I say this Constantly and everywhere: Launch GW2 is my favorite MMO of all time: The Graphics, the characters, the starting cities and backstories, the public quests, every tier of leveling, every area of the world, it was chefs kiss amazing and great. I had three played all the way through level 80's, a couple more level 60's, the only one I didn't have at least leveled into teens was a thief, who I had at 10. I collected almost all the dyes, worked on a couple of epic weapons or their equivalent and generally reveled and basked in the game and the world.
Then came Path of Fire and I didn't recognize the game any longer. It was like a wholly different team had taken over, and very little about the game that I had loved survived into the expansion era. It was still the same game but somehow different, with different approaches to everything. Obviously lots of people still enjoy it, the Living Story had lots of fans but something for me was lost that I couldn't recover. I keep coming back to it from time to time; I am pretty sure it is downloaded and patched on this PC now, for instance, but I can't find a way back in. I keep hoping someone will open a Classic server for it but that never seems to happen.
