Level 10 on one character is not enough for your opinion to be considered a valid view on the game. Try again when you've gotten a couple level 15+ characters of varying classes.

That and priests aren't recommended for a starting class when playing the game unless you plan on becoming a healbot; unless you spec Shadow, in which case you become a Warlock in denial.

I have to agree with Anshin. After all it only takes 4 or 5 hours at the most to get to LvL 10 with any character.

#1 - I hated most everything about the game. From how long it takes to level up, to the great distance you have to run to get and do ANYTHING, to how redudant the quests are. Different versions of 'go kill x monster and get x item that they drop' or 'go talk to x person in y city (that is far as hell away)'
#2 - It took me a good 10 hrs(as I don't power level, and I explored ALOT) to get to lvl 10. I also mainly only did quests... very little outside of quests.
#3 - I chose priest because healing is my favorite thing to do in RPG's. My favorite character, by far, in Guild Wars is my monk(and monks can do little outside of healing), so if anything could have enticed me to this game, it is healing.
#4 - The fact that i'm trying to beat out other people who are trying to do the same quest as me and kill the same monster(s) and i'm waiting 3 minutes for things to respawn.

Things I know I would hate if I kept playing:
#1 - it taking forever to level again - I want to level decently fast. Spending all of my time killing things doesn't sound like fun. I don't want to spend 20+ hours to try out a new character, just to find out I don't like it at all, or whatever skills I was planning on using don't work as I hoped.
#2 - the pvp system, from what i've heard, is crap compared to that of guild wars
#3 - the game is VERY gear-dependant, making what you wear the likely the most important thing

If you think priest is gear dependent, play a warrior. Man, trying to keep up with other warriors that played 24/7 was pointless.

You still haven't shown anything in terms of diversity and actually trying the game. So you played a priest to level 10. Big deal, I did too.

I can understand the questing. Having two level 60 mages and a level 33 rogue, questing does indeed get boring, but the diversity of playing another class or race entices me to play through again. Sure; going to location X to kill mob Y to collect item Z is repetitive, but then again, EVERY game gets repetitive at some point, it's just a matter of time.

The PvP system is fairly well done. Sure, it's not 100% balanced because of the amount of classes and diversity in level and gear; like most MMOs are. Guild Wars perfected this technique as an Online RPG, not a MMO. The focused on keeping the PvP and classes balanced; but at the cost of diversity within the gear, level, and amount of race/class combinations. I admit that I enjoy Guild Wars, but the lack of content can't keep interest.

They gear dependency, heh. Priests aren't nearly as gear dependent as people think they are. At end game, almost every piece of gear that's cloth has both +damage and +healing on it, or just +healing on it, making priests the preferred takers of loot, unless all said priests have better gear. Priests get gear like no other.

Play a druid, they can heal too; and they can also solo their way to 60 no problem. Shaman? Same deal, but they also get this neat little thing called a totem. Great for combat and healing, especially healing in end game. Paladins? More like healadins, plate wearing healers that never die.
