1. Has better graphics and sound: GW2 > SWTOR
2. Worlds feel more alive, stuff to do, non-static: GW2 > SWTOR
3. Has better pvp modes and options: GW2 > SWTOR
4. Game Engine that isnt old and doesnt make your gaming rig chug: GW2 > SWTOR
5. Has more interesting playable races (that arent all humanoid): GW2 > SWTOR
6. Has the BEST F2P system: GW2 > SWTOR
7. Better CS: GW2 > SWTOR
8. Game that is most likely to still be around in 5 years: GW2 > SWTOR
My 2 cents!
Tbe Repopulation will be what SWTOR shouldve been.

Lol... I'm so mad that, at least for 30 seconds after reading it, I misunderstood that entire thing. I didn't read the numbers as a listing. I thought those were subsequent releases of SWTOR and you were saying each of these features GW2 has is gonna be better than the next 8 or so versions of Star Wars The Old Republic...
Oh boy am I silly.
This won't end well...
I agree though...

Oderint, dum metuant.
To be honest I can't understand how you can like one and hate the other... they are both WoW clones anyway...
They are both pretty much... well... meh.
GW2 is far from perfect if that is what you were getting at. While the points you bring up may paint a rosey picture for GW2 (and few could discount the points of comparison), GW2 does have a rather drab storyline, lack of emotes, lack of guild usefulness, lack of proression, lack of character purpose & comparison / rivalries with other characters. GW2 is extremely more anti-social than SWTOR, although that's not saying much since SWTOR had a strong single player focus as well, just not as bad.
Both games are just a throwaway themepark style game that someone will eventually get bored of, although SWTOR had more longevity (to me). 3 months of SWTOR compared to < 1 month of GW2. meh
Oh and SWTOR had a helluva lot better music score than GW2 has.
So ... SWTOR isn't the perfect MMORPG, but neither is GW2. If they ever had a child, it would be a kickass MMORPG though!

Recognize the voice? Yep sounds like Penny Arcade's Extra Credits.
Has the most bias fans that would tell a load of bull and gloat about it despite having no bearings on it. Gw2 > SWTOR.
Seriously, I'm not huge on GW2 as it is, i don't need you fanboys making it worst. Its bad enough for me SWTOR > GW2 (utilzing your lame post there and what you used) and I find SWTOR cringe worthy in terms of lot of its design choices and gameplay. Threads like this only make me look down more at GW2.
Yes, I didn't need to do that stupid > comparison, but heck, why not copy something stupid the thread started doing. XD
No you aren't silly.
Generally, when people write lists, they do so in the following manner:
1. blah
2. blah blah
3. etc.
In fact, rules of proper writing exist to aid in comprehension. When you don't follow the rules, the writer risks the audience confusing the meaning.
These rules also exist for the author as much as the reader. Most people write intending the words to be read. Therefore, it is implicit in the act of writing that the author wishes his words to be 'understood'. Therefore, a set of rules exist which not only help with the reader's understanding, but also help the author express meaning.
Ironically, 'grammar Nazi's' are often derided by authors. The person actually is sympathetic to the author. They understand the author is trying to clearly convey an idea, and they are attempting to help with that. Sadly, this often takes the form of sarcasm or at the highest aspiration, satire.
I too, upon reading the original post felt it 'hurt' my brain for the lack of organization.
As to the content of his post, I think my post tells you what I believe its merits to be. While I too believe GW2 to be a better game than ToR, the motives of the author were a lot clearer than the way he organized his list.
SMDH @ GW2 is a wow clone.
It might be many things right now, especially with the vertical grind addition but it's no clone, anyone still claiming that has never played it once. smh
On a side note, I'm finding out that people will spend money on just about anything doesn't matter how bad anymore. Just look at the climb in numbers in WoW. (even tho I haven't seen any new reports since just after MoP launched really.) Just look at how many people watched the honey boo boo child show or jersey shore. Point is people are going to pay for crap, even when they know it's crap. SWTOR isn't on the top of the list of great products imo either.
I playing TOR ,dont care for GW2...
GW2 is great game but I just I dislike it,hate asian bassed graphic , GW fantasy setting world/universe... but as I say it is great mmo
two very diffrent games.
GW2 at least got publishes who care about game not only profit.

But I don't like wow and swtor felt like a very badly done space wow.
Unfortunately for the genre, WoW is still better than both GW2 and SWTOR.
Keeping the AH offline for weeks at launch making the only way to make gold was to buy gems from their store with real money and then use those gems (you paid real money for) to buy in game gold. Hmm your right they dont care about profit lol
LOL this guy let me put my damn tin foil hat on.
Ppl are looking for the best thing the problem is that their isnt one. What we have now is different MMO for different kind of players. They will not be a one MMO better than another.
Each player has its own liking and will choose the game it likes the most. To get a new mmo that will have more than 10m players like wow, the dev have to comply to every player type which is hard sense we are getting more atune to what we like.
1. WoW : Most players that dont need a hardcore machine, and enjoy the warcraft lore.
2. Rift : Players that dont want to play WOW but want to play a new story completely
3. GW2 : Players that want to play a MMORPG but dont want to be logged for hours straight. The best benefit of a nonsub game.
4. SWTOR : Star Wars Fans of any type, also for players that prefer scifi lore.
5. TSW : Players that want to play on envirorement similar as reality instead of fantasy world or outer space
I myself played WoW, SWTOR, TSW, GW2, at the moment im with GW2 because i dont feel that im loosing money when I play (I'm a family man) also the lore for me is unique and different so that is something i like a lot. But the same may not be for you.
"YOUR GAME IS NOT BETTER THAN MINE BUT I KNOW MINE IS NOT BETTER THAN URS"
Time spent in-game SWTOR>GW2.
While I have been a critic of SWTOR, playing it through to max level was far more enjoyable than leveling in GW2. To this day I still don't have a GW2 character above level 30 and dont ever see myself hitting max level in that game. In SWTOR I got to max level with two toons before I threw in the towel.
What i hate is not the game but certain players that start comparing. I;m a Gw2 player but the OP really had to go that far to compare. SWTOR is for some ppl and Gw2 is for others and thats that.
Mmo's that can mate with each other. Is this the next generation we keep hearing about?

People on this boards never cease to amaze me :P
Main MMO at the moment: Guild Wars 2
