This is something you'll only ever hear from someone who isn't having any problems themselves, and is completely incapable of understanding what other people go through in order to try and play games.
When I first got into the playing the game, it was a time when both my wife and I left WoW to find something else. I stayed because I love this game; my wife tried it, and was unable to play because the combination of lights and something with the movement gives her extreme motion sickness. She's far from the only one who's had this problem with the game, and there's posts about it from the time that GW2 initially launched, but there aren't any real solutions to it. It hasn't really been addressed at any point.
Of course she's been let down by the inability to address that problem with the game; it's a disservice to anyone who's had the same issue that it has gone unaddressed all these years, and it's disappointing to me because the person that I'd like to be enjoying the game with can't play it. It could be an issue of being unable to track down the exact cause of the issue, or that the budget doesn't support trying to address it for affected players, but this is virtually no different than a game breaking bug for the people affected and it shows a lack of empathy by certain people posting here to not even make a base effort to understand what they're going through.
I have Parkinson's. Games that require fast button mashing are virtually impossible for me to play; I can't physically do it. There's a really simple fix that can be implemented for that problem, such as press and hold to complete those sequences; some developers choose to do it, and others don't. I guess I don't buy that companies who choose to do nothing shouldn't be called out it.
Try for just a second to put yourself in others' shoes and maybe you'll understand.
Couldn't have put it better myself, those who don't suffer will never understand the difficulties/challenges some players face or they don't want to.

I did have a friend (from another country) who played GW2 religiously, and now has had to stop because some of the professions were as she put it 'too flashy' she meant that the flashes caused by certain weapons and skills sometimes both set her epilepsy off, so as a result has now had to stop playing GW2 all together. (which is a shame)
Personally i think GW2 should implement some sort of adjustment mechanism into the game to reduce sufferers not wanting to play because they too suffer from either epilepsy or are extremely sensitive to light (which i suffer from, but i don't have epilepsy). I have Fibromyalgia, and one of the biggest symptoms is sensitivity to light.
Yes i do know you can turn down the graphics in the settings, but this does not solve the issues it makes the game vertually impossible to play for some.
And also give other players an option to utilize a colour correctness option for players who are colour blind too ( sorry for mentioing another game, it's for reference purposes) like Black Desert have a option to change the game graphics to suit players who have colour blindness problems, so they too can enjoy playing a game they love.
Implement some sort of adjustment so that it becomes more acceptable and be a more comfortable level for each player, please consider these thoughts/ideas for future gaming Anet and thank you for continuing to be my Favourite game 🤩

Will bender is my second favourite so far, love the visuals on the skills, using the skills took me a little bit to get used to but still liked playing it. ☺️

The pistol skills kinda suck really, thought they might have had a tad more condition damage (thought pistol was pretty meh) and the elixirs are boring to me.
But once in shroud the skills are ok just bearable and workable, i don't really like Harbringer as it is atm, who knows it may grow on me when expansion does come out 😂 😋

sorry for being late to this discussion, only just noticed it and was going to do a new one lol :)Here is my idea............. I too would love to see a underwater mout (i thought to myself as the skyscale came out) perhaps a Dolphin, as we see them playfully swimming round the waters of Tyria, instead of riding it's back (cos that just won't work lol) gripping onto it's top fin, pressing the appropiate keybind just under/or deep under the sea/water and be able to dive/rise with the commander attached at speed to be able to get to the under water events quicker, and it's special skill send a protective bubble towards your allies which gives roughly , maybe 6 seconds of reduced damage. just an idea.............and think of all the skins the fashion wars players could have lol ;)as far as i know we have several land based mounts, 2 air based mounts (semi flying style) and 1 water based mount, personally i think it's about time anet gave us another and final mount as a water based one . (to be more equal).As i said just an idea take it or leave it like marmite lmao :)
