Eye candy? Check.
No reason to group? Check.
Simplistic class dynamics? Check.
Zerg? Double check.
No actual guild wars? Tripple check.

Why would I do that? You like what you like. Anet is a company that wants to make money and they've done just that. If you find my post offensive, maybe you don't like what your are.
But, that's not my problem.
Not knowing why the game is called GUILD WARS? Priceless.
We should not delete mods. We need them here to issue bans and lock threads.
Yes we know. You saved 60 bucks and think others are jealous of that amazing money saving you did.
Because you obviously know whats good and whats not good when it comes to MMOs. And youre right, I like what I like and what I like is GW2.
Who is getting a gun held to their head to log in to the game? Not you. You dont like it dont log on its that simple yet it seems so hard for some to fathom. I would much rather you people start logging on games you like instead of forcing yourself to play a game you dont like just to find the next little thing you can bring here and cry a river about.
But that's not my problem.
Also the time I didn't waste.
Which you then used to come here and talk about a game you dont want to play. Epic.
I wish I could tell you what 2 games I'm playtesting, one of which I have open right now.
You are still spending a lot of time here talking about a game you dont like enough to play. So even with those games you are testing you have decided to spend time here talking about a game you dont play.
In all honestly I hope one of the games you are testing ends up being a game you choose to purchase and play one day. And maybe instead of spending all your time in the forums putting a game down you will find one to talk about in a positiver way. Just like I have with GW2.
Owned.
How did you figure he didn't know why it was named GW2 from that?
Commas make all the difference.
But with all the GW2 sucks threads going around I have to wonder...

Another shallow post to appease the haters.
Flashy colors? Check.
Sensationalist title? Check.
Trendy hating? Check.
Lack of understanding or substantial critism? Double check.
Unwarranted insults? Trippple check.
Dead_Guy, you have given every hipster hater on these forums exactly what they wanted. Congrats on your edgy thread.
We really need separate forums for every newly launched game. There can be the anti-<MMO> one and there can be the 'what general discussion should be' one. All the lamenting can happen together where each can find solace in like minded can't-move-on-ers leaving the rest of us to actually move forward and discuss meaningful and relevant topics.
I did not say Guild Wars 2 did I? I said he does not know why the game is called Guild Wars at all. The fact that he took the time to put emphasis on the Guild Wars part tells me he is one of those people who think the game is about individual guilds at war in the game. Now I might be wrong, but past success at knowing how trolls think leads me to believe I have once again nailed my target.
Lets not forget his absurd claim of simplistic class dynamics which leads me to believe he made all of level 5 in game at most before making his claims.
I think the first thing the OP needs to figure out is the meaning of the game's title.
Are you still waiting in Black Ops to recieve your "Call of Duty?" You know they don't actually call you right?
1) EYE CANDY: Yes, of course. The game is beautiful. How is this "shallow"? I'm confused by this. Unless you're refering to the female models that look beautiful, but that's ...normal? I mean, even so they're not in skimp skirts like in Tera.
2) NO REASON TO GROUP: Clearly you haven't past level 14. Because had you, you would have found the boss-mob at the end of the 1-15 zone that requires a micro-raid to fight/kill. Also, in later zones there's bosses like The Shatterer and The Claw of Jormag. And Orr....oh, don't get me started on how stupid it is to walk two-steps in that place solo. It's a freakin' nightmare!
3)SIMPLISTIC CLASS DYNAMICS: Oh, just because there's no "Unholy Trinity"? There may be no need for tanks, healers, and DPS, but the group dyanmics are very much there. Dodging, moving, blocking, stability are all very much needed damage mitigation and used quite frequently. Also, CC stypes such as knockbacks, knockdowns, stuns, mesmers, and so on are needed to prevent the big hits on bosses and even odd-mobs. As for healing...it's there, I do it all the time as an Elementalist on the walls of a keep as we hold defense and keep those ragged bodies living. Tanking/damage mitigation is there through things like boons, and even shield bubbles through Guardians.
4)ZERG: Derp/herp, we held off two of these at once last night at Ascention Bay. Just 20 of us holding a defense against wave after wave of two different server armies trying to breach, but we held them due to great use of CC fields, and siege engines. "Just 20 is still a zerg", not it's not when it was against nearly 80 other players.
5)NO ACTUAL GUILD WARS: That has changes some. Sure it's not Guild vs Guild, because instead it's server World vs World. Mind you, there's still some top guild/alliance grudges between servers to where they still happen, espectially when those servers match up.
