First people are complaining that GW2 isn't seamless, and its' areas are too small and instanced to be a good MMO. First time I've seen people saying some of its' areas are too big.

People will congregate naturally in specific areas as the game's community evolves. It's just the way of things. It may vary from server to server, but as time passes, there will be generally one or two cities or hubs, usually with a ton of convenient vendors, auction houses and a cool backdrop, that will become the centre of player gatherings. It's just the way of MMOs, has been since their conception.

Wait until the "What if GW2 is too much fun?!" threads start.

Ha, although I guess you haven't been reading here long.  Been a few of those already LOL.

I may start on that says "What if GW2 is so good that my brain explodes?  Can I sue?"

Sorry, I took english before you were born more than likely, some of it fades over time. What doesn't fade is obsessive compulsions if not treated.  ;D

Seeing a typo or spelling error once.. twice.. no big deal but seeing it 20-30 times!

Sorry for the incorrect title sir. And yes, the age would be correct. Just because I'm old doesn't mean I can't have fun playing games! When they put an age on when I can stop having a good time I'm going back to my english studies! lol

As ridiculous as these new threads are getting.  Honestly, I can understand it.  And to be perfectly honest, I'm gonna give my opinion that these people making these pretty ridiculous threads don't actually think that (in this case) the cities are too big.

It's the anticipation for the game that is having people think up questions to ask the community.  Even if it's something as silly as this.  People are excited about it, and want to talk about it in any way shape or form. 

I've posted plenty of times about forum topics that need to be closed or locked or whatever because of either ridiculousness or repetition.  But I'm going to stop because lightning has struck my brain with this thread.  People are going to talk about their favorite game no matter how solid the game is, whether they are complaining or complimenting the design.  The real thread name with these threads should be "Let's talk GW2!".

So I'm no longer going to be bashing people's stupid thread titles or topics.  Because it's just the excitement of this awsome game nearly upon us that has people struggling to scratch that GW2 itch that is plagueing the MMO community.

....Should have made this a thread topic....

*****************Anyway to get a Moderator to fix my Title blunder to "Areas too large? Please"*************

statistics show guild wars 2 fans are 90% more likely to make complain about stupid things.

Areas too large? Is that really a valid complain before the release of the game? Have you played the game to know if the maps are too big?

Next you gonna get a thread, is guild wars 2 too westernize? Or Reasons why carrying over the lore from guild wars 1, is a horrible idea.

No one is complaining. A title is not a complaint. I had a legitimate question hoping someone with the answers could help me with and they did. I hope you can take the time to read my initial question. If you think I was complaining I am sorry.

Again: Teleport, running, speed buffs in cities.

Why is size a problem again? Everyone has a uniform way to get around large areas.

This thread baffles me.

I think it's less about time take to travel and more about people being too spread out, at least by what the OP says.

That's not an issue either, however, as people tend to gather in certain areas, regardless of the size of the area, and this will undoubtedly be the case here as well.

Personally I love felling of adventure and exploration. By my opinion its good to have large areas in cities and out door, but it cant be to everybodys liking. Thats why there are going to be waypoints or teleports (if you like) all over the world  for people who dont like walking to much.

"lads and lasses , guild meeting in 5 mins. Everybody teleport to the waypoint in the lodge of the Raven in Hoelbrak"

How can area size be a social impediment in this game?

There are 30 minigames total, 5 per city , each unique. Wont these be social meeting points too? Wont AH and crafting posts fill that role too? And if you want to gather an impromptu force for an event thru a general channel, wouldnt it be much easier to achieve in this game, with the waypoint system et al? 

Now, if we could only sort out those squarish borders....

Exactly!

People who enjoy travelling through the vast world have plenty of open space in which to do so and plenty of Dynamic Events and other content to reward them for their efforts. Those who don't care to spend time traveling to and from particular goals can easily teleport about. It's even great for those of us who usually prefer to hoof it, since it's still easy to quickly join up with friends when the opportunity arises, with out having to worry about extensive travel times. (I don't know anyone who thought it was fun in WoW that sometimes it could take 20+ miutes to get to where your friends were).
