Is Guild Wars 2 worth buying at the moment?

I'm thinking about getting Gw2 but I'm not sure if I should after reading about hackers and problems with bots? Have the issues with hackers and bots been fixed yet or are there still problems? What is the population like? are the servers and low level areas still busy? I'd just like to get some info before buying the game :)

Every MMO is going to have its fair share of bots and hackers, but ive never found it noticable at all.

Population seems fine, stick to the Human leveling areas, as their population seems to be the best (you can play another race and just go to the human areas to level).  The way leveling works is you scale down to a level aproximately apropiate for the area you are in, you keep all your skills and traits though.  You can still level up, and the XP rewards from events, hearts and kills scales to aproximately your "real" level, gear drops do too.  It's still optimal to go to apropriately leveled areas, you get more xp, but its still very viable to level in lower areas.

The game is worth the price of entry by leaps and bounds.  Just don't expect it to be something to keep you interested for years on end.  Very few GW2 gold games are as polished or have the amount of attention to detail as Guild Wars 2.  From watching grass and bushes rustle as you walk over them, to actually simulating your character's feet on theground in terms of elevation with hills or even steps.

You should do some research on classes and pick one that suits your playstyle.  Elementalists, for example, can have upwards of 50+ skills at their disposal at any time.  Some melee classes are stuck to about 15 and have intricate combos that flow into each other for optimal effect.  Builds are also important and go hand in hand with runes in the armor, sigils in the weapons and the food buffs that you eat (such as food or sigils that steal life on critical hit and you increasing your critical hit to something like 80% to make the most of it or something as an example).

I don't think GW2 is completely fail game, but it sort of boring after like 3 months of playing (for many people).

I found GW2 has way less content than GW1, so was very disappointed about.

TBH I would rather buy it when more content will be added (if it will be the case) or when game will stabilize in one direction (and not taking new after like every major update, it not much about new content, they add some but not that many, but about Guild Wars 2 gold game policy concern loot, items etc), when community will be created (not people in and out), also depending of how said community will be.

I mean if you can't be bothered about spend 60$, sure do: BOTs are banned fast, don't know about hackers, seems it's not game but I-net issue, gold sellers are also fast eliminated, so you don't have to worry about, IMO.

If you think you need more value for 60$, then wait till GW2 takes changes or look for anything else coming out.
