I am thinking about getting GW, but im not sure on one thing. It says on the description for GW that you dont have to spend hours grinding. How does the GW level system work?

If you play through the game only by doing the main missions you will reach the maximum level cap which is 20. After this, the game actually just begins and you'll be able to gain many skills to combine and make a awesome combo or a dreadful flaw. (You can carry 8 skills at a time and have a choice of about 300 per character which makes the combinations almost unlimited)

there are 25 missions (non pvp) to start
there are 60-70 explorable areas (non pvp, not small) to start with additional content to be added by streaming in

from GW

Guild Wars, in contrast, is based around your skill as a player. Our maximum level is twenty and you hit that very quickly, after about 20-30 hours of play. ,We call that 'The Point of Ascension'. Almost all of the content in the game and in the future Chapters is only available to Ascended characters, which means we don't have to worry about providing different levels of content. All the good stuff will be available to everyone. It's not our intent to force people onto the levelling up treadmill, so the level cap in Guild Wars is almost meaningless.

edit

this will be streamed in shortly
