I am usually a player who goes for non human characters. I think playing human is boring most of the time. However, in this game I’ve only made human characters. Well, that’s not completely true. I’ve made other races, but they were all deleted some time after.
Why? Here’s my reasons (and yes, they’re personal reasons, I’m just stating my reasons for playing humans in GW2);
Charr and Norn; too big. The way they seem to move very slow irritates me. I’ve had this problem in other mmo’s too. So I usually tend to play smaller races.
Sylvari. I hate everything about this race. It’s the one race I would never roll. This is from a design standpoint (I simply don’t like how they look) as well as a flavor standpoint (they act too goody-two-shoes, their voices annoy me and I think they’re a lazy cop-out for getting an elf like race into the game).
Asura. The race I liked most before I got to play this game. My first character was an asura, but compared to humans they really lack in both meaningful customization options as well as nice looking armor options. They’re still my favorite non-human race and their areas were quite fun, but the above reasons just always made them come out (wait for it) … a little short. badabum-ching
The humans have the best customization options (not counting beards, norn have the upper hand there). They have the best armor options (bar a few notable exceptions) overal and imo they have the best starting zone.
I wouldn’t have thought it possible before I started playing, but as it stands now, all my characters are human.

The new daily system is bad in its current form. It forces anyone who wishes to do dailies to perform all kinds of tasks. I’m not saying these are harder or more time consuming. I’m simply saying these are forced upon the player. This goes completely against the ‘play how you like’ mentality ANet is supposed to be promoting.
Now… If I understand it correctly, a feature will be added ‘soon’ that allows a player to pick 4 out of 6 ‘achievements’ they need to fulfill the daily’s requirements. That will at least make this system a bit better since you can then skip the ludicrous, mundane or irritating tasks that are part of the possible daily tasks.
I don’t understand why they’re launching an incomplete system AGAIN. Not after the complete and utter failure that fotm and it’s associated INCOMPLETE ascendance system was (and is). Something they themselves have admitted. Making the same mistake again?! Come on…
