You see you fail to understand, as most normally do, that there are no quest hubs. The DE's are the "quests", the only normal quests like those found in traditional MMOs are the personal story quests. You don't run up and get a quest from a quest hub giver, all you can do is run up to a scout that will show you were possible DE's are taking place.

As has been said, we shall see...yet you can see this in action in many of the videos out there.
Dude. That looks awesome.

Too bad it's just another iteration of Blizzard's failed phasing technology.

First time since WoW came out that I've seen something I might want to try. I never thought I would move for Ashron's Call but WoW did it for me. The no monthly fee is another draw. I'll keep and eye out for beta.

You will have to expand on that one Arc. Phasing technology aka blizzard is some borked-up version where 2 people can stand beside each other and see different "phase" of the world around them. -> screws up grouping with friends etc.
This is dynamic changing world where the environment changes for everyone in one direction or another. So meta wise it is changed "phase" -> agree with you on that...but I do not see the correlation to Blizzards (weak) implementation.

I'm not much for expansion, if you don't understand what I said, you weren't meant to.

If it's not obvious to you by now, it's probably pointless to try and explain it any further. I don't claim to know how it'll work exactly but I'll be very surprised if it doesn't feel like the same old tech with a few new twists thrown in to make it New and Improved(tm)! Now with less suckage! Really!
But I'm probably just jaded...

Indeed, dynamic content is the next step on the evolutionary ladder of phasing technology. But MMOs (and SW in general) have limited bandwidth to grow from their current state.
That being said, if GW2 can execute their ideas, this does represent a potential "next gen" of mmo.
No month fee -> excellent start. When I pay a month fee, I feel "obliged" to log in to get my moneys worth. No fee = log in when you want, no commitment needed. Once this is not a "pay to win" model, then that is a big big +
Eliminate "time sinks" -> believe it when I see it. Again a true idea I think we can embrace. Make my gametime fun and engaging please.
PVP instances -> no "gearing". instant play level playing field. About time. This does offer the instant, level playing field that the genre is missing.
World v world v world -> if they can capture the magic that was daoc, they have a potential winner on their hands for a signficant portion of disaffected gamers.
sidekicking -> Good idea, want to see the implementation. But finally, you can play with friends whenever/whereever without have to "reroll" fresh character just for that purpose. (big issue for me grouping with friends who level at different rates).
Dynamic world content. -> I love the idea. I hope it is implemented well. The prospect of rolling an alt, with the zones in different phases of the evolution of that zone, is appealing. (ie seperate from ones own actions and the blizzard phasing idea).
Is GW2 an instant win? hell no....but the stars are aligning in the right direction, and the question is, can they deliver on their ideas and provide us with an FUN game with focus on gameplay?
