Glad I only played the demo and didn't pay for Guild Wars.

I couldn't complete a quest as simple "as have a friend open the gate for you." A quest set up to force you into a group, only problem is no one will take the 30 seconds necessary to step outside town and click on the lever above the gate to open it for you. After repeated attempts to group for this quest the only offers I ever received were "50g". No thanks, if this is the kind of cooperative play I can expect then I'll pass.

Dye to change the look of your gear is a hot very high priced commodity. I guess the importance of that type of item says a lot about the people playing this game; pretentious posers there to posture their l33t-ness over the n00bs, not explore, quest or create a mutually beneficial community.

Being completely isolated outside of town made me feel like I may as well be playing an offline game and since the community is so helpful and friendly you essentially are playing a single player game. How I am supposed to know what spells to select before leaving town on a mission I don't know. Go out, fight dozens of monsters until I die because I didn't have the correct spells then go back to town and start over with the "correct" ones?

Also the invisible walls mentioned repeatedly by others is very annoying. Don't you dare try to step over that rock! The preassigned path demands you go around it.
