Do not want Mounts.

Not movement Mounts, anyway. Flying can be in WoW, Flyff, DOMO, whatever other MMO you wanna go play, whatever. Do that if that's what you want.

Now combat mounts, that actually matter and add to combat gameplay, oh heck yes.

Asura already have something like this in which they can Summon a Battle-suit Golem usable by anyone in the party.

Or the Elementalist fire Skill, calling down a Giant Flaming sword to use for 30 seconds. (Not really a mount, but changes the way you play with a "Environmental weapon".)

In short; Environmental Weapon = Mount

All I want for Christmas is Guild Wars 2, and whatever is already under the tree, I guess.

I`m not familiar with Guild Wars, just know  the game exists and I have two questions:

Cost
You will need to buy the game but there will be no subscription charge, revenue will come from micro transactions similar to the current GW shop (make over, name change, fluff items and maybe skill/weapon unlocks) and by additional game content released further on.

1. So, the game works like many F2P games with item shop? (and I know we have to buy the game, not just download)

2. Does anyone know the system requirements to run the game? The graphics seems to be top in the MMOs genre

In Guild Wars, you buy the game and you can play free for ever. You have your account, you have the game, you are good.

The "Item Shop" in Guild Wars isn't an Item Shop. It is more or less to change the look of your character. In NO POSSIBLE way will anyone who spends more money after the game have an advantage over you in combat. There were only 3-4 "costumes" that you could wear by spending money, that weren't allowed to be shown in PvP to prevent confusion, and were allowed to be shown in towns and such. They just made you look different.

People who made a character maybe at the very beginning of Guild Wars-may have gotten sick of how they looked, so they now have the option to spend money and change their face, hair, height and everything else about their character.

The system requirements will be low, from what I have heard, and will most likely have the option to go up a lot higher. (Have you seen the graphics!?). They said that it isn't much heavier on your system than the original Guild Wars is.

With all the talk around this, if ArenaNet can pull all of this off... this will become the greatest MMORPG of all time.

And, anyone cares, why?

I find the grind horrible. I like the combat though. It's different than all other games. Even Guild Wars, my favorite game of all time, was "click" bash through 1+2+3+4 at strategical times. Or if you were a Monk, you played the red bar game. (Which I did quite frequently.)

All in all I will never play retail Maplestory because of the 0x XP.

 Guild Wars and...

Guild Wars 2

BOOM!
