Guild Wars 2 is one of the more refreshingly modern takes on the MMO genre. Its lush environments are full of players banding together in the spirit of fantasy adventure. Exploration, world events, and single-player storylines are the name of the game, as ArenaNet does an impressive job of weaving massively multiplayer elements amongst story-driven RPG elements.
Before long, I found myself curious enough to give the game a go. Suitably impressed by the first few story chapters, I shelled out for the expansions, keen to see what else might be on offer. It was here the trouble began. For my purchase included a complimentary level skip token. Hungry for power, I clicked it. This, it turns out, was a big mistake.
