    Have you been following much of the design process they've been blogging about. I don't play a lot of wow, but for the most part it seems pretty different from what I hear.
    
    The stuff under http://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/ is pretty interesting, in particular the Combat and Events sections.
    
    Disclaimer: I got to play test this months ago and I am super fucking pumped for it.
