Well said in all points. Wouldn't surprise me if all these people posting saying GW is fine as is and not an MMO never played a real MMO before.

well, Tarun. what strikes me as odd is that MMORPGs get discussions such as these. I wonder if there's threads like these on say CounterStrike forums with people complaining there's no Redeemer in CS, and that CS could be so much better if only it was more like UT with all those nice weapons from Quake too!
I do not imagine this to be so. Instead I imagine people who feel this way are actually playing UT instead of CS.

I played WoW for a year alongside GUild Wars, I left WoW for a reason. If thats truly the direction you want to head in terms of spending your personal time then please by all means get a WoW sub.

And as for 'Good pvp is WoW pvp'
ROFL
There's no way you played that crappy game then.
Battleground waits =
'You have entered the queue for Alterac Valley/Arathi Basin
Estimated Time: 40minutes
Time in queue: 3hrs 22mins'

And then theres the powerfarmer who 1shots you thanks to all his crit gear

and then theres you trying to gank with 800latency...

OH GOD, I MISS IT SO MUCH I THINK I'LL CRY

good luck there.

I think guild wars could be sooo much better. how I don't think it will get any better. The instance is great in guild wars the level cap is perfect. The lack of rpg will kill the game. The lack of story will kill the game. the lack of freedom in the game, will kill it. Guild wars doesnot need to be like wow. it is far different than wow. The pvp could be hole alot better.

New races would be cool. how ever comparing guild wars pvp to wow. Guild wars pvp is far better than wow by far. iF you are talking about massive armies yes that might work, i say might work. having mounts yes you are right that would be cool.

So, you're saying: Guild Wars would be so much better if it were WoW.

Valdis · Jun 06, 2006, 03:08 PM // 15:08

I personally like GW the way it is, why would you ask GW to be an inferior product, like WoW?

In GW the game play is much faster in every aspect that I have seen. Though I have minimal actual playing time, my friend plays it and i have to fight to stay awake while I watch him play every Sunday night.
Example: They take 40 people into a dungeon (all level 60).... I sat there in total amazement while these 40 people struggled to kill a level 63 elite... that makes no sense to me... and after they kill this monster they sit there for 15 minuets (literally) before they move on. Someone who has played this, please tell my you wait so long after a battle?
As far as the cap at level 20, KEEP IT! There is no benefit to having a cap at level 60 (soon to be 70 in WoW)... it all works in multiples. If we go to level 60, the only thing that will change is that all the melee and spells damage will be multiplied by 3 and the monsters HP will also be multiplied by 3.. its a wash (unless it makes you feel like a man to see bigger numbers on the screen)
Instanced, KEEP IT TOO ... it sucks having to wait for a boss to respawn.

The thing I love probably the most about GW is Builds..... In WoW you can carry and use all your skills at anytime.. GW forces players to actually think before they leave the town or enter FoW, UW.. If we could carry all our 100+ skills with us at the same time... Game Over. Not to mention, we couldn't see past our skills to actually fight anything

sure, factions got less content than prophecies, but i still love the game, there is room for improvement, and i trust that Anet will do its best to improve the game, personally, i got my $50 worth of gaming time, and yes from time to time i get bored of playing GW, but guess what i do? i go play other games, continue writing my story, do other stuff, remaning away from my pc for a few days, and when i get back, there is a renewed need of gaming.

Anet doesnt have to copy WoW ideas to make this game better, they can and they will develop their own ideas, and will add them as they see fit, after all, its their game.

Mounts are not needed in GW. We can warp from town to town and everything in-between is close enough to run/fight to.

I like WoW's strategy to keep players playing and spending money while not actually doing anything. Once again I watched as my friend bought a ride from one side of the map to another... he paid like 5 silver and watched as his character was flown for 20-25min... a waste of time and money, in my book

And out of the 1.5m playing gw, roughly how many do you estimate to be, bots. etc...No different.

I hope you guys don't mind but I'm closing this pile of flamebait.
