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
