Would you play GW2 if it had the standard MMO A.K.A WoW combat?

We all know it, static,boring and very little skill involved. Im not saying it doesnt take any skill at all to play those MMOs. All I say is that you compare them to a game like LoL,CS, CoD the system is just easier to handle. Many people like it, I did at one point as well but if GW2 had this combat system I woudnt play it. Would you?

Again, just like with every other topic "If GW2 didn't have [insert feature here] would You play it" It's imposible to say.
If the combat was done differently a lot of game core elements would be change to fit the more traditional combat. The game would be completely different from the current incarnation. I have no dea whenever it would be a game I'd enjoy or not.
That said, at this point in time I'm looking for new things and new ways to do old things. That icnludes how combat works. So yes, it's a large factor in my game pick. If the combat is the same old 100% hotkey based stand and spam the game needs something else, something relalyi nteresting for me to even consider it.

YES PLEASE.
Copy/pasta WoW combat or ANY other MMO combat is really annoying in MMO's.
FYI I'm not a fan of GW2 combat either. Reminds me of upgraded DDO combat. 'Dodging' is just a temp invulnerability buff which is basically the same way rolling and blocking worked in DDO.
I would still play it but I am very thankful that it isn't the same combat.
i have to agree with this guy, im looking forward to playing the game but come on the combat is nothing new. its the same tab target and everything hits, hell in the stress test i was getting shot threw a wall by arrows just like what happens in wow.
It played like MMO combat to me....
Only difference was dodging and lots of skills are directional.
Apart from that it feels like anything else and I'm pretty sure they aren't anything new.
same here. bad poll btw.
The game would then be like a girlfriend with a hot body and an ugly face. I'd be like....meh It'll work for now, but I'd still be shopping for an upgrade.
I agree too. Just because ranged attacks don't heat-seak you, doesn't make the combat way different than traditional.
I dunno downed state, dodges, weapon switching, no dedicated roles, tab targeting not required for all skills, skill combos, and probably something else i'm missing doesn't sound like WoW combat at all.
It's like saying Battlefield combat is the same as Call of Duty combat which it isn't at all
can you name the mmo ?
for me its the B2p that won so i would still buy GW2
but the combat they have in it is really good so i don't understand why they would want to go back to a old slow standing still system when the one they have is 100% better
Bet you guys did not know you can play the game like a 3rd person shooter by disabling 1 option.
I was playing last beta using ranged weapons and actually had to aim to hit my enemies.
BOOYAKA!
Thnx god GW2 has NOT the WoW combat system...
WoW is so outdated,srry to say....
...couldn´t stand that combat anymore....
I agree...
I wonder what it would take for these folks who think that GW2 combat is the same as WoW's to consider the combat different. Would it have to be a full-on FPS?
I feel like people who think GW2's combat is the same as WoW's really have a poor understanding of MMORPG combat, so they can't distinguish between two things that are glaringly different to anyone that is experienced.
It's kind of like how an artist would look at a "blue" object in a painting, but see 20 different colors, while the untrained eye would simply think "blue."
Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob?
