Elo will be playing GW2 within a month of release if not on day one.

Also, most Outposters only play MMOs for 1-2 months anyway. Something that only helps in the first 1-2 months, but helps a lot, is an excellent investment from the point of view of the average Outposter.

At one point, ArenaNet noted that their combat system simply wouldn't allow for traditional tanking or healing, and after my first dungeon run in the Ascalon Catacombs, I can confirm that this is true. Most of the "tanking" in Guild Wars 2 is done by whoever happens to be closest to the target at the time. Currently, threat is calculated based on a combination of proximity and overall damage / healing being done. One dev I spoke to said that, in optimal situations, players would be rolling in and out of the fight, with each teammate taking a turn at "tanking" the boss through skill rotations and rolling. I can also confirm that even journalists don't know how to listen to combat advice, because while, in theory, this sounds like a dynamic combat system - and it is! - when nobody plays properly, fights quickly become messy affairs.
This is probably my only real concern with Guild Wars 2 in the future. There is a deep and robust combat system in play here that is a delight to behold in controlled situations (organized PvP will be incredible and I'll touch on that later), but once things go slightly off-kilter, or you get a dungeon running group that just doesn't understand the importance of positioning, all those nuances get thrown out the door and you're left with barely controlled chaos. I want to genuinely believe that every player out there will easily pick up on GW2's combat system, but after being a raid leader in hundreds of raids in World of Warcraft and Star Wars: The Old Republic, where a startling number of players still don't understand how to avoid standing in fire (or missiles, in the case of SWTOR), I do have serious doubts.
See, it is clearly going to suck!
