I don't think people will ever understand that these are basically 2 different games.

If you liked the style of WoW, as in the combat, open-worldness, etc. then no, you probably shouldn't switch.
If you're looking for something different, that requires more skill and has way better PvP, then you probably should switch.

Guild wars has a lot more skill involved in it from the start. I think Guild Wars completes WoW, but I'll let you decide. It's majorly fun and the PvP Is intense!

I just recently went back to GW. I have to admit, if you want the control of the game in your hands and not be at the mercy of "twinkers", AH pricing, and crafters who think their crafts are worht a king's ransom, then it what you want.

WoW combat is 80% gear and 20% skill.

GW combat is 70% skill and 30% character build.

Notice gear is not really an equation in GW. As long as you keep up to date with your gear, you dont need to worry about "twinking" to get the quest done or be good in PvP.

Yes, GW is short lived, since the max level is 20, but so what? With my return to GW, I thought I would hate the lvl 20 max. TBH, its not bothering me much anymore than what it did in the past. I have all three from the franchise and I am finding Nightfall and Factions to be very much fun.

My brother, a long time friend of mine, and I play it, and we been having quite a bit of fun. We got a guild, but its only the 3 of us (for now). And we enjoy its gameplay and its graphics much more than WoW.

Yes, PvP can be sometimes a pain, but thats the same for any MMOG that has PvP. But its has a lot more fun than WoW's PvP.

Later I plan on getting the expansion when its released, and then GW2. So far, it the only RPG, I seems to come back to and stick with.

If you decide to play it, you can find me in game almost daily, but at sporatic times.

IGN: Zenous Zi, lvl 18 pure nuker with pet (Pyro E/R). Looking for a Pheonix to tame..... Factions

Grym Grave, lvl 13 Warrior Monk (bleeding mender's build)...... Nightfall

Daemon of Khorne, lvl 10 Warrior Necromancer (bleed master)....... Prophecies

If I am not in game, I am either eating, sleeping, working, or in DDo...........

I do plan on recruiting for my guild, but at a later date. Guild name: House of Grave (Doa)

I've seen alot of cyber7chink's posts and I hate his gut to the core, but I have to say, I do agree 100% with him on this one. I love GW because it's not based on lvl or gears. Once u get hang of which skills to use, it all depends on how well u play ur build. And if u r pve kind, there r plenty of things to do: titles, quests, faction, and etc.

well i really liked the first one. got to level 20 then lost intesrest. i might have to buy the nightfall expansion. another thing i love about thdi game is no monthly fees, but i dont like the level 20 level cap, i'd prefer if it was a bit higher.... but if i buy trhe expansion do i need to have the first one on my CPU for it to work?

This probobly doesnt help but here http://youtube.com/watch?v=YcWXL8jpFGs wow vs gw video.

i have truly never played WoW but i have friends who say its pretty awesome and others who say it sucks ass. i think thats cool that it has soo many lvls but it does not matter to me because guildwars has alot to do with skill and thought rather than buying max armor and weapons. you can have the best armor weapons and shields and still be beaten by someone with actual skill. People who play WoW say GW cant be hard because you can only have 8 skills out. I say their dead wrong. what is their to do after lvl 70 in WoW??? i know that in Guildwars their is their is roughly 750 skills with around 250 elites. Getting new elites trying new builds out is always fun. im sure their is farming in WoW but i can only guess that you can not run people from one town/city to another. seeing how thier is no portals.
I have seen friends play WoW and i have noticed the graphics are low-poly (weaksauce graphics)
And that Guild Wars has high-poly relatively nice graphics.
Unlike Gw WoW has many diferent types of charectors to choose from. But you can only be one profesion so your self healing is very limited unlike in Gw wer u can have 2 profesions like the Warrior/Monk so that you can tank well against a number of opponents and even Warrior/Ranger for their healing skills which have a low energy cost and the warriors healing which cost 0 energy.
Is it like you have to be with a paladin or whatever if u plan on staying alive? well thats all i have. i think Gw is realy worth it.
Storyline is amazing havent heard anything about WoWs though

ok man. here it is. You should definitely switch to guild wars. No question. I think there is only ONE thing that WoW has on GW and that is the survival skills(such as mining,crafting, skinning, fishing, leatherworking, etc.) But GW has way better graphics and uses WAY more skilll than any other game i have played. The gamplay is awesome, and the customizable interface is the way to go. The PvP is also the best in gaming.
One more thing. After you beat GW, you can replay every mission and quest on hard mode. GW is just so expansive and beautiful you just gotta switch.
For any of you Guild Wars players, Look me up. I have a few characters on GW, but my main account is Sir Artinox He is a level 20 warrior/elementalist. My guild is the Dark Dragunz. Hope to see you in game.

I'm just geting back into GW I have all 3 gonna get EN later on, Starting completly fresh with the first one gonna got through the whole story then switch to faction, then Nightfall lol then ill get EN.

I play'd WoW till 70 and after that theres nothing realy... the PvP sucks and it gets boring to keep doing the same instances over and over...

Now I haven't play'd GW all that much so i'm not sure but I hear its PvP is great.
