  Tailoring is useful in mainly one aspect and one aspect alone.
  
  That is...making sexy 8 slot bags to hold 2 times the amount of stuff compared to using just 4 slot bags that you buy from NPC's.

  I've seen this too, and so has many other people. I tried my best to be social while playing with strangers, but I can feel the awkwardness.
  
  The ease of doing things together without having to take the time to party up or plan things out (because events happen regardless of anybody's consent) seems to put less emphasis on communication, as it reduces the necessity of it.

  
  
  That makes a lot of sense. I don't know why way I like more ...

  Yeah ... That's all I did with Tailoring. :point:
  
  Thankfully, you can just change to another crafting skill. Or just buy them somehow? I assume higher level Tailors can make larger bags ... so that would be cool.

  One of my few grievances would be the chat system. It just seems very basic - short of expressing a "Thank you" or a "No problem" ... no one really seems to talk. Maybe I just haven't delved enough into it.

  Did you two have the map chat disabled? The map channel for me is usually quite talkative, and I usually have a lot of interactions through there.

  Didn't have it disabled. In fact, I've talked there quite a number of times, usually to answer questions.
  
  Then again, it's a region-wide chat. At least I was talking about "face-to-face" talking when around other players.

  My only complaint about this game is that people aren't to social unless it's WvW.
  I rolled an elementalist and specialized in massive aoe damage.
  Meteor shower and glyph of storm is amazing.

  I think maybe part of it was the time limit.
  
  You had, from even before you downloaded the client, a time limit to play. Everyone was probably focused on using that time efficiently, and avoided investing their limited time on something with the potential to be downright unenjoyable. (I witnessed my share of arguments over pettiness.)
  
  If that's the case, you can expect people to be more relaxed and sociable come the release.

  I was able to play in this beta and I was apprehensive at first having freshly come from experiencing GW1 but after accepting that the two are very different games I came to enjoy it and eventually just got hooked. I made a norn guardian and got to level 22 or so just mucking around and doing whatever the heck I wanted to do. The event at the Frozen Maw was pretty cool and I'm somewhat proud to say I got to loot the boss' body most of the time I took part (not that he dropped anything good but hey).
  
  WvW was cool but my server sucked at it so whilst fun I got sick of my team getting constantly owned lol.

  I hadn't seen that video yet, really enjoyed seeing how much they love the game!
  
  Also, not sure if ya'll noticed.. but they named the character "I am Mesmer" when it hadn't even been announced yet. Made me chuckle a little XD

  I'd have to agree with the French community manager.
  
  There are times when I didn't want to partake in dynamic events, especially the ones I dislike, but because there were other players around and because of how easy it is to jump right into a dynamic event (and get rewarded), I just... simply did it.
  
  It feels so much more fluid than any PUG content I've seen of any past MMORPGs. Dungeons in past MMORPGs were never as easy or as fun to get into than this.
