I do hope for your sake ArenaNet does fix the flaws you've listed but with Guild Wars 2 coming, I doubt "Sleeves on the Male Mesmer Elite Canthan armour set" is going to feature highly on the company's To Do list.

I doubt I played more than 1/9th of the expansion. The professional reviews will be out in a week or so and I'd urge you to wait for those. Zerpha, I got that particular armour set because my Mesmer was created in Cantha and I didn't want to affiliate myself with either the Luxons or the Kurzicks. I would agree that particular armour set has its flaws but I like the fact it's a very rare look. healerkind, I wouldn’t use my review of the preview event as a basis for making or deciding against a GW:EN purchase.

Very honest and non-fanboiish, even if you do appear to really enjoy GW on the whole. So when you say: "My overall impression of GW:EN is that it’s mostly … more of the same." ....I already feel my wallet going back into my pocket (although I own all 3 expansions and enjoyed them all...for a few hours each. "Now I play PvE almost exclusively as I don’t really have the temperament for PvP being a little too excitable and prone to terrible judgment calls during battles" Yeah, know what you mean. I am really really looking forward to GW2 remedying the elitism of PvP currently, and opening up the PvE experience a bit, instead of the 'on rails' experience it mostly is now. And hey, Hall of Monuments to me sounds pretty cool. For me, I will never, ever have anything worthy of an HoM, but would really enjoy seeing the fruits of other peoples labors. As a museum type entity, I think it is a great idea if people can view other peoples accomplishments that way without some convoluted 'must be grouped with' system. I want to look some pvp guild up online and view the toons listed in the HoM to see who accomplished what. Anyways, like your writing style. Am adding this site to my favorites. lol – great review!

I didn't review either because I didn't try them during the preview. I was less interested in the Hall of Monuments as a means of flaunting than a means to give future GW2 characters a leg-up with unlocked weapons, armour and Heroes. Unfortunately, unless ArenaNet makes some changes, HoM is not where the heart is. I mentioned Dwarven boxing along with Polymock in passing.

I find it quite interesting. Well the only thing I like about GW:EN is that it continues the story of Tyria + the environments are just splendid but other than that it's just typical Guild Wars. As for the Halls Of Monuments (Show-Off-Crib) thingy I'd say it just made the game un-casual-gamer-friendly. I just hope GW doesn't turn into WoW.
