I think out of 10 it's a 9. Strong game from my extensive mmo point of view and I'm in love with the lack of trinity/skill requirements to be successful.
New and different which will set it apart from others currently out on the market. Not having a monthly sub will do wonders and it may very well keep people even if everyone grows bored of the end game after awhile. Lack of content really hurts new MMO's trying to make a splash and keep customers long term. We shall see what happens. For me, it was interesting, but after a few hours I wasn't really feeling it. I guess it's just not the game for me. 6/10.
With regards to the questing thing, I didn't play the last two weekends, but I would agree. I do think that's something they'll iron out before launch though, because you always seem to end up 2 levels behind your quests.
Also, I've voted 8. Nothing to really blow my mind about it, but the fact is, I never have to spend another penny on it and, once it hits live, I can just log onto it whenever I want.
Solid 7 for me. There are some balance issues which if corrected will push it to an 8. Not going any higher than that until I see what's after late 30's (since no one who's seen anytrhing later can actually talk about it)
It's a very good game (as much as I've seen)
Conversely, my scoring will drop significantly if they don't fix both the queueing and lag in WvW!

7.5-8.0 seemed about right to me. There are some usability issues currently and much of the later content is not yet seen.
I voted 8/10. The only cons I had about the game was the way the camera works and sometimes I found some parts of the events to be a bit boring (such as running back and fourth to an NPC handing in stuff one at a time or killing rats) but other than that i found the game to be a breath of fresh air after playing WoW for so long. I'm sure that with future patches the game will become even better and some of the flaws it currently has will be gone.
So good to be an ant who crawls atop a spinning rockCurrently playing: Bioshock 2,Far Cry 3
gave it a 10/10, it might have some flaws (nothing major that I could find during these BWEs but hey) but it's the game I've been looking for the past year and a half basically. I'm fed up by the "wow-standards", I'm fed up by homing missile attacks and I'm fed up by the endless "LF1M tank for w/e raid I'm farming right now". This game is like wow was when you started playing it. New, epic, vast. But it's so much more aswell.
I also love the fact that it's such a LAN-friendly game. With wow you could either lvl up a new char, wait 2h for a raid and then wipe or do some pvping. Here you can do anything. I played with a friend this weekend and we were like "What now? Hey, let's go over here and check this place out". We ended up in an epic battle between some swamp-demons and a shitload of players. It's randomness like that that makes this game come alive.
Call me fanboy if you like, but I know that I love and will keep on loving this game for a long time =)
I'd rate it 8 but I'm personally particularly harsh with rating, cause I'm like those cool kids.
9/10 It´s an all around well design game with alot of potential. I love the WvW (the best world pvp i´ve seen in years), and the questing is a breath of fresh air to the genre. Can´t give it a 10/10 because I haven´t seen the game past level 30, but it will be epic for sure.
6/10 I overhyped the game awhile back and now the game mostly feels like meh to me.
0. Not because "I'm a troll" as you seem to state in your pole, but because the game doesn't really interest me at all. I think its got some really neat features, but like I said, 0 because I'm not interested in it.
Eh. Kinda want to give it a 10, cause I had a blast, but some of the professions I tried, felt like things were still a bit off. Necromancer and Mesmer probably need some work.
I also can't stand some of the story-telling.
I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.
If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.
So. I have to ask.
Did you even try the beta, or did you just notice this thread in the "recent forum posts" thing and decide to vote on a game you've never looked into or tried? O_o
You can't really rate a game if you don't give it a solid try.

I'm of the opinion that non-trolls would at least give it a 1.
