I still want to check this out, sadly they dont seem to drop the prices, what makes me believe the shop aint working at all. Could be just me but if the shop brings ALOT of money they'd want to drop the prices.

I honestly do not know if they can, with NCSoft's stock so low for the past few months. They were really banking on GW2 bringing way more to the table, but how they handled the turning off of City of Heroes drove many of their loyal customers away. I won't get into that rant, will stay on topic.
I thought GW2 was fantastic at first, the exploration was fun, graphics were great, and I am a sucker for a good crafting system. By the time I hit level 30 I realized:
-crafting really did not matter (as mentioned gear is not hard to come by and not that game changing anyway)
-everything I had been doing so far is exactly what I would continue doing until level 80, while the event system was fun at first by level 30 I had lost all interest, and when I finally got to the first instance (Instances are one thing I really look for in MMOs, having started in City of Heroes which is like 99% instance based), I found that no one wanted to do it because it takes a really long time for very little XP and rewards several levels below what they should have been.
-I was not going to get much more powerful than I currently was, you can unlock pretty much all moves by level 10 except the rare specialty that always felt pretty 'meh'
-There felt like no point in leveling up, there was no real end game content besides what you were already doing and PVP, and if you went to the PVP areas you were auto-bumped to level 80 (and as previously mentioned, you were already pretty much as powerful as you were going to be anyway).
These were some pretty big disappointments to me, I could have lived with some, but not all of them. I had already been regretting buying the game for other reasons, this drove me away.

I feel that Anet shot themselves in the foot with the free transfers being active for so long, loads of folks moved to the flavour of the month server the one that was on its way up the WvW tables, thus leaving their old server behind with less WvW players some of which did PvE. Alot of the WvW guys that i knew that transfered and made one server the all singing all dancing super server, left the game for planetside 2, and from what i hear thats the way to do WvW style battles (havent played it myself).
We are multi gaming and our GW2 community thrives in there it suits some folks and for them its grand, but we did have to move the guild to another server due to dimished players on our old one, playing and not seeing another sole except your own guildies is demoralising the world just feels dead, we moved server and our own activity went back up, folks who came back to the game to be nosey saw life and stayed
My personal problem with GW2 is that im not driven by asthetics, so im not about to grind their dungeons for a billion times for the tokens, repeating fractals i just don't find fun, crafting is meh, i just cannot find a reason to sit up and say you need to come play me, after i finished my story quest it just didnt do it for me (i felt the same way with swtor). I was disappointed as GW1 kept me entertained for much longer.
Maybe its me, maybe its not i dunno but i am hoping to find that Neverwinter lets me sink my teeth into it good and hard for longer than the few months games have kept my attention for recently.
With every MMO I disappear after I've done all the content. I am not a raider/pvper/grinder. I'm there for the exploration and that's it. I go back to check out major expansions and that's about it.This is why it's dumb for any MMO to not have an editor for user created content. You never run out of content so people will stick around. Neverwinter will do until get a get a new, real NWN (style game).
