Wait this is being hailed as the best MMO ever, yet is introduces nothing new? Lame. Everything there was been done before. Don't fall for fancy wording.

Right, because the game is out and we know everything about it. There is no MMO developer I trust more than ArenaNet, because they have shown dedication to doing things differently, and not just cloning WoW and everything it cloned. Guild Wars, despite not being perfect, still made every other MMO look dated in my eyes, and did it without a monthly fee. Now Guild Wars 2 looks to make every MMO that has come online since dated, and again without me paying a monthly fee.

Once again, nothing new. Nothing at all. FFXIII will have new types of features. Not the same old stuff just boxed together. I played FFXI and WoW. FFXI is the best MMO I have played yet. 2Moons is a very good MMO, also free. Cabal Online is pretty good too. Guild Wars is decent. Nothing great. It sounds like it will be the same thing, with a few new things(already done in other games) tossed in. With shiner graphics. There is no need to hail it as the WoW killer. 

Easy, no one is saying anything about a WoW-killer. And if you think it will be more of the same, then you're not following the news. This was announced yesterday:

In GW2, you will have 10 skills available. The first 5 are determined by what you're holding in your hands, no matter what it is. If you holding a rock, your skills will reflect that, if you're wielding fire (as an elementalist), your skills will reflect that and if you pick up a weapon an ally just summoned, your skills will reflect that.

The thing that made Guild Wars awesome was that you had no reason to grind, and every MMO that relies on grind is just too oldfashioned to me. Grind is just the easy way out.
