What will happen when i have nothing to explore left? When I will have 100%? This is something that scares be since beta.
Sure, the exploration is nice, the world is quite amazing, but come on, a new MMO in 2012 cannot be entirely based on exploration...
Exploration is something we really missed from the old WoW, but you can't do a whole game around it. I wouldn't pay a game if the only thing I wanted is to explore, i'd rather go visit another country. I also want to feel progression, evolution, knowing that i'm becoming better and better, optimization, and i really worry that this will never be in Guild Wars 2.
I think some of us got fooled, because they were expecting to have the features we love about MMOs (listed above) AND this very nice ADDITION of exploration.
We only got exploration.
