Guild Wars 2

I played for a while during beta and after the release, but I found the content, combat and PvP really boring. I’m not sure why, but I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to ask, am I missing something? GW2 seems to be successful, but I don’t understand it. I want to like it-strangely enough-but I’m finding it difficult to play more than an hour at a time without being utterly bored the whole time. :P

My apologies if this is a topic visited multiple times previously.
Straight to the point, a year later and it still bothers me that there isn’t a dedicated healer in the game.
I like that they wanted to break the meta and therefore create a whole new one, but I don’t understand why that should require taking out healers entirely. With the play-styles of the classes/jobs and the way the combat system works, it wouldn’t matter if there was a healer or not, I suppose.
However, as someone who plays the healer in every game that I get the chance to, I there’s an emptiness that I have.

Has anyone discovered a way to get that feeling in the game or is it simply unavailable?
