Try adding a lastname or a title. Instead of "Joe" do "Joe Smith" or "Joe the Valient" or whatever

Speaking of which, I'd like to join the GAF Guild, how do I go about doing that?
You are not wrong. Get in the guild and use the guild chat in game. People are more than helpful to answer plenty of questions you may have. Also try to hook up with some of the guildies as well. There is much you can learn about this game that is not explained at all.
Ex: when a buddy of mine got traits he went for 4 levels without even knowing what they were or how to use them.
Whisper the guild officers. Hawkian (Hawkian The Blade) is one good person who is on regularly, also Jira (gojira) is also good to get ahold of in game

Wait, the Charr have TANKS?!?
They're building the fucking Death Star.
I've burned out on WoW, had a couple of rebound resubs (usually around expansions or scrolls of resurrection and such) and never really got hooked by any other MMO after that. I've had a brief rommance with Cabal Online just because it felt fresh and different with its combo system - for what it's worth, it was fun while it lasted. Tried WAR too, was fun but quit after about 9 weeks.
Recently I've tried Tera (played for some 20 hours, didn't end up convinced) and The Secret World - a game with beautiful story, quests and mood, and a combat system devoid of all fun. Considdered resubbing past the first month but decided against it in the end.
Guild Wars 2 is fresh, fun, redefines a lot of stale MMO concepts, and the game gets more fun the more you play it. It starts off really fun but sort of uncomfortable, and from then it just grows on you bit by bit. Definitely the best MMO I've played since the amazing experience that was the vanilla WoW tried as a first MMO I've ever played, and leaves all the recent competition way behind. Give it a try.

You're going to have to explain how because as I said, I'm clueless.
The only thing I know is /g for guild chat? Or something like that...

Goddamn leveling is way too fast D: I'm over 45 now and basically just managed to get my race armor. I don't want to reach cap
Well after all, it is Guild Wars 2

GW2's greatest flaw is its first impression. It lets you play it like a WoW clone uneasily until about level 15 without really teaching you about the mechanics that make it stand above every MMO released in quite a while.
I equate it to like going on a first date with a new girl, and the first date is her being nervous and trying to be like the popular girl. You give her a second chance, learn she's into Magic the Gathering and Doctor Who and suddenly gives you that smile that makes you want to date her. Then she takes out two arcade sticks and proceeds to tear you apart in SF4AE, and then you want to marry her. You'll forever wonder why she didn't show that side of her during the first date.
That's what Guild Wars 2 is like.
Anyone having issues with the Chef profession? Trying to make some cookie dough but I can't discover the recipe! I've added Stick of Butter, Bag of Sugar, Bag of Flour and Egg but it says no recipe can be discovered using this combination >_< Have they changed the recipes already?

I guess I jumped the gun and didn't pay attention and created a 'home server' on another server. Does this limit me from joining the guild, and I guess I'm kinda SOL in that regard? Forgive my ignorance and impatience. I just wanted to jump in and play and assumed it followed the same server rules as other MMOs. I guess I should check out the manual or wiki.
It should be a default recipe in the production tab if you're the proper level.

Guild Wars 2 kind of gives you a warning when you consider Cooking over other professions. It seems to warn you how expensive it is and seems to tell you it requires a certain expertise. Is this true? Is it just for the hardcore??

To rejoin tailoring, it cost me 3 silver 40 bronze because my tailoring was level 34. I assume it's 10 bronze per level.
Since crafting is so expensive, is there any reason to craft? Can't you just give the ingredient to people (whom you trust) and can craft it?
crafting lvl 30 something stuff at lvl 67 isn't worth it..lol even with the xp booster. =/
And I probably wont' have the gold to continue crafting, might as well sell the fine mat?

Cool, you just convinced me. Now for this to finish downloading...
It's not too bad, but you will have to put in some effort to get to 400 at a low level. Doing certain renowned hearts (that require no killing) in higher zones to get access to peaches, oranges, etc.
My cooking levels have been jumping by repeating recipes using karma vendor / master chef ingredients. Trying to do things like other professions such as just discovering every iteration possible doesn't work well because that clogs the hell out of bank/inventory.
Weapon/armor crafters can vend or salvage their extra stuff to maintain space. You could vend excess intermediate ingredients but the moment something is consumable, I have to eat it or wait to offload it to the trading post (hasn't opened to me more than once yet) for probably low sums of copper.

TP finally back up!
I really hope the daily achievements won't be pretty much a different version of the same thing every day.
Also did they make the AI easier in the second human zone? Could have sworn these guys dodged and weapon swapped in the BWE's now they are standing around doing the same old thing over and over.

Easiest way to level
Also it's only expensive because the trading post is still down, expect it to become cheaper once the post is open and flooded
Random request, but could anyone take the image below and make it the right size for being a facebook cover?
I had to crop it a bit.

Lots of lag and random disconnects today. I DC'd 3 times in an hour earlier this evening.

If you want good AA use the SMAA Injector.
I'm not partial to smearing vaseline on my screen or over-saturating the game. Are there any real AA solutions available?
link?

Same for me. I saw the TP up and went to go to my bank to get some stuff to sell and then the TP was down.
Though I'm ok with it being down if the lag was caused by the TP honestly.

how are you lvling with crafting? I hear this all the tiem and I'm not getting anything. I use the discovery panel

SMAA is better than FXAA and whatever ones this game uses, and it doesn't take much performance hit like the other AA options.

How do I go about making a ticket?
Someone was selling a warhorn through chat, and I offered 10s. He never replied until I asked him how much did the other guy offer? He said 15s, then I was like damn, I would've offered 20, oh well. Then he comes and says, it's yours then. I wait a bit after killing some mobs, and finally send him his 20s. I reply after a bit asking what's up? He said he never got my silver. So either I got scammed, or I accidentally inserted his name wrong in the compose mail. Want to see if a GM can sort this out correctly.
