Even post that you updated the OP in the guru, so it can reappear on the front page for new members to see (Since the 2nd trailer has drawn alot of new traffic)

Crafting – I thought this was a game? I don’t care how nice it is to co-operate with guildies and eventually obtain nice armor. Grind is grind, and if it’s in GW2 (which is likely, to satisfy the boring gamers out there), well, I won’t be doing it. I would sooner play GW2 in a dirty brown rag than grind/craft my way to nice armor.

Why do you call crafting “Crafting, or, how to not have fun”? I have no idea how that will work, but I find crafting materials at the artisans in order to craft new armor very handy. If you could do all that yourself, it might make getting new armor/gear even easier and more fullfilling. If you can learn how to fashion armor from cloth and leather, or iron, then that would give you something extra to do if you don’t feel like doing a mission or quest. Plus, having people in your guild that can do certain things well, promotes helping eachother, or trading. Person A is specialized in making leather from the skins he learned to skin off of animals he kills, and person B is good at making bags from that leather, and person C can use the meat from certain animals that person A kills. Then they’d sooner group up to hunt and sell their goods, then it is in GW1. Well, maybe not, but I could be a nice incentive for trade and something else to do when you get bored.
