you can not select the items you want to pick up; the game does it for you when you hit "F" and it will fill your inventory with so much crap that I spend half my time dealing with that trash.

Actually, this is incorrect. You target the items with a general movement of the mouse, by pointing your body towards them, and then by pressing the F button you acquire the "highlighted" item. While multiple items stacked very close to one another will be difficult to cherry pick, this generally only occurs with Boss monsters. The rest of the time you should have no trouble choosing what to pick up and what to ignore, with but a simple mouse gesture of mere centimeters.

As to the rest of your complaints, as The Dragoon stated, it seems you simply don't like the game. Fair enough. Don't purchase it. I myself have pre-ordered and paid for a Collector's Edition (I'm a sucker for such things), which I have yet to receive, so although I am "stuck" still beta testing the game, instead of enjoying it fully (with a planned subscription, I might add), I found enough in the game to satisfy me.

While I admit that the game is a bit sparse in some areas (both without a subscription, and also with one), overall I find it an enjoyable game. I do feel that Guild Wars has much more polish in many ways, but some of that undoubtedly came from time, not from the very beginning. Also, for all Guild Wars offers, I never took to the game, at all. Just not my cup of tea. I bought it solely for PvP, and they butchered that from day one, so I never found a home in that game like I did Diablo. Is that my own fault for expecting the wrong things of the game, or the designers fault for falling short of their stated goals? That's debatable, but I'm sure it's a little of both. I found the PvE game to be too... tedious for my tastes, but the nearly-complete dependency of PvP on PvE was just utterly stupid, and totally ruined the game for me. Because of that bad experience, I have no intentions of getting Guild Wars 2, although any future content for Hellgate I most likely will buy right off the bat, provided things don't go downhill from here.

I digress. I didn't mean to rant.;)Bottom line: if the game isn't for you, don't buy it. Just don't expect everyone to feel the same as you do.;)Personally, I have yet to decide whether subscribing has its merits, especially in lieu of Arena.Net's generous offerings, but I'm willing to give this NEW company the benefit of the doubt.

Good luck in whatever gaming you endeavor in.
