With today's announcement that blizzard is finally adding a gear appearance tab, I think their numbers will actually start to go up again.
Casuals can stay busy all the way until the next expansion just collecting all those old gear sets in order to play "dress up" 
Well something that should have been added long ago. Unfortunately still no dye option it seems. Here goes what you can do with Gear in GW2 with its dye options.

Hell, that gear even without dye looks way, way better than anything blizzard has ever designed in WoW

PVP Video from GW2 from Gamescom.

Sorry no sound, look at the map.
Also during GW 2 Character creation you can choose what dye colors you want to have your gear, this choice will then be applied to any new gear you get, so no more clown outfits. You can still manually change the dyes still in the character screen.

That's epic win right there.
Sounds like they learned a great lesson from city of heroes.

Also Total Biscuit just showed in his two videos he just did on GW 2, you also have a city dress tab. Hence you have another set of cosmetic clothing that you can wear while in the city and switch too if you don't want to run around in armor.
Add in the fact that you can use a transmutation that are bought by using Karma points, as well as other rewards, for participating in Dynamic events. Transmutation stones will allow you to take stats from one piece of gear and put it onto another if you prefer to keep the look you have going.

Until it goes to beta at the very least, anything we see in a "video" or read is nothing but marketing hype. Until we actually can play the real game, what it will have or how it will work is an exercise in wishful thinking.
I hope it's all true, but I think we've all seen enough games that looked fantastic at this point. But that crashed and burned when they were actually released to not get too turned on too soon.

Is all the GW2 PvP in canned maps with canned skills? They seem to be touting this 'you can jump in and out of maps at any time' business for their PvP, like it's some kind of innovation.
Where is all the PvP that ISN'T predictable?
