Its exactly what I wanted. I log in and have a plethora of things to do. Do I want to do personal story, do I want to explore, do I want to do some events, do I want to do a dungeon, do I want to wvw, do I want to craft, do I want to spvp??? I am not even close to getting to the 80 content since I take my time with all of these and didn't look to rush towards the end of pve content.

And the other great thing is that I have a guild for everything, A guild to run dungeons and do pve with, one to wvw and one to spvp. For me its the best of all worlds 

50% 8 or above.

50% 7 or below.

Ok game.  Just totally not what I am looking for on many levels.

I was caught by hype, that happens very rarily for me - first time in mmoprg genre - my first pre-order and propably last.

Aside of that it is not my TYPE of game, there is few things I could complain about so I can give it 6 / 10.

my family is loving it

NO fee, no restricitons!!

I voted a 10 because it´s  "outstanding and can't wait to play it some more"

Sure there is room for improvement...and there will be! This MMO is only 1 month old...

GW2 is exactly the game i was waiting for so many years!

I can't really give it one score. It is like putting one foot in a bucket of ice water and one foot in boiling water and expecting to be nice and warm over all.

The game overall is at least 9.5

The combat, especially as experienced in dungeons is a 6 for me. I don't like the style of the combat and it is really the only thing that brings the game down for me. The problem is that combat really is the foundation of a game. You do combat more than any other activity. It isn't just one feature among many if it annoys you. it is just too noticable.

I gave it a 6, it's a pretty good game and I'll play it on and off, but it just doesn't have a hook that makes you want to play.

Never getting new buttons to press was and still is my biggest complaint. I have a hard time really being interested in leveling if I'm going to have the same abilities pretty much the entire time and never really feeling any stronger. One of the staples of the RPG genre is growing in strength as you play through a game, whether that's in relation to enemies or in terms of greater and greater more spectacular abilities.

I know it's because "there is no end game" but if that were true, I don't see why they didn't just not have levels at all and drop us in the world and said,  - here, have fun. At least then I can go to any region and spend my time looking for fun things to do.

So, it's a fairly good game, but they limited the number of skills available at any given time and it makes me feel like there isn't much I can do in any given encounter. Which is probably why every fight feels basically the same.

I also miss the trinity, I knew I would, but having been a gamer since before the trinity - I see it more as a devolution of combat than an evolution away from the trinity.

you get access to more traits and elite skills that can complete change your builds as you level up :P. also if you actually made use of weapon switching (which is a must in any of the difficult content of this game) or F1-F4 skills you wouldnt be complaining.

They still got time :)

9 - still the best MMORPG release these last 7 years, in my opinion of course.

And people who gave it 1 - worst experience ever - can only be trolling. That's no lack of respect of other people's opinion, that's fact. Just for the work made on the game and the scale of the game, you can't give it less than 5 without trolling. Because if you give GW2 less than 5, what the hell do you give to real failures like Dark and Light or similar crap? -10?

Very good example of an honest and fair vote. I wish everybody would have the maturity of nsignific.
