However, he also mentioned it suffered because of casuals (what game doesn't, fucking casuals ruining every game) and they put too much focus on PvE and as a result the PvP suffered. So much so in fact, that it caused a majority of the top PvP players to leave the game entirely.
While his stories of the unrivaled PvP intrigued me, I hope they learned from GW1 and keep the focus on PvP because that's what sounds like it made the game shine. I'll certainly be playing GW2 if PvP is a main focus and they don't abandon it in favor of carebear PvE bullshit. If I want PvE I'll play WoW or FFXIV.
