I take it you never played GW1?
It's anything but generic. I log in and I NEVER see 2 people with the same gear. Unlike WoW, Rift or many of the other REAL GENERIC games out there where when you log in you see 3 orcs, 2 trolls, 5 taurens and 2 blood elves wearing the same armor set in the same vicinity.
I think you need to look up the words "generic" and "unique", because you CLEARLY have them mistaken.
