WoW is better

I have both games and simple WoW is much better, guildwars has to little grinding, im like 'what the hell!'?
IM USUAL A COW. MOO
you play a week and you ar level 20! What happend to the grinding i love so much!?
Anyway to get into some details, World of Warcraft has a smoother control and the graphics ar quite diffrent, And ONE very bad point is that almost everybody looks like the same by having the same equipment and the same appreance of the equipment which rarely changes you just have a 'few' armor-sets - (meaning a few diffrent armor looks) and a few weapons and the stats arent really that diffrent, you have no very high-end (extremely good) sword or anything.
What do you play this game for if you dont advance? every game has a task at hand having you to advance, that's the nature of games.
But what do you do when you are level 20? You have completed the whole story-line quest? You have high-end equipment? Go like the usual thing? PK-Farm?
YES! There ar also a few more minor problems with guild-wars as you cannot really interact with the enviremont, If you want to jump OF A cliff you simple cant.
Everything is instanced, even towns, towns have a limit of 50 players.
A mmorpg trulhy is a graphical social world with alot of interaction with other people, that's why you play a mmorpg. Guild wars just simple does not have that & compare, it's nice, but dont expect it to cover-up one of the greatest real mmorpgs.
Guild Wars deserver a 7 and a remove from this website.
Just poined out how bad Guild-wars is and how far away it is to be a great game mmorpg.

First off. The devs at area net made the game to be as little grind they could, they wanted it to be not easy but not spending hours and hours tryin to reach a certain lvl. If you like the grind stick with WoW.
When you reach lvl 20,,,thats just the beginning really, that is when the pvp and gvg really start gettin fun espeacially "the tombs." The story dosn't end, I made it to lvl 20 and still have plenty of missions to finish.
The whole not being able to fall off a cliff because of the invisible walls is for stratagy purposes, yeah it would be a lot easier to just run straight up to the mtn to the guy you wanna kill in pvp, but with the walls it makes for you actually having to think about a stratagy.
and GW is not an mmorpg,,here is a quote from the GW FaQ at the GW website.
"Rather than labeling Guild Wars an MMORPG, we prefer to call it a CORPG (Competitive Online Role-Playing Game). Guild Wars was designed from the ground up to create the best possible competitive role-playing experience. Success in Guild Wars is always the result of player skill, not time spent playing or the size of one's guild. As characters progress, they acquire a diverse set of skills and items, enabling them to use new strategies in combat. Players can do battle in open arenas or compete in guild-vs-guild warfare or the international tournament. Engaging in combat is always the player's choice, however; there is no player-killing in cooperative areas of the world."
and you say no social interaction with other ppl,,,yeah right, my friends list is full of ppl all across the US and canada,,,there is quite enough social interaction.
You're right, which forces me to wonder what it's even doing on MMORPG.COM. Guild Wars is a good game for what it is, but it's not an MMORPG.
Anyway, neither WoW nor GW is "better" just as neither Chess or Tennis is "better".
Well it sounds to me that you have no Idea what your talking about. Guild Wars limits your top end level to give everybody a even chance to compete with one another. WoW is a total Hack and slash with Uber characters that move in on some pore little guy and BAM BAM BAM he's dead and you have just distroyed his gameing experience.
Where Guild wars is more like prize fighting withh hammers and Swords and using a brain with a knowledge of the use of stratiagy. It's a game of skill not power. You wouldn't put a welter weight in against a Heavy weight in a pirze fight and that is what WoW is all about.
Any Idot with a mouse and a Keyboard can play WoW and pound the brains out of a Noob then run off and say HA HA HA did you see me waist him. But let me see you stand up to someone at your same level with a brain and the stratigic know how and I'm sure that your the one that would have his brains bashed in every time.
WoW only has two RPG servers That I have played on and they are a joke because, WoW is not anywhere near being an RPG, it is a Hack and slash game and as far as Hack and slash games goes it's great in fact it is with out a dought one of the best hack and slash on line games I have ever played.
Where Guild wars Has a good 35% of the game dedicated to be RPG in that there is a main story and you play a role as a character in that story. But the real purpose of the RPG part of the game is to teach you how to use stratagy and tactics so, that once you enter the Guild Wars and start fighting in the Arenas you won't get your ass handed back to you every time you go in.
Now as far as claiming that WoW is better or that Guild Wars is better well that is just plain stupid. Both games just happened to come out within the same 6 months and both are trying to gain a following but your talking about two totaly different types of games with as much difference as football and baseball have between them. I happen to like watch American Football and hate watching Baseball but I like to play baseball that doesn't make American Football better than baseball just different.
So if you like WoW better great Look for a level 54 Human with a Giant Hammer. That will be me. Then come up to me and piss me off in the game of WoW and I'll hand you your butt when I show you what Hack and Slash is all about Just don't look for me too soon Because for the next couple of months I'll be playing the game that requires a brain "GUILD WARS"!
Sorrt typo I put a 74 in where it should read 54 this stupid plastic cover and my two finger typing, its lucky I didn't put in 94,
Don't pull on a Dragons tail you never know where it's been!!
I feel there are two important points I should highlight:
1. There are 60 levels in WoW.
2. You are a liar.
Your welcome to your opinion, if you actually played GW beyond the tutorial (unlike Chrisel, and some assorted WoW fanboys for instance)... but so what? Different people like different things.. how many GW vs. WoW posts do we need?
You like grinding.. you like WoW better.. someone alert the media, we need CNN here this is ground breaking stuff.
What do you get out of Guild Wars being removed from this website.. financial compensation I hope.. because otherwise wanting the game removed simply because it outrates your favorite game, makes you less than pathetic so I hope you get some kind of pay out of this ranting.
I stopped reading at that line.
For the record, both games aren't good.
Wow,Thanks for this beautiful flamming topic!

Ok guys. Guild Wars is made for those of us that have played mmo's and are TIRED OF GRINDING. WoW appeals to everyone b/c it is simply easy. All you have to do is grind. Many have my friends that are complete NOOBS at games and have never played pc games b4 in their life talk about how good they are at WoW b/c they have a level 60 charactor and shoot some spell from a distance and kill people and laugh. I have also seen this in action. GW is just a different game but its on here b/c it has some mmo charactoristics and you cant deny that. if u like grinding then play WoW and you would have also liked diablo 2 b4 the 1.10 patch. This game is different. Its also funny how GW out ranks WoW and u want it off the site because it "sucks"
Ye! Guild Wars is not a mmorpg. Stop comparing it to them.
"What do you play this game for if you dont advance?" MOO you just dont get it. GW is designed for its endgame content, and the teamplay PvP. Get over it! Your disbeliefs are only going towards making it unbalanced like shitty WoW-PvP.
Now please jump off a cliff.
