TenTonHammer released an article today about Guild Wars 2, written by a person who was not a big follower of the game (he didn't even like the first one).
His opinion is that if you're not looking into the game, you're might miss out on an mmo revolution.
as a fan of the franchise (Hence, the fanboy avatar), it's good to hear people who don't have the GW1 background that I have are as excited as I am after seeing
some ingame footage.
If you are unfamiliar with Guild Wars 2 (even if you hated the first one), I'ld recommend giving this article a read.

Please keep in mind that the boss has been tuned down a lot for the sake of the demo, it is also a lvl 30-40ish boss so not an end boss.
Before people say "OH MY GOD THAT'S A PURPLE DEATHWING", it's a fantasy mmo, of course it has dragons, also,
this dragon's footage was released around the same time as DW's model.Also, most people in the video aren't really good at the game
since it's a demo, so the combat might look slower than it really is
