Default Things in other games that reminded you of Guild Wars

GW borrowed the concept from the classical constellations.

It's hard to fault someone else for deriving artistic inspiration from the same concept.

Actually, Warcraft had dragon lore before GW was even thought up. So ANet fails so bad, in actual fact.

That's why GW2 trailers which have existed for how long.... are the exact same thing as Cataclysm which has been previewed for like 5 months. I think I get it.

Actually, the first GW2 trailer and the Cataclysm trailer were released in the same month (in the same week, even).
