IS GW2 excellent or NOT?

I played for a couple hours, and my opinion is that I do not like this game at all.

Character creation is incredibly complex.

There are too lots of folks working together in the "quests" or whatever BS name they decided to call them, so it ends up being particularly baffling. I felt like I was doing a entire lot of nothing while a billion men and women zerged the "quest" objectives.

Between autoattack plus the not so impactful combat, I was not impressed with this aspect of the game. I like to feel like I'm in control of my attacks and movement, and you do not get that feeling in this game.

There is way too much slow running around for the story "quest".

Worst of all, I was forced to save a gay plant guy's boyfriend to progress on the story "quest".

My help, if you need a brand new MMO, try The Secret World. It is a blast, not perfect, but fun as any of the last 20 mmo's I played.

To start I'm only level 16 on my significant so I haven't gotten as far as others but personally I would give this gw2 gold game a seven potentially 7.5. The graphics, character customization, & gameplay are all excellent in my opinion. What I find the most displeasing is the lack of more then one "quest" in an area. From what I've observed so far there is only 1 quest(besides story) & maybe the odd event quest in any region. So you like reach a further small town or fort and there is only 1 thing you can do there. So basically once you are doing your storyline quests & you aren't at a high adequate level however but you've done the couple of quests that are within your range you're stuck doing precise event quests that respawn every like 20-30 minutes over & over due to the fact exp from killing enemies is in my opinion rather low(& yes i know about the food items you can acquire to grow exp given by enemies). Still like I mentioned to start with I'm only level 16. Also I have however to play the pvp aspect of the game but from what men and women are saying in the general chat the game appears to be more situated towards pvp then pve atleast as far as the end game gameplay is concerned.

Edit: Also to one of the posts above me I will admit that truth that you end up doing quests with 5-20 other men and women & still getting say a gold rating is pretty stupid. There was this 1 mission to kill a mini boss in a cave and I pretty much had just walked into the cave and the boss was killed and it gave me a Guild Wars 2 gold rating soooo.... yeah. Alot of the time you acually don't even end up having to do something because of other men and women. If they were men and women I had partied up with then yeah positive whatever but when its just arbitrary people...
