What to expect in Guild Wars 2

According to wiki:

In PvE, a character's effective level and attributes are automatically reduced based on the enemy levels immediately around the player, and there can be numerous level scalings per area/zone[1]. They retain access to all of their skills and equipment so the area is easier because of this, but should still be challenging to play.

The benefits of this are:

high level characters are prevented from killing enemies too easily and depriving low level characters of rewards;
low level content doesn't become obsolete once a character reaches a higher level.

Was the promise for it to be a challenge, or just not a cake walk? They've made so many changes in the side-kicking system, I'm not sure anymore.

A little of both. They said they didn't want it to be a cake walk, but at the same time also said early level foes should provide some sense of danger when facing them.
