To those not in beta and disappointed about what people are saying about combat...

I'm not gonna tell you I played WoW, Age of Conan, and LOTRO. I played/tried that and about 70 other MMOs (free and pay2play) out there including GW1. I gave up on MMOs last year and have been playing FPS and MOBA games simply because I got tired of seeing the same old shit.

I'm telling you this so that you take my word when I tell you that the combat system in GW2 is revolutionary, incredibly fun, and very involving. Glitchy right now, yes, but it's only beta. I have never been more in control of my character in both PvP and PvE.

The game delivers pretty much everything. Environment is amazing, music/sound is astonishing, PvP is fast paced (have not seen WvW though), dynamic events are completely new to me, etc. Basically, GW2 places everything else in the 'piece of shit' bracket.

So you might ask why people are complaining. You will probably complain as well to if you've never played a non-shit game. Try a MOBA such as LoL/HoN/DOTA or even GW1. You'll understand how skills are meant to be used and won't bitch about not being able to faceroll when the time comes.
