When I first started playing Guild Wars 2, I kinda got blinded by all the pretty graphics and my high hopes that some of the game balances that weren’t addressed in Guild Wars 1 were fixed.
But I have to agree with Dante and Smelly Bookah etc, the core mechanics of Guild Wars (e.g. diversity of skills, primary/secondary professions) which made the original game so great, just aren’t there in Guild Wars 2.
I am now already bored of Guild Wars 2, and have gone back to playing Guild Wars 1 lol.
