Guild Wars 2

I want to like this game, but honestly after buying it over a year ago my highest char is level 28 and I know absolutely the reason why too.
When I play a MMO I play as a tank or a healer as I like having responsibility in a group, I immediately hit LFG and start a dungeon group in whatever game I play because that is what I like doing. When I log on I usually get tells asking me to run something with people I have played with before and I like being known in game for my abilities in a group.
With GW2 no one even seemed to run dungeons when I first picked it up and there is no set tank or healer archtype either. That to me is just a total killer for the game. Its like saying my entire way of playing is invalid and only DPS are allowed to have a role. Yes I know DPS is the most common role in every single game but I like the challenge of leading groups and holding them together. This game just takes that ability and says pfft who needs you.
I still want to like the game because I like it being B2P (buy to play… you must buy box to play it, whereas FTP you can just download and start playing it) but after about 2 to 3 hours of doing a map to get all the hears and stupid vistas and all that crap and I am ready to /wrists. I know some of you love that stuff but for a person who loves running dungeons and group stuff, solo questing is just boring as crap and is totally against the MM part of a MMORPG. Maybe that would change at level 80 but honestly I doubt I will ever get there because I just cannot stomach the monotonous grind.

I want to level up by pvp such as I used to do in DAOC either by mobs in battlegrounds or actual pvp. However in this game you either have structured pvp where you gain nothing but ranks, or wvw where you step foot in as a level 80 with artifical buff to your stats but no skills to compete with true level 80s.

I would love to see a patch put in that introduced places like thidranki and the like where you can pvp at your actual level and skills with other in the same boat as you.

Honestly I kept characters in Thid exclusively because it was fun as all get out, more fun than actual RVR roaming most of the time really.

I just got the game and really find myself discouraged… the PVE is honestly kind of boring so far, but pvp with having to down someone and then channel a spell to actally finish them seems stupid… trying to roam wvw with half your skills is also depressing if you dont belong to a guild too.

So far have a 27 guardian, 11 ranger, 9 mesmer, 10 elementalist and like the classes just want pvp against my own level people to level up.
