Try to play few Dota games I think you will find out why. [mod edit]
And I should say that its sure you need some skill in GW2 but not as much as the titles I mentioned. But if you disagree so I have to take it, your opinion. [mod edit]

Have you not seen my sig? I play LoL, and a lot more then what the sig says. If you would just speak instead of insult you could get your point accross a lot better.

Wow, do you know LoL is actually quite easier than Dota? LoL is so casual.

We should just leave it here before you keep calling people names. These forums are to discuss topics not to get mad at someone for not agreeing with what you say.

Nice way NOT to make a comment. Yes, GW2 is skill based. Why? First and foremost you are limited in the skills you can use. You have to know which ones have synergy and which ones don't. The second point is you have to watch your foe for skill tells and use the proper skill against what he is using. You just don't mash keys and play.
I played some MOBAs and while they can be somewhat skill based but I feel that GW2 needs more than them. When the game really gets going you will see what I mean. You really can't tell from BWE's and stress tests. This all based on my opinion vs yours and both can be right (in the eye of the beholder).

Are you sure? Have you read these forums lately?
I all seriousness, I think people have different definitions of the term "skill based". To some it's having quick reaction times. To others, it's memorizing tables of spreadsheets listing gear and stats. To others it is coordinating team gameplay. To others it's a combination of situational awareness and tactical flexibility.
I feel GW2 is more skill based than many MMOs because of that last one. In wow, I could AFK through fights while levelling. And even at top end, damage is nothing more than a rotation: get your best 5-6 abilities, arrange em on a bar, and go 1 2 3 4 5 6.
I tried that in GW2- I died.As a melee Mesmer, 2 is my most powerful single ability damage waise (blurred frenzy). So by WoW standards, I should be firing it off whenever it's off cooldown right? Wrong. Do I use it now? no wait, that warrior is about to wind up a 3 adrenaline uberstomp....wait for him to close in and start it, then I'll fire off my frenzy. Awesome damage AND he didn't scratch me. OK he's running now, going to use rifle; he's a smart boy. Time to use 3, then 3 again..he's rooted and I'm in his face. There comes another big attack...time to stun him. that should buy me some time to blow another big shot of my own.
I have to think and make split second decisions. Much like a good MOBA in fact.

What is happening on some posts doesn't mean that is what the forums are about. There is a clear purpose for the forums, some use it to just spout nonsense and usually they get warnings/bans for that.
