in Guild Wars
Isn't this game awesome
, I mean, its awesome for MANY reasons (ok, maybe like 3):
1.) Graphics are better than Wow's
2.) Its free, yes I said FREE
3.) Its awesome
4.) You can expand it if you want to
5.) Price is very decent
6.) PVP is the best for GW, I don't think even Warhammer will have better PVP
7.) Community is awesome, nobody whispers to you for money (noobs)
Tell me if you guys agree with this, or if you have anything to add, also, tell me the cons you think of this game

I totally agree on all point but one! The PvP point.
I mean c´mon, Yeah the games is great and all that, But the pvp only concentrates on team PvP, What happend with 1 on 1? I mean some people really want to test the skills against eachother, but GW do not offer that. Which, in my oppinion, is something I really miss in that game. (Look at EvE instead, Open pvp, HELL YAA!!)
but if you exclude that. The game is a total "knock-out":)
simple fact, its a team based game, if you don't like team based games, guild wars isn't the pvp game for you, simple fact
You can 1 v 1 in two different ways:
1) Actually 1v1 - Annouce in Guild or Alliance chat, " who wants to 1v1?" Wait for a response. Once a positive response is given ask the to come to the guild hall. Click Guild Battle. Set up guild fight with just you. Person you are fighting clicks on your battle and voila 1v1.
2) Hero Battle - Your 4 vs Their 4. It is only you and another person, your builds versus their builds.
So technicaly you can 1v1.
I might come back and edit the 1v1 to give the actual procedure.

The class is mesmer. Just consider how overpowered mesmers would be!

Not sure i know what you mean by overpowered Most of my builds eat mesmers for lunch.The class is mesmer. Just consider how overpowered mesmers would be!

That's indeed one thing I'd like to see more often in MMOs, the fact that you're not outright screwed up (especially in PvP) if you don't own every single boxed release of a franchise.

but in GW pvp you are screwed if you don't expand
The anti-leeching patch and the new /report features are shaping the community up quite nicely. I don't see as many racist, vulgar, obscene or misogynistic names anymore, and spamming has been reduced quite a bit, too.
However, a couple of us more mature players did report a user who was "Jew-baiting" (trolling with patently anti-semitic remarks) the other night. The report feature covers spamming and verbal abuse (as though anyone can be verbally abused in text chat), but has nothing to cover racist, sexist or anti-semitic remarks. Hoepfully, such a feature will be added.
As for the person we reported, hopefully they were given a "time-out."

Yep, the report feature is nice and does a really good job to fix the community problem. But I would still claim that GW has problems with it's community. As I said it's a good community, but calling it awesome is going too far.

I have been fortunate enough not to have met many idiots on the game (crosses fingers).

Stay out of RA, at least it used to have around 50% idiots, 25% afk guys, and the other 25% were nice guys. But it's "cleaned" up quite a lot. However, in the lower leveled areas it's still quite common. For some reason noobs always get drawn to me too *sadface*.
i agree pvp isnt 100% perfect but u can play pvp 1vs1 though. if both players are in a different guild and 1 of the guilds have a guildhall u can play guild battles 1vs1 its not the best solution but atleast u can play 1vs1 and u can play alliance battles !? no other game has that it owns (sucks my pc is so slow tho =( a well)
Guild Wars is NOT structured for 1v1 PvP... there is always one profession that can take down another = insta fail
It is and always was made as a team PvP game... Its called "Guild Wars" afterall
Yes i cant do anything but agree with that =p pvp is mostly about party or guilds and 1vs1 with 2 different proffessions isnt much fun (like just the other day i took my warrior/monk to a 1vs1 fight against a ranger and i lost badly=p, he crippeld me and i couldnt go anywhere xd ) but 1vs1 against the same proffession can give a challanging and fun battle but i think the huge pvp battles are more fun .
The games not free I paid $60 for it, its just that the other games rob you so bad it kinda makes you feel like its free even though you paid for it. I agree with everything else. More games like this need to be made.
The game is decent, yes. It's not really for any long-term play, but to bring out every now and then is nice. The community is the worst I've ever seen in a game, though, and that makes me not enjoy it, almost as much as how boring it gets being in an instanced area 90% of the time. I went to this PvP area when I first started the game and didn't know how to get out via the map at the time, so I asked around... the only responses I got were sarcastic, Alt-F4, noob, etc., and not a single person actually helped me out. Eventually I figured it out on my own.
The best part of the game is the cutscenes and storyline, but I can never keep interest long enough to push through all the missions for any campaign.
if you ever need a hand, just give me a shout in game
