One way in which others can/will affect your play in a way that you may perceive as detrimental: if you are working with an NPC on an area quest, others may just run up and start working with the same NPC at the same time (which I perceive as positive, because you get the quest finished with more quickly and lots of stuff requires far more than 4-5 people in a party)
Actually if other players start working with the same NPC it will scale up the experience to make it the correct difficulty for the new player size.
I've never understood the issue of a game not being released for Steam is this because I only started using Steam consistently since I joined Icrontic? I honestly don't understand the issue, imo the only thing that would be missing is Steam auto-updating and the achievements. After all before Icrontic most of my games (If not all) were bought in retail (In fact the only retail copy I ever bought that required Steam was Empire Total War and that irritated me to the point where I almost didn't play it because I had to activate both the retail and Steam copy)
It is about the utter convenience of having games install-able on any PC you access Steam on, join friends in games via Steam rather than myriad of logins and friends list per game, backing up the entire install, migrating to new PCs, etc, not worrying about physical media etc.
GW2 offers that same service through their website regardless of if you buy a physical copy or not. As long as your internet is good enough to play the game you'll have a good enough connection to access the client as fast as steam would.
I'll take your word for it because I had some experiences to the contrary, but maybe I was trying it by myself or something. Been a while
Scaling was actually really bad at the beginning and the level 8 Charr Flame Shaman in the starting zone for the Charr was hitting players for their entire health... Due to this fact I am quite positive.

Yeah, I engaged the shaman with about 35 other people and we got rolled.

I enjoyed the shit out of the prefix encounter. Regardless, late game bosses (think level 30 plus) are going to be fun when you have the zone fighting them. It will be hard but not too hard and not impossible to see because they're so huge.

As another reminder, run your GW2 client. I ran my yesterday and got over 1GB of patches. Opened it up again today and it wanted to pull down more. Nothing sucks more than trying to patch on release day.
