No. No. And what do you think they meant by “content patch?” Seriously we are getting “more shit to do” later today and all this week. People ate through the game’s release content pretty fast, yeah, but that doesn’t mean that is all the content the game will ever have. It is way to early to start complaining about that.

As for the healing thing, no. Class dependencies = bad. Arena Net doesn’t want them, so if you demand a strict healer role go play something else. Finally on gear progression, I’d rather not deal with power creep destroying content. Heck GW2 is designed so that old content stays viable; gear progression always, ALWAYS, leads to the abandonment of older content due to power creep. Those things just don’t go together. Gear progession simply won’t work in GW2 without a massive fundamental redesign of the core gameplay.

“now just need healing, gear progression”

Oh gawd, no, please not these.
I fully agree with Jonathan Hornsby.

Is “more stuff to do” running the same content in an endless progression to get “better” gear?  

If “better” means that the gear gives you an insurmountable edge over your opponent (who doesn’t have that gear) then you’re talking about WoW. If “better” means that the gear is very cool looking and is essentially a badge of honor then you’re talking about GW2.In either case there’s plenty of “stuff to do” in either game. Which game you like just depends on what you mean by “better” I suppose. 

I do, however, find it “better” that I don’t have to pay a monthly fee.
