Will you be purchasing Guild Wars 2?

If it's anything like GW1's current direction, most likely not.

I will buy it after I read the reviews and such...
Plus I have 4000+ hours invested...I'm not going to let that time go to waste

Also...
I still have faith in Anet. I think they learned from their mistakes....

yeah il do the same ill get recommendations of freind but if my guild are not going to start gw2 im not cos they are the main reason im still playin this

If it is anything like GWEN then a big fat NO.

The way GW has gone now,My answer is No. Because GW2 is mosty likely gonna start out like this.
Current direstion of GW stopped me playing so think Ill invest my money elsewhere.

I'm about 50/50 right now, but voted "yes" because I most likely will buy at least one account, just based on how much time I've spent with GW and the fact that I still play it (although nowhere near as often as I used to play). On the other hand, I highly doubt that I'll buy multiple accounts like I have with the original GW.

nope wont get it....dont like what they are changing from gw1 (no need to 'fly' or swim and the motion will probably make me physically ILL to watch...no need to get sick from watching a VIDEO GAME).
still have lots to do in gw see no reason to give my money to a company that doesnt ........welll I will just keep my money as a protest and see what happens.

im gonna make everyone one i know buy it and play it xD

im gonna become a walking gw2 advert : P

I will for sure-hopefully on opening day.

However if they continue with the developement schedule, release will be right around the time for my PhD defense...so I might not get a chance to play much during the opening monthes.

Although I wish there was more news-mainly I want to hear about the class system. I love playing RPGs for the various classes and I'm curious as to how they'll be treated in GW2 (hoping for a classless system where your character is defined more in line with their attributes and skills...kinda like the Shadowrun RPG-but that prolly be a pain for the programmers ).

Will I buy GW2? No.

I voted yes. I think the pole is quite revealing. If as has been stated in other posts that The Guru community represents the Guild Wars community as a whole, then ANET should be really happy with the results of this pole.

right now i am at a no mainly because of how anet has been dealing with gw1 ie the lack there of. if they improve on how they are dealing with gw1 then yes.

If it turns out that the current plan of making it free to play ends up being true at launch, then no.

maybe, depends when it comes out. If im playing a different MMO or something then i wont be though. Its taking too long if it takes another year and 1/2

I think many are saying maybe which isn't an option on this poll.

I will buy it for sure. Actually i'm gonna upgrade my PC to it's specs. It's saving time for now

I was NOT going to, but the recent changes (PvP vs PvE skill separation) tells me that A-Net finely have started to understand that you can not force people to do something they don't want too. This makes me intressted in GW2 again.

I have 3500'ish + hours in and I won't be buying it at least not until I've had a chance to take a look at it.

Not buying the game doesn't mean the hours you've spent on GW1 are wasted. And really ultimately and time spent on games is going to be a "waste" as there is no tangible thing you can take from it. But saying not buying GW2 is a waste of all the time spent on GW1 is ridiculous. Thats like saying not buying Halo 3 means my time spent on Halo 1 and 2 are a complete waste, screw the hours of enjoyment I gained from it.

I will Pre-Order the CEx2

Why? I have yet to see any reason not to.

I will because I have a good idea of what I will be getting for my money.

A game that I can play as much or as little of and not have any more expenses, not have any handicap for taking a break from it and not be punished because I might choose to play the game in a way that differs from how others play it.

Anet did so many things right with GuildWars that I can't believe they would not do those same things correct in GW2 plus add in some new idea and fix a few things that limited GW.
