For me, every MMO since WoW in 2004 has basically been anticipation and excitement for a new date and then crushing disappointment when you realise she's a starfish in bed

I like this analogy but would like to add that a close friend told you that she was a bomb in the sack as well.
I feel like theres something wrong with me, I just can't get excited about this game but everyone else is going nuts over it :(
Same here, I know it seems great and all and I still want it but I'm hardly enthused. Prob has to do with the cash shop, they just always rub me the wrong way, even though theirs is pretty mild.

I'm quite pumped for Guild Wars 2, and have been for a few years now since enjoying Guild Wars. What people need to remember (and often don't) is that no MMO will ever beat WoW, it just isn't possible. Why would people give up their high level geared characters to start a fresh? That is what I think ArenaNet have taken on board the most, and so have created a world full to the brim with new and exciting features that won't necessarily say "stay here", but more so allow players to enjoy what the developers want to create.
Guild Wars 2 offers a lot of different stuff, and from the weekend betas I've played I couldn't stop, it was just too much fun. It felt more like a online Skyrim with no real set path, and being able to go anywhere in the huge world is just unreal. Put in some amazing PVP that out classes WoW's and you've got a great free MMO.
Also, the cash shop is barely a worry for me, especially when I can get all the items by swapping in-game gold earned for gems, the shops currency. Any item that I have seen in the shop is purely aesthetic, or a temporary boost to XP/Guild XP that in the long run doesn't really matter when Guild Wars is never about gear but more so skill.
Personally most of the reason I'm hanging out for this was because of how much I loved the first one. I've found though alot of people who seem to be getting excited about GW2 had never even touched the first time.
