I was skeptical at first, but when i tried the beta, i knew i was right.  This game was doomed to fail.  It was missing too many basic MMO features.  I only bought the game because my friend wanted to play so badly.  She's still playing it and wants me to come back, but i don't want to. >.>

The reason people don't group is because they are busy doing other things.  In order to get to groups, they have to travel back to Fleet, which makes travelling a pain because of all the load screens you need to go through.  People always say to buy a fleet pass, but that's just stupid when Bioware could just lower the cooldown on the Emergency Fleet Pass.  Either way, travelling is the major factor as to why people don't want to group up.  It could be remedied easily if you could summon people on Fleet, next to the instances.

Hey guys, I found a source of a dev that mentioned something about this topic. It is what sidhaethe mentioned earlier about that grace period thing on page 2. It also mentions that they are discussing if they should make it currency other than real life money. Just going to link it for reference.

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/q45rm/iama_guild_wars_2_game_designer_ama_about_world/c3ukiw4

Question: "This "home server transfer" fee - is it ingame currency or real world money?"

Answer: "We haven't finalized our plans for what that fee will be, if there will be any 'amnesty' period for new accounts, or what currency that fee will require, but I can assure you that we are examining and discussing all possible options and as soon as we have a firm plan in place we'll let you know more!"

Thanks for the link. 

According to the devs, they haven't decided yet if there will be a grace period of allowing people to move for a short time after launch.

I really hope this is the case, especially for launch.  Not everyone will be organized and there will be lack of communication with friends and family too.  I'm hoping A-Net has a warning telling players we can't swtich servers.

Let's be honest, most of the press beta players weren't skilled and were mostly pressing the 1 key.  I'm not blaming them though, it will take time to get used to the game.  It's refreshing to see someone actually use dodge and skills correctly.

Why did Bioware add companions to the game?

Really spoiled it for me...they are always moving on places I don't want...

Hell, you can't even change their names!

 

 

That's the reason I unsubbed after the free month...

Don't use them. Problem solved.

Problem is not solved though, since more problems arise by not using them.  Some content requires companions, especially fighting against elites in personal stories.  Companions are also required to progress your story.

I'm pretty sure they will let  us resize and move around the UI elements, just like in GW1.

Money isn't really the issue, but time is.  Would you rather spend your time in WoW or in GW2?  Or perhaps find a balance between the two?

"Gary pressed the question, “Does that mean we will see underwater PvP?” Sharp responded quickly “Yes,” confirming that there will definitely be underwater player versus player combat. "

What does everyone think about this?  I think it will be fun.

Edit: I found the link to it.

I can't wait to play around with different skill sets.  That's what i loved about GW1, except the secondary professions.

I don't like how everyone wears one solid color either.  There are other ways they could differentiate teams.  I really hope they change it before release.

 Everyone dosen't... as has been said already in this short thread.

Do you guys even look at what others are saying, or just read the thread title and jump right on in?

Find it quite ironic how he calls himself "observer". Well observer... observe this.

You linked a WvW video, and it has been stated before, we get to wear our own gear in WvW.  It should've been obvious i was talking about Structured PvP, just like the OP was.  May i suggest you comprehend what you read first?

Relax.  I'm just stating my opinion.  What should i type to please you?

I was about to make a new thread on this video, until i saw this one.  Here's the direct video link to it.

I always use 1,2,3,4,5 for my main keys, and then i'll mix it up with Q,E,F,G,R,T,V and then i'll use Shift / Alt with any of the previous keys for more keybinds.  It doesn't seem like i'll need that many keybinds in GW2, which i'm thankful for.

I always use one email address for beta sign-ups, but i didn't get my confirmation email, so i used another email address and got it.

I saw a video with a ranger, and he was setting up spiked traps in pvp.  I thought it was pretty amazing.

Huzzah!

That would make a grown man cry in real life.

All the major reviewers that rated this game 8 or higher should be ashamed.  At best, swtor deserves a 7, and at it's worst a 4.

It's pretty decent, but it's fairly obvious they didn't spend $200 million on it  

THANK GOD!

I couldn't have said it better.
