minimum level. It doesn’t bode well for Thieves that they’re one of the squishier classes, either.

The whole content thing is a matter of opinion, really. I’m 800 hours in though, and still going strong since release
