Combat looks fun. And I am eager to see how far they go with character customization.
Also just nice to have a break form other games on occasion.

Uh and the Music and Audio.
Its really what can make or break a game for me.
Be patience I am dyslexic..

I mean, be nice Mif.
Anyway, I'm REALLY looking forward to RPing my ass off and ignoring my husband for 3 days straight while I immerse myself in my personal story.
I'm also looking forward to general chat for the first few hours /days /weeks..( how ever long it takes). Because I know it's going to be filled with QQ from people who expect this game to play like Wow, and end up getting their asses handed to them from NPCs. It's gonna be fun.
Not to mention all the people bashing on WoW, like what always happens when a new game comes out.
But, if I can play it, I would have to say... the character customization, especially for the Norn (plan on making male norn ranger). And if I am able to play it on this computer, I will read as much about the norn as I possibly can to be able to rp my norn as "authentic" as I can, as I plan to play on an rp server (usually filled with the nicer people, at least in the other games).

This. In WoW I remember that feeling of wonder and exploration on my first character I ran all over the barrens on my orc, skillfully dodging the skull level beast just to see what lie beyond that mountains ridge, wallhoping over the orc spawn to find Ratchet only to get brutally devoured by those crabs people. Swimming to the bottoms of lakes just to see what that tablet said. But i quickly learned that wasn't the fasted way and that sense of adventure was replaced by my human nature to get things done in an expedient fashion.
To do it the "right" way in other games you had to ignore half the content of the game, in GW2 the only right way is to go check out that cave or explore that town, climb that mountain you might find a DE or some new monsters you never know! I CAN'T WAIT to have that feeling back and know that its actually being rewarded.
The real #1 thing for me is the new dynamic combat. Casting while walking, dodging, no auto-attack, you can heal yourself, you can protect yourself, everything.. I can't wait to try it out. And almost everything else of the game just seems right to me.
Honestly for me the thing I am most super excited about is the Dynamic Events. The fact they can chain into each other and more events happen and more and more and more!!!! I can't wait for a (hopeful) really dynamic game world.
The last time I was so excited for a game was Ultima Online when I was 12 trying to justify to my parents to spend the 10$ a month for it haha.
Running around the world shouting with joyous abandon that the grass is moving!
DEs and personal story are probably what I'm most looking forward to though
Honestly? the main thing I'm looking forward to is finally getting rid of wow...
But I really like the combat to be honest, and the fact that it seems to like solo play.
Dynamic Combat.
Able to level to 80 passively, in SOME dynamic events. Why kill when you can put out fires and herd cows back to their farmers?
Not needing a specific healer or tank to do things!
Good news for you then. ANet has said that they don't develop GW2 on the highest end hardware and even test it on hardware so old that it can't be bought anymore and they have to get it from Ebay. If you look on newegg or amazon you'll see that the oldest cards you can buy were released in 2004, so the min video card specs might be from 2003.
Pretty sure the Anet engineers have enough optimization experience. At least more so than Trion or Bioware when it comes to MMOs. That's a bit speculative but based on their track record, I would guess GW2 will run far smoother than most MMOs not made by Blizzard.
