That still amounts to only having a handful of MMO aspects. The majority of content is still tailored towards single- or party-based instancing. Kind of like if all the non-city zones in WoW were all instances and not an open world.

GW2 will certainly have its place, but not on my computer. Unless I get it free like I did before. Even then I'd go in thinking of it as a single-player game, else I'd be horribly disgruntled by the lack of a proper communal environment.
