Hope, that it remains true to the GW concept and not the grind fest it has turned into.

Fear, that is does not and morphs into a WoW clone, also no titles please, and no PvE skills....that would be an instant no go for me.

Hope: This game will be as good as WoW, with a strong leveling system and gear progression, but also a certani GW slant on everything.

Fear: That it will all cap off too soon, there'll be no "uber" weapons or armor in pve, there'll be an unlimited lvl cap but you're not stronger than a lvl 100 at lvl 200. Meaningless grind for little reward.

just want there to be better customization options on your char as we lvl so that even after you beat the story you still have some thing to aim for

also hope it won't be over-hyped and then not as good as the hype

Hope: That it contains a vast world, explorable also to those of a mediocre level. (i.e you're not stuck in "tutorial village" for endless grinding until you can start travelling)
Fear: The new levelling system makes it diffifult for those who don't play GW every day to have fun, or that it just makes some people stupidly better than others.

Hope: the level cap and the whole equality system remains the same.

Fear: level cap goes up, 'uber' items are introduced, game returns to the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOtarded state of shitty action hack'n'slash games like Diablo 2.

Hope: They will finally do something about the trade system, trade spam, and will add a personal messaging system to leave messages for those that are offline (similar to the one they had for E34E).

Fear: We will be stuck with the same crappy trade setup that we have in GW now.

PvP and PvE will be seprated.

Funny thing is, everything i want more of for Guild Wars tends people to believe its gonna be WoW. I want a higher level system that takes longer and a world that i wont conquer in a few days.

Hope: That it turns into a huge world that involves the character and is not a game that you can just set down for months and come back at any time.

Fear: That it turns ultra mega casual, that the economy, items, armor, mini's, ect... all become available to everyone and the game can be conquered in the usual 8 - 12 hours.

Hope: The world will remain forever changing and not one person will ever be able to say "I did everything there is to do in GW2"- Mind you this does not mean making elements of the game "impossible".

Fear: GW remains too organized and simple as it is now. I mean, calling GW an RPG is a stretch, it has none of the hard core mechanics of a true blood through blood RPG. Give us a social diplomacy system, jobs for forging and farming, etc etc... I wanna talk to an NPC and actually enjoy it.

Hope: Entire World open to PvP through a seperate layered, but viewable "Mists" instance, keeping PvE safe, but PvP rampant and PvE interactive.

Fear: Grinds that effect PvP power, where No Lifers rule, as in WoW.

My hope for GW2 is that the community fixes itself, and my fear is that we will continue to be a source of problems to ourselves by our behaviour.

Fear: PvE skills, consumables, grinding and those problems of the GW1

My greatest hope is without doubt that the GW2 land cruisers will be able to assault also fortresses, not just keeps and open towns.

I think my greatest fear is that the GW2 skill-booster will completely disrupt the doublet-quartering in suppressed mode.



But it's hard to speculate about a game we know absolutely zero about. If you catch my drift.
