This. Please remove the returning annoying mastery point pop-ups.
To add on the new player experience. Me and my wife came from years of WoW and LOTRO. GW2 core game is fine and offers abit challange. But when we went into HoT we got absolutely destroyed. We are very dependend on other people grouping to finish the maps, especially hero points. And there aren't alot of people. Forget solo-play, thats just for the core game. HoT is not solo-play and new-player friendly. And we still havent reached PoF. We bought everything up to EoD. If only we had known sooner.
