Beauty? It's cartoony boss with gaudy lighting effects, and glitchy to boot, as it instantly changes light and dark pattern on it's 'smoky' part (causing headache).
And complaining about specific, ugly and anime models which travels from Lineage to GW to AION is fully justified. It's not so hard find mocap actors and western artists and make them normal.

Anyway, if you don't already see where I'm going with this, allow me to spell it out: the only meaningful MMORPG "endgame" -- i.e., something novel to do after the progression process is over -- is that of the sandbox.
I don't get why people call gw2's art style asian/anime-like, is it because it's not cartoony like wow?
The leader of their art team is romanian (people who played HL2 will know him, since father grigori had his face ), and most of their artists are american/western. Also, they don't have the over the top armors that asian games have. I mean just look at aion or tera armors, for males they're huge, with lots of useless ornaments, colossal weapons, etc. For females, they're usually bikinis
Diablo 3 come out already...I quit wow couple of months ago after a couple of years and i don't miss it, it's a good game but i'm over it plus i'm trying to save up for a monitor, computer, tv and a fridge .
Don't have the heart to try any other mmo til diablo 3, although the char in gw2 look very cool i don't know i'll hold judgement til beta. GW1 failed to grasp me after ten minutes mostly because i can't stand to play a human; the females looked too pretty. I like the barbarian female look in the upcoming D3. Can't wait.
Anime models? Haha. You can call it 'gaudy' all you want, but that was visually stunning and i'm sure many more people will disagree with you than not. And yes, there MIGHT be some slight lighting problems in a game that is about 1 year away from releasing. Who made you decide what's 'normal' anyway. Not everyone loves the western character designs you deem so mandatory, i dont need every char to be a 'roid ridden bald juicehead or double D pumping bimbo's.
Casters in that movie wears typically korean dresses.
Also, compare characters from German, Polish or US studios (which make normal, not anime and not cartoony models+animations) with GW2, and you can easily see western developers didn't set a foot there. On contrary, if you do with Aion or GW ones, you'll see clear likenesse in posture, moves, proportions, facial expressions, hair-dos...
I'm not korean and want character which fits in my culture reception.

People that think that 20+ players are required for endgame content have obviously never played anything outside of WoW.
WoW started the 'Big ass raids', but it does not make it law. I'll be enjoying epic 5 mans in GW2 while you are waiting on 24 other players to hit Deathwings raid.
We are WARRIORS man! If we can't make it bleed, we will sure as hell dent the f%^ck out of it!
OP: i must say i wasn't all that interested in GW2 from what i've seen so far, since i didn't find the firs GW all that amazing, but you've made me curious enough to start following it's development now, and maybe who knows this might be my replacement to wow

That video shows stats on the armor and weapons (Strength, Vitality, etc), so they are changing that aspect up a bit.
