Lets face it, ANET sold out.
Everything that was unique about GW1 they decided to change to make it more ‘WoW like’ because they want more money.
Completely ruined the skill system
Nothing like FoW/UW/DoA in the game which was the most popular endgame
No second profession
Removed the instances
Auction house (would much rather spamadan)
Obsidian armour was the most sought after thing and kept me and many others playing for years, having one weapon with an animation is no where near as good
No energy
No guild halls (seriously…)
They decided to cater for the ex wow players as they knew it would make more profit.. good job anet
