This game is looking like it has absolutely everything I could ever hope for in an mmorpg... and with no sub fee. I always defended mmos and their sub fees but guild wars 2 is looking to change the genre completely imo. I was hesitant for a while that arenanet were reaching a bit too high, but after each video and interview I watch/read I am becoming more and more convinced that this game will absolutely blow my mind. The amount of things to do, the awesome combat system and skills, dynamic events, EVERYTHING about this game, not having to search for groups as everyone benefits for just participating. The only thing that was touched upon in this excellent thread that worries me is the availability of elite gear in combination with the loot system, but Im sure arenanet will figure out a way to build a strong economy while also giving players the chance to actually obtain this gear. Man I cant wait to play this game, I may not need to purchase another one for a very long time after this drops. Its also very difficult for me to justify paying any sub fees for an mmo right now when I know that guild wars 2 just exists lol.

Welcome to the club =) I'm also curious as to gear issues, but I'm really not that worried. People farm for MONTHS for a set of cool looking gear in GW1, so I'm pretty sure they have the hardcore player at heart too. They may use a different system though, instead of gear directly dropping, you do something else to get the strongest gear. Maybe as very difficult high-end quest rewards, or you crafting like in GW1 where you collect rare and expensive materials. Or maybe it just drops =P probably with a lower than ever rate, but since you may not be so dependant on running raids or such to get the gear, it'll still be easier to get (or just as easily).
I dunno, maybe they've even talked about this a little and I missed it =P Okay, back to GW1 =)

I remember something about you applying stats to gear yourself and that the rare gear is purely aesthetic. So you basically create your own sets so stat wise its not difficult to max out but if you want the sexy stuff it could take a while.
