This isn't true for most water sources, it's only true for the ocean.

OP:
I hope that in future we'll can have something like that. The game is good now, but it could be better, I only fear that because of PS3 version they won't improve such a realism. :(

Seriously, you guys want REALISTIC water but not REALISTIC animation/ arrows?

Man, here I thought having realistic things in a fantasy game was just my fantasy and everyone just wanted to disagree with me, but now I see, everyone wants REALISTIC things in their FANTASY game.

Graphics and game mechanics do not have to have the same depth of realism.

SE has always tried to have a high visual realism for a high fantasy style; however, they seldom pay attention to realistic mechanics.

I think more succinctly you could say they work hard for their visuals to be "in another dimension plausible" and that realm has its own mechanics that do not always refer back to ours.

Realistic water? Who's to say this isn't exactly how water is supposed to act, what with the world being magic and all? ;)

I think what most people want is "visually pleasing" water, not realistic water.

Because real water is rarely blue and clear...

the water in GW2 is... like everything very unrealistic to me. it looks like oil colours

but like the producers of GW2 said.. GW2 should look like a painting. and thats the way it is.. its a painting.. but neither realistic nor the best ive seen.

very old MMO water (Dark Age of Camelot:

The Elder Scrolls Online

thats real water reflection... not that unrealistic oil water without any realistic reflection.

not that (GW2):

GW2 is really not next-gen.. its very-last gen.. when it comes to the graphics engine
its a painting. nothing more.

I said RARELY CLEAN AND BLUE. It does imply that it is that way some times, but most of the time, it's not. Learn to read please.

Also, it is not pollution, most of the time, it's due to the kind of sand in the water.
