GW2 is nothing like GW1 for starters, though the names of places are the same. It is a bit of a WOW clone but looks nicer.
The developers seem to ignore the players and add things that they want, and try make you play the game as they would like.
Its great fun most of the time, the last couple of areas were a pain at times, though they are supposed to have thinned the enemy down a bit.
You actually cannot go anywhere without being attacked by something. But I am on my 4th char nearly at level 80 so something is good
