I had fun playing WoW until I got to the higher levels...
In GW the fun really just starts when you hit max level. (Though the 20 levels are heaps of fun too, they don't take that long)
Edit: of WoW
~I survived Eon8 and all I got was this crappy sig...
Yes! Finally a GW vs WoW topic!
It's not that I got bored with WoW...it just stopped being fun. The feeling of doing the same thing over and over again (some may call it grind, though I wasn't "grinding" for xp as such) with the exact same tools (ie. spells and skills never changed, just got upgraded) eventually made me quit for new experiences. I went back once or twice, but very rapidly the same feeling set in.
With GW, if I tire of a certain playstyle I can just switch up a few skills (within a class) and get an almost totally different feel to the gameplay. (Well, on nearly all of the classes, Warrior may be the exception)
~I survived Eon8 and all I got was this crappy sig...
From what I've heard end-game is nothing more than raiding instances. Which I'm even less a fan of than "grinding".
My main "hooks" for playing an MMO are storyline (ie quests and missions) and unique, fun and various, amounts of skills. I suppose that's why I like GW 'cause it has all that and more. Plus I don't feel like I'm chucking money down the drain if I don't play it for 2 weeks.
sorry man!!!
im NEW TO THEASE FOURMS!!!!

GW- Warrior lvl18 - Monk lvl4
Here's another one of these type of posts that we were discussing on the other thread.....
Not exactly the one that I mentioned, but another one that is asked probably at least once or twice a month.
At one time, if you look back far enough, I actually had a mini-FAQ posted that discussed the general etiquette of a section/forum.
This is for several reasons:
1) Knowing what gets people flamed (especially posting the same topic over and over) will prevent it from happening to the global "you."
2) You will see the kind of things that are already answered, such as the "GW a MMORPG?" and "WoW/EQ vs GW" posts that happen at least once a month, if not more.
3) You will get the idea of the people who regularly post here, and the "accepted" way to post a question.
4) READ all recent posts. This includes the first couple of pages. See if your questions/post had ALREADY been asked. If it has, read that thread. If it still doesn't answer your question, reply in that thread, don't start a new one or it'll just look like they are being lazy and get them flamed. At least if you reply to a pre-existing topic with a response that indicates you have read what is there, will get you a more polite and thorough answer. If we have to answer the same question over and over and over, we'll feel like no one actually reads what we write, and will therefore start the flaming a lot quicker.
Guess I'm gonna have to try and dig up that post again, as it seems the topics that were being discussed in beta and early release (all the way up to now) are still be posted regularly. At least it seemed to help the flamers (of which I was included now and then) because then the person would have no excuse short of being too lazy to read a thread.
In the end? Although World of Warcraft was more fun, It was limited post 60 on what I can do. Unlike Guild Wars the PvP aspect of the game is too overpowering. Players who do nothing but raids and give their lives to that game butcher anyone whom cannot in PVP.
World of Warcraft is a prettier and easier to max level version of EverQuest hands down.
Guild Wars is now an easier than before Diablo 3D wannabe with beutiful graphics (too realistic for my tastes) that you can enjoy even post 20. (still have tons of quests to do haven't finished story and I can hit Krytia anytime I want now for more fun not to mention a far more balanced PvP end game than WoW.)
WoW is for Raiders or first time casual WoW players.
Guild Wars is for casual players and/or PvPers.
My 2 cents.

That's the beauty of GW.... it allows you to have control of you PvP. You don't have to hunt down the latest piece of uber 1337 armor, and run around bragging about how cool you are because you have it. This game requires skill and strategy more than anything. That's part of what makes it un-MMORPGish. You don't just run around grinding for the best armor/weapons and then pwn everyone with it. Everyone in GW is on the same level... every warrior has the same armor, every ranger. The strategy is trying to find the right skills to complement the group and plan out the battle. With only 8 skills you can pick out of over 100-some-odd, it takes good pre-planning to even stand a good chance at PvP.
I could play the game for 2 weeks and beat people that have been playing it for months or since release. You'll almost never find that in a WoW/EQ/AC/SWG-esque game.
