So both WoW and GW have killed themselves in this sense?

Heh, I guess I'll get in on this action:

1) "LOTR is ripoff of King Arthur, 40K+Starship Troopers are ripoffs of Star Wars and Dune..." You see where this is going? And GW isn't anymore original than WoW.

2) Only one plot? I guess I can understand that since they are all essentially the same in each campaign: Big bad guy threatens to destroy world, heroes save it. The end. Of course, it's what happens in between that matters, along with all the characters in such.

The plot in WoW is your story. The characters in the story are your friends, guildmates, and enemies. The story is much more up to you, the player, than it is the devs.

There are also pretty cool themes throughout the WoW universe, like the questchains that become linked to some of WoW's currently most evil bad guys.

3) Guild Wars isn't free, just cheaper.

4) Grind is pretty subjective. As of right now, I'm lovin' the quests that have me go around a farm, killing peasants, and collecting their skulls >: )

5) The graphics are one of WoW's biggest selling points. The better the graphics are, the more inaccessible the game becomes: Since the graphics are not terribly high-end, the game is able to be ran on older computers for people who can't afford a completely up-to-date machine.

Both look pretty good in terms of design, though. Win-win here.

6) This experience varies. For me, I've experienced less idiots on WoW than in GW. This is mostly due to luck, though, my servers are awesome. But likewise, I know people who have had *horrible* experience with WoW but awesome ones with GW in terms of player interaction.

1) Its relevant as blizzard have NEVER produced an original game in thier history. All of them have been rip offs of other games. EG warcraft a ripoff of warhammer and LOTR, starcrap a ripoff of warhammer 40k and starship troopers.

And yet all of Blizzard's games own. You know, it's not call copying these days, it's call "being inspired by". Are you going to bitch at Japanese people for improving the inventions? Seriously, do you think GW is based on nothing but imagination? Where the hell did Dwarves come from?

Quote:

They want to create something new and original and they did.

That originality is being replaced by a WOW clone for GW 2, want to keep going?

2) Yes GW story was original and if you had actually played the game and took any notice. You would of learned that there is actualy only ONE plot that covers all three chapters. The plot of ETON was sperate. So there are two end of the world plots not four. But at least GW HAS a plot unlike wow. If you have played any RPGs you would of found most of them are about the same things.

Guild Wars has one of the worst stories I've ever encounter in any RPG. Seriously, NOX had a fantasy, child-dreamland kind of story, and even THAT was more interesting than GW story. GW story is so god damn predictable and didn't keep anyone on his or her toes. The ending was either retarded, unoriginal, or already expected.

Heroes saving the world from a big bad guy is an original story? Have you ever read any books at all? Wait, why did I even bother to ask. Someone with your intelligence wouldn't understand books anyway.

3) As you have to buy wow when you start too and THEN pay to play. Where as you only have to buy GW and then its free. As you well know. So how about you look up pedantic in the dictionary. wow so you pay $15 a month to have gms ignore you for weeks on end and a crappy auction house. Thanks but I would rather have the FREE anet support and the FREE trade party search.

Really, so why the hell is this website bugged with complains and QQs toward Anet? Seriously, you get what you paid for. You know, since you are so obsessed about this whole money issue, why don't you not turn on your PC, save electricity.

Quote:

4) Have you actually ever played wow at all. As its nothing BUT grind for start to finish. ALL the quests are the same its just go here and kill X of Y or Get X of Y by killing Z. Once you get to max lvl then you go grind raids to get better gear so you can go grind the next raid.

At least the grind in wow actually give you LEVELS and MONEY THAT CAN BUY WEAPONS THAT DOESN'T BLOW. In GW it's way MORE grind to max titles, and you don't get crap other than showing it to no one that cares in town. WOO SO MUCH BETTER!

Quote:

5) Sorry but when your graphics look like thier drawn by a blind 3 year old in crayon. There is nothing subjective about it. And no wow does NOT have more varied design.

Wow never tried to go for realism. If GW graphic owns so much, why does all the male models look like shit? WTF is up with the reskins? What about all those armor clippings and crappy spell graphics?

Quote:

6) By your replies I very much doubt you have played either game so you have no idea about the players therein.

By your replies, I very much doubt you are even beyond grade 4 with your maturity and intelligence, just shush.

7) Right so if wow pvp was so balanced before why is it only now after they have seen how sucessfull GW has been with PVP tournaments that they just started them.

If GW was so successful why did it come out after WOW has been uber kickass?

Dude, just stop arguing with these idiots. They like to think that GW is better in their fantasy world, let them. No amount of evidence or facts will change their stubborn little minds.
And they keep dodging the fact that WOW has WAY more players than GW because all they can say is "people who play WOW are retarded" when their own posts are corrupt with horrid spellings.

Inactive. I don't have enough time for WoW nowadays.

Plus Brawl in less than a month will consume all my remaining free time.

gw fanboys are the worse

the whole gw vs. wow doesn't even exist in the WoW universe..feel free to check the wow forums or ask around in game. ive found wow players really dont give a shit about gw or know much about it

both games are difficult to compare since they are so different...it would be nice if people just gave up on the whole gw/wow debate

btw anyone who feels blizzard makes crappy games must not know what they are talking about
