Cool. Then Macs can stop being sold because more people have bought PC's. OSX and Linux should stop existing because Windows has more users. Because every single person is pleased by the same thing and isn't allowed to have personal preference.

Oh, wait.

Macs can get away with it by charging like $500 more then a comparable PC. Apple doesn't need to make their margin on volume. ANet DOES, because GW has no monthly fee. They don't have $180 coming every year to them from every player from just monthly fees alone. All the money they have to pay their engineers and artists has to come from the cost of the game. That means they MUST sell a lot of copies of the game.

Also OP, you really need to get your reality checked, just because GW2 will have some more common MMO traits doesn't make it anything remotely close to WoW.

Also instead of nitpicking on the shit nobody care's about, how about comparing the core stuff like the idiotic combat system every MMO and their mother uses, and an actual skilled combat system that GW uses?

A lot of the things mentioned are reasons why I like and still play Guild Wars.

Not worth commenting more since this will likely be locked?

The "economy" argument really worries me. Are you saying that you would like to be forced to farm out gold in order to be functional in the game? Should only the people getting lucky with BDS, VS, Obby Edge, Silverwing drops be able to afford constant traveling, the ability to keep their weapons working, and properly functioning armor? Guild Wars separates itself from other MMO's by making characters completely functional and effective very early on in the game. If I don't want to farm, I shouldn't have to, and I shouldn't be punished for not doing it.

If you'd like to play WoW, go play WoW. If you'd like to play WoW without sub fee, go play Runes of Magic.
