Wow, okay. So, I went from completely uninterested after having played GW1 to actually interested and considering picking it up after reading this article, to now again thinking "no" after reading the comments. I like the idea of being able to just run around and work cooperatively with people on a massive scale. There was a lot of this on Tabula Rasa when it was in its extremely early stages (that would have been an awesome game...such a pity) and I loved it. I do tend to get bored easily, however, so if that's a trend I don't know if it'd be worth picking up for the current box cost.
There's also still the biggest reason I never got back into GW1 (there were many, but this was by far the main one) - graphical contrast. I always had a really hard time telling where I was and what was going on cause everything seemed to blend together. Also, game developers often make the mistake of using green and red as contrasting colors, and for a significant portion of the population that's absolutely not the case. That's the biggest reason I liked WoW so much; I could easily see and differentiate everything. From the images I've seen so far, I'm not sure whether that's going to be an issue in GW2 or not.
Well I still never received a verification email for my account. Which is a known problem. However, the play button remains greyed out. Even though the website says it shouldn't be.
Annoyed by the level progression. I've found myself stuck completed all the content but not high enough level to progress with my storyline or go to a new zone.

I'm the exact opposite. Level 21 and I'm at the 17-18 level quests right now. I am exploring each area 100% to get achievements also.
Remember, when an event ends, hang around. One event can turn in to 4-5 events with a boss at the end of the series.
I switched from Longbow to Shortbow/Axe/Warhorn/Torch where I can stack conditions like a mofo. Also I have two bear pets (polar bear and Arctodus) that pwn so much face now.
Loving the actual game, but hit my first real annoyance. Apparently my IP changed and it won't let me login to the game until i verify my email. This wouldn't bother me except i have no email from them. If i login to my account on their webpage, same message. They really need a phone authenticator like blizzard has. I only had a bit to play today and the time is lost because i am at the whim of their email server...
Tried to email them from the online form and it stated: Are you having trouble verifying your email address? We are aware of the following issues during the email verification process:
The verification link sent in the email may not work The page the verification link takes you to displays an error
We are working to resolve these issues.
You can continue without verifying your email address by clicking the “Play” button on the Guild Wars 2 launcher if you already have the client installed.

But the Play button is disabled for me, so no go.
