That really sad. You should not even be happy about that. This is an MMO. You suppose to take your time doing quest and meet new people. Not spend hours rushing to lev 80. Like what would yo be getting out of that. It just makes you look pathetic.
I personally like the fact that Anet apologized to the player. Classy move.
Leveling in GW2 is quite different from any other MMO, as it only functions to gate content. Most other MMO's make you level and level to max out, and then its as if the game really begins with access to endgame content, raiding, dailies, etc.
GW2 is the endgame. The whole thing. Content is always relevant no matter what level you are.
I agree 100% and another good point to mention is that it doesn't make for steamrolling of content. The fact that it downgrades your level makes everything challenging. Yeah, you get a little bump from gear and or skills earned, but you still have to pay attention.
First legitimate level 80. Mother of God.
