While I would/will pre-order I won't play in it's current state.  I'd much rather wait till it's completely done before playing it.  I might dabble here n there in areas I know I won't be playing early on but my serious first few characters I won't be playing until the finished product.

Absolutely not.  Why post the poll if you assume all fans would say yes?  I could just assume all fans would, right?

How about as a guildwarrior (lol?) yourself have some faith in their own manifesto and let them deliver the awesome and complete game we've been waiting for?

Man, some of you people need to lighten up ffs.  It's a harmless fantasy.  Take a laxative or something.

Rule of the thumb: Do not pre-purchase the game until you get a solid release date. That is the only way to protect yourself from being disappointed. I would wait to hear some of the players who will pre-purchase and play beta weekend events. If their reviews are all positives, don't give in until you wait for the release date annoucement.

I think they will announce the release date on April 10th when the pre-purchase program begins. If they don't, it's best to restrain yourself.

I'll not buy it in its current state..

Only arenanet knows when the game is done, and thats when the game will be released, i'll never again buy a half finished game.

Tough i will pre-purchase the finished product on 10th of April.

NO and here's why. If we all did what happened with other game titles that released their games too early then these companies would NEVER learn from this mistake of releasing a game too early and would do it again. It's like releasing a pair of pants that hasn't been hemmed all the way and somehow people think it's okay to pay for them even tho they will fall off or have an opening in the crotch area exposing everything.

No, just no.

I must admit having watched a lot of the videos from the last beta weekend I am excited with what I have seen.  However  I'd rather see more of the complete feature set before I put any money down.

Still saying that you're never going to be completely sure how all aspects work together before you actually play, so at some point you'll have to take a risk....at the moment though I think I'll hold off, not a fan of preordering anyway :D

1 million signup for beta in 48 hrs, I bet April 10 1 millions will prepurchase.  This game will have more sub than SWTOR  mark my word.

That will be rather unlikely considering it doesn't have a subscription system.

Well my whole family is chomping at the bit to get this game and all of them want in on the beta, so i will be pre-purchasing 4 games on April 10th.

I took a laxative.  Now I am having a hard time completing a single.........brb.

No pre purchasing but i will buy it when it releases. I don't do pre purchases anymore.

This is NOT for trolls, this is a question to those who consider themselves hard core Guildwarriors.  Just reading some of the statements on other sites about release made me wonder if there were any other crazies like me, who would take it, as is, and happily wait for updates to get it where Anet think it's ready for release. This is strictly a hypothetical, obviously, so no need to shoot back with, "they would never do that because.......

EDIT:  The question I'm asking is if it were offered to YOU specifically, and not a general release.  Even I wouldn't want them to launch before it's ready..........yes I would..........no...........yes............no......... 

I love how you're opening statement reads, "This is NOT for trolls.." yet the only options in the poll are either "Yes" or "Are You Crazy" rather than just "No.".... Really?

FO SHO!

I would, if I could play it today!  Fine with 3 races and somewhat buggy stuff

Nope, wouldn't buy it, wouldn't even pre-purchase it. I need more info before I commit to GW2, specifically about the Cah Shop. I'm sure all the rest will be fine, the CS remains a bit of a question mark.

I'd not only buy it, I'd pay double to have it released today.

For all the people who claim you would buy it today or pay more for it.. Are you serious? Do you learn nothing of previous titles that were rushed out the door unfinished? I not only would not buy it. I hope they take as much time as needed to ENSURE we have a finished product upon release with as few bugs and as much stability as possible.. RIP Vanguard.

Rushed products, wow what ignorance.

Nope.

I've been following GW2 so long that I'm content to wait until it's ready.

I'm still planning on prepurchasing on April 10th because there's things I want to see for myself and give feedback about, as well as to get the 3 day head start when it does finally release, but if I had to I would just wait.  At some point I really should finish GW: Nightfall.  I can't see that getting a lot of play after GW2 comes out.

No.  I don't purchase a game until I can try it now.  And I'm not excited to pay for a F2P game with an up front cost.  I'll wait for it to go on sale and I'll wait to see how the cash shop works out.

Don't consider myself a hardcore fan of the game, though I am looking forward to it.

I would probably buy it the way it is (or pre-purchase), but I'd rather them wait until it's ready to release the game. So, I'm going to wait.

The flat progression turned off all of my friends.

We are all hardcore raiders/pvpers. None of us like the idea of some level 1 player making a brand new character, going into the mist and instantly being equal to us, completely negating time and effort spent in game.
