This is the best MMORPG I have played in years. There is so much content it makes the other "Top" MMO's seem like cash grabs. The fully voiced main story lines are truly immersive. The combat is fluid and full of action. I have played several professions and they all bring something to the table. They are working on graphic improvements, but the current system is still beautiful. They seem to have a great take on eliminating "pay to win" and just about everything you can spend money on is available to purchase with just grinding, you can use gems or gold to purchase anything, and if you need one or the other there is an official currency exchange, rates are constantly in flux so you can always wait for the better exchange rate. The amount of group content is better than any other MMO out there at the moment, and believe me I have played just about all of them. If you download the free to play version, you are limited to certain account limitations, but you only need purchase one of the expansions to unlock full access and remove restrictions. I found this a little frustrating at first but I think it is to keep gold farmers from using mock accounts to farm. I would rather have a slight inconvenience than an auction house that is manipulated by gold farmers. If you haven't played GW2 you owe it to yourself to give it a try, and make sure you play more than one profession, what you think you would like to play may be different than you expect, check out all the professions early on, you will see what I mean.
