Changing Views Over time

I've played GuildWars during the early beta events to present (and took a short break twice). I have over time, as I learned new things, tried stuff, rolled with changes altered my views and wondering if other people do the same.

Runners, at 1st I felt that running was bad and you should experience the game. Now that I'm on my 2nd permanent character (4th one to use in pve). I understand why and feel it's completely ok now (less being "uber" in lvl 10 areans).

Farming, this is my most current shift. I had nothing against the farmers but the have vs have not did bother me a little, I knew of the collectors after a time and it did feel good when "nerfs" were applied.

Now I working on a farming monk. Not to be rich but for the purpose but to get the things I want that I could not get. I want to unlock skills but at 1k cap was pricey, now I can go forward with getting skills, getting ton of skill points, and I do want to die my armor black. Thinking of using my monk to unlock all the jobs I don't want to play.

Anet has done a great job at allowing to allow people to play they want to play (even with the for / against / middle yelling at each other).

Other changes but have not changed view greatly
-Aoe Change (and I only played fire ele before - it showed me hay monk is cool)
-Skill Changes (there needed as things come up - will see a lot of changes on the sole merit of the effect of c2 skills and not factors due to c1 in the future)

Wondering how many other have felt this way, the more they played, tried different things. For the most part I'm not vocal on much anything.

The thing my opinion changed on is running, with my first character I only bought the Droks run (but was already at lvl 20, had the Jungle collector's armor and was in Riverside Province, so I could've waited for what it's worth). And I was feeling bad about it, like I betrayed myself or somethin'. I even played all of the missions ('cept Fort Ranik) until Aurora Glade with the henchis, just to familiarize myself with the game and to be able to rely on my own skills. I joined my first guild somewhere around the time I was in the desert (about 2 months or more after I started playing). But now, after a few guild changes, and after I made some money in the Tombs doing Barrage/Pet runs - I started an ele, did most of her missions with the help of guildies (thx ppl) and bought the Droks run immediately upon reaching Beacon's (and all this in about two weeks or less of playing, currently she's in Druid's Overlook). So, yeah, views change...
