GW2 is crap crap crappy crap poxy crappy crap on a stick dipped in sh!t and rolled in breadcrumbs.

The most interaction I've had with other players was getting into an AC group "lvl n thief here invite plz" "hello" "try to pull them apart" "thanks for group, cya" That was more or less the entire conversation... My limited experience in other MMO's (Aion, AoC) has always had much more player interaction (ranging from casual conversation in group chat to "hi, join our TS and let's kill some baddies!"(paraphrasing) - talking strictly PvE PUGs here).

I wouldn't say the system in GW2 encourages player interaction and I certainly don't feel like GW2 has a nice community. It might get better when those interested only because the game is new leave, and a slightly more dedicated playerbase remains.

Might be you. Our conversation went as follows:
- party wipes on first group in AC story
Elitist: you've all done this before right??
- elitist leaves group
Me: For the record, this game is 1 month old, I've been on holiday 2 weeks which implies a fulltime job. No I did not do this before, I have no idea what to expect from this dungeon. Let's make the best of it.
- finished the dungeon with lots of joking, talking over tactics and no real wiping problems. Afterwards we all had to split but thanked each other because it was a fun run in a good dungeon.

Conversation is what YOU make of it. Most people don't talk by default, and the best comparison is dry wood. It takes a single spark to ignite a conversation for better or for worse. YOU be that spark, make the dungeon party into a real party of people enjoying something together instead of expecting others to function like bots or heroes. You may realize they perform far better when the party is a group of talking humans instead of Golems spewing abbreviations.

I was very annoyed the other evening when after a 'defend this location' mob storm event left several players defeated, & a group of 4 from the same guild /dance'd on them before running off, leaving me & 1 other as the only res'ing.

True, but completely unrelated to GW2. If anything, it only further proofs that the introduced ad-hoc "teaming" (as in, everyone can attack the same target and get credit without being grouped) doesn't make more or even better team-players. You still need proper grouping and communication for that to work well.

Sadly, those you'll always have.... If there was a report option "being a jerk", I think ANet would be spammed with them...

Luckily, I've not come across a lot of those yet.

Please provide me with even a single MMORPG that can compete with GW2 for the title of best MMORPG.

How do you define "best"? Most massive? World of Warcraft. Most immersive setting? EVE Online. Most creative game design? Minecraft in multiplayer mode. GW2 takes the cake for most detailed world, I'll agree on that.

My rant...

I miss my monk. :(

I miss missing to catch a spike cuz my character is drunk, decides to do a random emote and a teammate dies. :(

I miss casting Vengeance on that one teammate that charges into every mob (and watching it get shattered). :(

That made me think of Clint Eastwood.

Oh yeah, GW2 isn't magic. I expect a large number of people who pass me by to be jerk, but most of the time we play together and I don't notice. They are not less jerks, it's just that they have fewer ways to mess up my play time.

How do you define "best"?
