Check out akamikeb's channel as well. He's been playing the beta and uploading different footage. There's a sweet tour of Black Citadel on there too that's worth checking out.

I'm just having a hard time understanding why so many corporations are pushing PVP as endgame *cough* Bioware *cough*, when it has already been proven (except for GW1) to be a total joke. How many MMOs in the recent years has pushed PVP as end game, and already shut down? I'm not even going to try and list them, considering there are so many of them.

Unless of course you count the F2P genre, and F2P games are so far out there that it's hard to count. F2P games don't require skill, they require bank roll.

If GW2 can continue the "PVP for end game" ideals that GW1 embodied, then all the power to them, so long as they can provide enough PVE content to sate the people who actually spent money on the game for something new, which initially GW1 provided, and continued to provide with every expansion.

There's a reason why WoW has been king of the mountain for so long, and I can guarantee it's not the PVP. You think they took WoW PVP off of the professional circuit because it was getting stale? Sure, there are still TONS of people that PVP in WoW, and I sincerely feel for them. But WoW is the king of the mountain because they have provided solid and (relatively) consistent content for the past what... 7 years?

As for me, I will solidly steer clear of any game that touts PVP as end-game. I have seen way to many games finally die because of that premise. And I hate to say it, because as much as I love the game, SW:TOR will be the latest victim.

Well, for the most part GW2 doesn't view itself as having an "endgame model" figuring the PVP can be done at any time at any level. So there is no big rush to reach end game and start playing the game for that aspect, like in the current crop of MMOs.

As far as PVE aspects, all dungeons are 5 man, and there are supposed to be 3 dungeons available at level 80. All dungeons start off in story mode, then once beaten unlock explorable mode. The Explorable Mode is similar to heroics, but unlike most MMOs you won't be running the same dungeon over and over because the reasons it is called explorable mode is that each dungeon will have 3 different paths that a player chooses from. Also like Pen and Paper RPGs, there can be various traps or other matters that happen when going down one path. Thus really in the end there are 9 dungeons at end game.

Also add in the fact of side kicking, the level scaling system, all content is viable to go back to and explore and quest in if you so desire to continue to explore. Since Dynamic Events all reward the same matters, Karma, Coin and XP, don't have to worry about junk rewards like in other MMOs as well figuring karma can be used at any level to purchase other gear or whatever.
