I want to like the sylvari but...

Here’s the deal. I play mostly, if not exclusively female characters. And IMO, Jennifer Hales voice is not up to standard. Every time I hear it, I just imagine Shepherd doing a really, really terrible british accent. It doesn’t even remind me of Bastila, who I actually enjoyed. It just annoys me.
So that’s fine, just play a male character. But then I run into the fact that I’m Irish, and all the sylvari names are Irish. Some of them are okay, but then I run into a really stupid one like “Bread”.
However, despite both of these, I really want to like the sylvari. I loved their concept, I love their aesthetic, I love their homeworld.
So, in the spirit of trying, I’m going to make the least annoying sylvari I can, and I need recommendations on class. I’m willing to try pretty much anything but not ele or Engineer. So, any suggestions?

This thread will get slightly ranty, warning you now.

K, as a player who followed the game religiously pre beta, lost interest, and just picked it up again now, I can really see why i stopped playing in the first place.

No matter how much you talk about “Personal Story” and being able to adventure alone, when it comes to the story missions, this just isn’t so. I’m 80% through the personal story, and I can’t count how many times I’ve been wiped and forced to retry because my npc’s die and I get swarmed by an amount of minions clearly meant for more than one person.
I clearly remember them saying that events and missions would scale based on how many people were there. So how come my 1 Elementalist is being zerged by 10, endlessly respawning guys?
And no one say to me “You’re dying cos you aren’t levelling/cos you’re a noob”, I’m 10 levels higher than required, with gear at that level, traits at that level, etc. and pretty much fully statted up for water/Earth so I wouldn’t die in 2 hits.(Even though I didn’t want to, but that’s another rant)
It’s literally as if the devs are telling me “Find someone willing to do the same quest, in the exact same questline, or suffer”

So please, if anyone got through all that, and happens to be on the dev team, please, for the love of Dwayna, work on your solo quests, add some mercenary npc’s like in gw1 or lower the spawn rate, just do something, Cos I don’t wanna find someone this late in the game willing to do my exact personal story quest, and I sure as hell don’t wanna have to res these kitten npc’s when they suicide into 50 guys.

Hi,
I recently got back into GW2 after a long absence and I’m looking to have some fun with other players. I’d love a guild that does WvW regularly and one that is fairly chatty and friendly.

Highest level character is 45 Ele, hoping to get her higher.

See you soon!
