.....I would still play it.
Are you really comparing combat and animations in GW2 and TSW and think those in TSW are better?
Well, it's of course only a matter of personal taste, but huh...
Oh, and to those who still think GW2 is a pure tab targetting game, try to turn off "auto targetting" in the next beta event... you may be surprised... some of us already noticed that you can use your skills even if you target nothing at all.
Respect, walk

I will adress the one part that I feel is not a direct attempt to get people to flame eachother or you.
No, the game hype would not go away just because it had a sub fee. If it was only so hyped only based on the buy2play model GW1 would have done 100x better than it did. Alot worse, less innovative/improved titles have had and still do have a sub fee and got just as much hype.
To say its a sandbox is just as silly as saying "its the best looking F2P game comming out". The payment model has NOTHING to do with art/graphics or game mechanics. Thats just silly and uninformed to say.
Want an honest, levelheaded review? Here goes in a fast and simple explination.
Its a themepark MMO. It is enhancing current mechanics of themepark MMO's. Combat is a combination of tab target and action based. Its questing is still "collect and kill" quests though through a more dynamic system. PvP is your typical themepark PvP with a verry large map that has sieges and battleground PvP. PvP in its huge map(think large enough to call open world) is world vs. world. vs. world which the intent is to have server pride. Built into that is the ability for guilds to capture keeps to add to guild pride. Character building is actually verry indepth and I would reccomend looking at everything that goes into skills/traits yourself.
That to me is the basic overview of GW2.
Good lord, first it was SWTOR, then Tera, now it's TSW? If you like your other game so god damn much then post in those forums. FFS, get a life.
Anyway, OP, there are already a few threads on the payment model, look them up.
You do know about GW2 culists in other game forums, right?
Does that make it right? I don't condone their action either.
Other forums I visit have a pretty strict policy against game vs game fights in their particular game forum. Would be nice if this site had a similar policy. I get real tired sifting through all of that bullshit here.
I know it must be hard for you to accept that guild wars 2 is just better.
Dont expect that here DJ. They would rather give a warning/ban for someone saying they arent playing any faction in TSW because they dont trust funcom than crack down on posts like the OP's trying to start flame wars. Its how MMORPG works. You can flame, troll, pretty much do whatever you want so long as you pick your words carefully. It doesnt matter how OBVIOUS something is so long as you word it right.
Hell no. I hate that myself, but i was just pointing out how this isn't a problem with just fans from other games, but also GW2. Hey, fanboys, what are you going to do, right? Also, i agree that these vs type threads get better moderation
Look dude, i like both TSW and GW2 and would like to get both eventually.. It's just that TSW fits my preferences more. When TSW gets boring, i'll move to another game, maybe GW2. And when GW2 gets boring aswell, like all themeparks and video games, i'll just switch to another. I play games from different genres to get different experiences. I don't limit myself to the "superior game".
Sadly this is true. And makes this site less appealing every week. The sadest part about it is that, because of the name, this site still has a lot of players who use it for information. What they get instead, are threads like these that bash / flame decent games with misinformation, slander, or just flat out lies. They also get threads that praise the latest FoTM game as being the best thing ever, only to waste their money on it. I mean hell, I've seen this site blow up over games like Aion, TERA; And we see pretty much nothing from either of those games anymore. They are already forgotten. Yet there's no consequences for the people who misrepresented those games with falsehood.
It is nice to have a site that allows for multiple perspectives / criticism on every game, but it would be nice to have a little more moderation in this regard.
I think it's hilarious that it's called a "thinking person's game" but to each their own!
Back on topic: Would pay a sub for Gw2 over any upcoming or currently released game!
It wouldn't crash onto anything... I'd pay a monthy sub for this game without even thinking about it...
Most polished game I've seen lately and it's still has tons of thing they didn't show us... AND not to mention it's still in beta...
REAL beta, not just this PR crap like TSW or SWTOR had.

Thanks for your input random internet guy 565638983!
I am sure everything you say is true and this game in no way has attracted attention with it's scope, ambition, imagination, and extremely high production values.
One question though... why are people not as excited about those 'F2P' games, which have even less of a barrier to entry, if the price is so important? Are they just not as good?
Just WOAH... I played the beta weekends and if you call this "a thinking game" ... -.-'
This game has nothing that could get you stuck, it requires a little googling and a little common sence. It's easy and boring at best... So please, stop bragging how you "can handle" TSW... You're just emberassing yourself.
"Happiness is not a destination. It is a method of life."

I absolutely agree, most boring game ever played.
Lol at the button smashing, and you claim you played both the games?
TSW is bad, Tera bombed, SWTOR bombed, D3 bombed and still people are hating on GW2. Bizzare!
I would actually pay a sub for GW2, it has already proven its gameplay thru BWEs, and the world is huge!! Content for months and months.
The PvP is like DAOC with some additions, and many players agree that DAOC was one of the best PvP games around, its hard to take anyone seriously when they say GW2s PvP is lacking.
GW2 is the only other mmo that I would pay a sub for at the moment, luckily enough I don't have to.
First sign of useless post.. OP havent replied inside first 5 pages... Why you post it and dont even care to answer?
Anyway test it, dont like it - forget it.
I feel with all MMOs it's difficult to decide if the game is worth it. I've enjoyed leveling in a lot of MMOs but once you hit that cap, then what? We'll see how things end up once the game is released.
Nope. Never paid a sub, never will. Subs are for people that believe to drive a car, they need to pay monthly for the keys.
I could not find a single thing in TSW that I liked.
IMO no mmorpg is worth the sub fee any more. All recent mmorpgs have failed to keep people interested for more than a few months.
My theme song.
? i would say GW2 on BW2 was in better state than the last TSW beta i test (an TSW will be release very soon)
TSW have many great things, animations/combat are clear not one of them
Gotta put gas in it, insurance, tune-ups, new tires, etc.
F2P, P2P, B2P all cost something somewhere down the line.
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
