GW has no monthly fee, so I play it. If WoW had no monthly fee, I'd play that too. :P

In my opinion WoW just looks ugly artistically. Soo many random colors, hurts the eyes, purple trees? What the hell were they smoking?

That says it all for me.

Although I might start playing WoW even with the monthly fee....

I'd play WoW if it was free, but it's not. GuildWars is fun, but in it's current state it definately can't hold your attention for a very long amount of time unless you're really, REALLY into arena PvP (which I'm not). I enjoy other RPG style PvP a lot more (raiding, big wars, etc), though I'm not fond of high levels ganking the shit out of lower lvls, which is why I'd LOVE to see GW have that sort of PvP as well, since there'd be no ganking in that sense.

WoW would be fine though, it just costs a monthly fee. So...yeah. That's a "no".

since I joined a new Guild recently the game has become fun again. I am in Arturo02's guild now. They are a great bunch. Helpful, considerate, kind, and they play smart.

You would know...

Personally I like pvp and I'm still playing it.
Sometimes I switch over to halo for fps action.

I've played both, and the way it seems to me is like this: If you want to pay for a complex series of quests (albeit with crappy appearance and having to walk everywhere) then WoW is what you want. If you want badass graphics, free play, and good gameplay then go for GW. The only downfall in GW that I can see is that the game ends so quickly, whereas in WoW the quests seem to go on forever. Even so, the graphics alone of GW are something that'll keep me playing it instead of WoW.

I don't get the point of debating the pros and cons of stuff, cos GW's is for some people, and WoW is for other people.
