to be honest guild wars 2 races are crap.
the games good quality wise but the races are just boring with races just going from one extreme to the other-human(meh) to char(why a cat and whose idea was it to put clothes on them?!)
the human are just that, the norn are just bigger versions, the sylvari are fugly, the char are just to beasty and odd and the little guinea pig things are just up right furless dogs.
i really appreciate the whole personal story thing buti just think guildwars 2 needs to inject its races and stories with a healthy dose of the fun factor.
the races need to be less human yet less beastly so that you can still say aww or cool yet not look a fool in armour and not feel utterly freaky.
guildwars needs to check out its competitors more- such as TERA.-they lack the beauty of guildwars 2 yet thier races are very fun and exciting to play as because they look cool/cute and the player can relate to them aswell as have fun for they look fun too.
