GW2 Beta w/e

Managed to play a bit in the Beta WeekEnd this weekend. Hmm... maybe I'm just to old and slow to catch on, but I found it frustrating. I didn't know what to do, how to do it, where to go... when I did decide what to do, lots of distractions would come up along the way to take me off track.. Then I'd be button-mashing to kill some random beastie - a stampeding minotaur, a grawl thief, or some other critter - with lots of other people who had miraculously turned up.... All in all, a bit too chaotic for my liking...
