The species, I'm kind of MEH on NORN because basically, they're just bigger people and I'd honestly rather have dwarves (but I know according to GW lore we can't) and the little cute creatures feel really out of place too, Asura.

Well, they are more like a Barbarian race who can shapeshift into Werebeasts. Still more interesting than humans.

If by hate the most, you mean the class I plan on playing last but still play nonetheless, I would vote Necromancer.  Likewise, the 5th race I will play will be a Norn, probably a warrior or ranger.  

I dunno. I'd probably go with Warrior and Asura. They are still cool, but warriors have never really excited me that much in any game. They were cooler and more fun in GW1, but still not the best.

Asura, I guess are cute? But I've never been a huge fan of playing cute. Still, the race's lore and such are as interesting and well done as the other races.

I think they are all great.

Certainly making a norn or human guardian first, I expect.

lol I ended up voting with the most popular options. I understand the necessity of an Engineer, and I do actually like them, I just have zero desire to play them. To be fair, I'm more of a traditional magic-user type, so while I'll enjoy seeing them running around doing their thing, I'd rather play something else myself. Sort of like how I think Zangief is a cool character even though I'd never play him.

And as much as I hate to say it, the Asura irk the shit out of me. They're like bald furbies with superiority complexes. Everytime I see one of their football heads I just want to punt them across the screen.

Norn and the Necromancer.

elementalist, i've never been a direct damage kind of guy. I'm more into the sneaky and support roles, so i know ill play a guardian, mesmer and theif. 

The I'm pretty satisfied with the races, but the one I'm most excited about is the Charr. can't wait to play as one. humans have always been too boring, but  i still like them.

Warrior, which is pretty much my pick for for any MMO/RPG. They always seem to be the most generic and overall lackluster class, and GW2 doesn't seem like it's changed anything in that regard.

Definitely didn't read the "Least" part of the section, and then went on to click on Asura (my favorite race) in the poll and then realized that I made a mistake. For the loss.

now i know there's an issue, oh well more gear and goodies for me,. LOL i love the engineer gonna make that my main and the ranger my second. Love pets and taming them. 

The thing that gets me is that more people didn't hate the human more. I'm a human everyday why would i ever play one in a fantasy setting????

I voted Engineer.  I am of the same faction who doesnt think Steam Punk'ish style game play doesnt belong in a fantasy MMO.  Plus guns/bombs/turrents dont appeal to me.  For Race I choose Char, I have never and nor will I ever play a big race, From the Firbolg in DAoC to the Tauren in WoW I always hated their sense of big that detracted from my gameplay, so hard to play a big race as a melee player.

Race: Charr, because they are hairy and ugly.
Class: Guardian, it sounds like a tank type character to me, I'm not a fan of tanking and heavy armor.
Note: I'm a girl.

azura, I never liked short races, at least to play as and guardian I don't know It just sounds the least appealing to me, never really like paladinish classes.

I cant say anything about least favorite but I think i would open my bottle of buttermilk ranch on that silvari, so that tells you a little something. O_O

the Asura is my least favorite, but that's only up against the others. The plant race is second and close tho.

those are personnal opinions you know....

MMOExposed is the master of all personal opinions.

All this "Engineers don't belong in a fantasy MMO" talk seems rather silly. GW2 is not confined by the defintion of "fantasy MMO" and neither is the defintion of fantasy MMO confined to a lack of gunpower. I can think of three fantasy MMOs off the top of my head with gun and explosive technology in them: WoW, Rift and Atlantica. Not to mention the classic non-online RPGs with guns and grenades... 

Engineer and Norn. I don't like classes that make things go "boom" in the Fantasy genre, nor do I like two races that look just like Humans.

Funny you should ask.

That's actually a character skin. You can be either a leaf-like sylvari or a tree-bark-like sylvari

I know that. I'm just pointing out that you don't have to be covered in leaves all the time.
