[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 28506, member: 358"] A breath of fresh air in the MMORPG genre. If you absolutely hate MMO's, it'll do nothing to win you over as it's still an MMO Unlike GW1. If you are fine with MMO's but dislike certain genre-standards (questgivers, vendortrash, the holy class-trinity, the exponential levelling curve) with some added cutscenese and more interactive combat it does a lot to cu away all that fat. I love the fact that levelling from 3-4 takes as long as levelling from 9-10 which takes as long as levelling from 79-80 (supposedly). I'm leaning towards this definition more. Take Guild wars2 for example. My wife is a casual player, presses buttons and stuff dies and she levels up. She gets new loot and equips the stuff that looks more powerful and is bummed out if it doesn look cool. However she is higher level than me (mainly because she is focussing on 1 game, whereas I try to juggle about 4 games and am trying out 5 different professions in GW2 :) ) I'm more hardcore, look into the info on skills, check what the combosystem is alike and how you can abuse mechanics. I research stats and in which ration you need to get them to get the most benefit (while writing this I'm having a horrible dejavu of going over spreadsheets to determine if I should regem for AP or ArPen for my druid....) I look into weaponswapping/attunement swapping to combine spells that work well together.
