If they wanted to mention good combat, they should have mentioned TERA or something, not "stand back and shoot for 10 minutes, dodge circles" the game. In terms of combat TERA did everything GW2 tried to do, but actually did it properly rather than slapped it together.
I would disown both GW2 and Tera and play FFXIV 1.0 or PSO2 any day. Funny thing about Tera is how that game stopped me from buying a copy. I played CBT 5 and got to level cap in one weekend. When open beta was announced, I started a character and played for 5 minutes, then figured the game just got too boring. :P

Many of the friends I made in CBT were telling me that the "real game" starts at level 35+. To put it brief, all i said was that the real game should start at level 1. Sounds exactly what YoshiP is focusing on story-wise and content-wise. Not a game where you can reach level cap on a weekend, or in a week, nor even a month perhaps.

One thing I am most interested in and hoping to test out in the alpha or beta, is the battle system and gameplay mechanics. I want to mess with stats and see exactly how much of a value they hold.
