I don't understand how WoW is below Guild Wars

Okay, I don't believe this. Guild Wars gets a higher ranking that World of Warcraft. Guild Wars is great for the first three weeks sure but then it gets boring as hell and you are done. There is about 200 quests and the pvp is just the same damn thing over and over again. It's also not a fricken mmo for all you peeps who don't know about it. Its all based on your connection and everything is instanced, even areas where there are other people (which are only towns and outposts). Most of the time you find yourself playing alone. Well I don't see how a game with one of the best ratings of any MMORPG (every single CREDIBLE site gives it a 9 or above) and 5 Million PLAYERS. Thats not even accurate, it's close to six million now. (On a side note I went to Best Buy last night and they have gold stickers on the WoW boxes that say "5 Million Online!") My point is that WoW is one of the most complete online games. I know the pvp sucks at times but we can only hope for better pvp with the expansion but still, it's a great game with rough edges. Every thing is the same or better than other online games. I don't even see how EvE can get a higher rating. I thought it was boring as hell with the time it took you to fly everywhere and there was never anyone around and the controls were screwed up.
For any people that didn't know, World of Warcraft used to be ranked third, of course under Guild Wars and Eve Online still but now its topped by EQ2? WTF!?!?! A game with graphic leaks (I own it FYI), instanced world, bad graphics, and crappy to nil pvp.
I think that people have been seeding posts against WoW because they are jealous of it and have really no experience. They just want their game to look good but would any of you guys say that FFXI is better than WoW?
Well, sorry for taking so long but I just felt the need to express this and maybe some of you could revive WoW on this site because mmorpg.com is one of the most trafficked online gaming sites. Thanks and I hope I didn't bore you.

While I would imagine that there are some WoW haters out there bringing the rating down, there are also ppl who have played WoW and genuinely like other games better the WoW.
Im not a WoW fanboy or nothing, likewise with GW,
But GW is no way better then WoW. ... WoW has a little more u can do. but the grind sux
Here, I'll explain it to you then.
When all the scores that WoW and Guild Wars have received is averaged, Guild Wars comes out with a higher average score. Averages work this way, you take the total sum of all the scores and divide it by the number of people who rated the games.
Hope that clears things up for you.
Oh, and I like FFXI better than WoW. So, here's one of us guys saying it. I like the crafting and the team experience better than WoW's. Oh, and I think the classes are cooler.
===============================
If the vistors of this site vote for a particular game over another, that's their choice and opinion. Don't take offense at it.
GW is a fine game.
Ico
Oh, cruel fate, to be thusly boned. Ask not for whom the bone bones. It bones for thee.
Second, those who have taken the trouble to understand the class system and how to do good solo and team builds and pay attention to how the devs manage the various classes on updates know that GW's class balance and PvP is light years ahead of WoW. The strategy involved in GW GvG matches is so far above WoW its just silly and the kind of execution involved in being an excellent healer or mesmer is way more involved and challenging than anything in WoW.
People can dislike the PvE and that is fine but anyone who has done more than play the game 4 hours and quit understands just how much deeper team builds are in GW than they are in WoW. Sure you can do real good with a generic Wa/Mo build in arenas but in GvG and the new factions large PvP instances team builds take on dimensions and complexities that require some pretty impressive execution and astute design. WoW has nothing comparable. WoW PvP is very one-dimensional compared to GW GvG.
Why does it matter to you OP? Does the rating that other people give it make it any less fun to play for you? What happens if other people don't like the same things that you do? Should they change their minds?

and for a lot of people the ratings do matter....a good portion of the population play wow because its the gaming fad right now....kind of like the GTA games.
GW will inherently be rated higher by more players than WoW because of its price structure. People who love WoW often also play GW, might as well if you own it, and will rate both fairly high. People who play a different game and GW will still rate GW high. Being a flat fee but still offering a fair amount of content will forver give GW and advantage unless they start issuing expansions for more than ~$50 a year (total).
Just the way it is.

Wow, some people really are stupid and have no common sense. I was referring to memory leaks because of graphical errors. I said graphic leaks because the graphics cause the leak in memory. I think someone with SSOOOOOO much experience would be able to tell the difference and use some common sense. This proves that you were just trying to be a smart alec and try to make me look like an idiot. Someone who can't put two and two together (especially one who plays the game) doesn't qualify to subjecting me to that treatment.

I had a graphics leak once. You have to make sure to get that cleaned up fast. You have no idea how hard it is to get graphics out of beige carpet. And to the OP, heaven forbid that someone have a different opinion about WoW than you do.
Hahaha "EQ2 has a higher rating WTF!?!?!!?" Oh man, grow up. I also can't believe you said EQ2 has bad graphics and crappy PvP when defending a game like WoW, what an idiot.
How can someone be "jealous of WoW" you tool? We aren't MMO devlopers and we have nothing to be jealous about, if we don't like it then by golly we don't like it. Your precious golden WoW is infested with broken promises, a community filled with idiots, and a raid-oriented end game. And no nothing in WoW is better than anything. Except maybe shitholes like D&DO or SWG.
It made my day when DAoC rose above WoW.
"Time.." I chuckled "I hold no secret to time, though it's mystery puzzles me. Deny it's existence and lie to myself not with hopes of a quickened pace."
I would say it works like this, to most people WoW is the first MMORPG, so what we do is play until we reach 60 and get bored. When that happens, we sence a strange new feeling, wanting more of that online thing, but what, where, how...???
Then, we get on Google and search for sites with MMORPG thematic, find MMORPG.com, see that we can rate WoW, and because we got bored with it, we don't think very highly of it anymore so we don't give it high rating.
Other then that there are WoW haters and people who played MMORPGS before WoW so they know it's nothing special.
But EVE, well, I guess it's ok if there is nothing better around?!
OH MY GOD....I swear i cant take another O M F G WHY ISNT WOW t3H h1gest rating MMO!!!111 ZOMG...
You post is a baised flame, expect negative feedback.
Edit : And btw people like you get WoW rated so low. It would be a half decent MMO if the playerbase had half a brain.
WHY TAKE OTHERS SOULS WHEN YOU ONLY NEED ONE???
