Can't say as the game didnt draw me in either.  My experience has been if a game doesn't draw you in the first time you play it, it most likely won't the next time, either.

Best starting area in GW2 hands down was Azura for me love the race and love the animations they have .

for a game with no monthly fees it's ganna be a day one purchase for me .

They made the game were people can rez each other. This encourages player interaction. They counter that with making it really easy to die. I actually like it a lot. Encourages a team effort against hardcore bosses and shit. I love it.

Hmm, though I only got into the second zone PvE wise (didn't want too ruin too much for the release), I sort of agree.

I didn't really follow this game super-actively before trying the first BWE, the game didn't even interest me that much. The first 10 levels or so only confirmed my disinterest: I was like "Is that it?".

It was only through actually sticking with the game, seeing some of the bigger events, getting into the second leveling area and experiencing the WvW in it's full glory, that I was won over.

However, due to the enormous amount of interest generated by its predecessor and the look of the game, I don't really think it will be a huge problem for GW2 to keep players going for a bit until they reach the juicier parts.

I also found the Sylvari starting area much more impressive than the human one up until now: a lot more boss fights and interesting things through dynamic events!

I'm finding the Sylvari starting area to have a huge lvl gap from 6-8.  It doesn't sound huge but try killing a lvl 9 with a lvl 6 or even 7 not so easy.  Also I wish they would remove some of the mob killing exp penalty.  Sometimes you don't feel like wandering around the same areas you've been 30 times to try to trigger stuff again.  Not too mention it's cramped and not so much fun.

Luckily people are saying it gets a lot better as you get out of these starter areas. 

I agree with you OP. It really does get a lot better ~15-20+. I know they tout feeding cows and watering plants as part of their pacing design, but I honestly think it turns some of the more mature gamers off.

It's strange because later oN things really do get a lot more explorative and fun. At least for me. 

Tera had the same issue.

And i heard it's the same for ArcheAge, it's basically a quest grinder for the first 10 levels.

Honestly, i don't get it, if i ever wanted to buy Tera, i wouldn't like to play a game where it's basically impossible to die, the combat was the main appeal..... easy combat = boring.

And ArcheAge... if i wanted to grind kill 10 quests, i wouldn't be playing a sandbox, just drop me naked in the middle of nowhere and let me build my own town with a couple of friends.... 

If its to easy for the hardcore players, it will suit the casual players just fine
