Runescape is nothing compared to us. But Id agree (WoW vs GW) we both are the top of what we try to do.

because nine maybe-random peoples opinions makes something fact o.O

anyways, they're really two different games. both have their pros and cons. save the arguments on it for guildwars2 since it will be more WoW-style

Is it wrong of me to have wanted WoW to win despite having never played it?
Must be all the good things that GW has turned into!

And yet, do you actually get a year of playtime out of 6 games?

Uhh...what? WoW is "too easy to level?" In a competition between WoW and GUILD WARS?!

Ironic, as all the WoW bashers never finished WoW.

Comment: In my opinion, this is probably the best MMORPG ever. It is much cheaper than WoW, even if you buy the chapters/expansions every 6 months. The missions are really fun and the graphics are wicked. If you ever get rejected from a group just use henchmen/heroes for PvE. PvP is also really fun and you can PvP straight ahead if you want to. The lvl cap (20) is there for a reason. ArenaNet knows what they are doing. This game requires more skill than time spent.

You can go with a PvE character or just focus on PvP. PvP is my favorite part of this game because it is always different.
Also quoted for irony and naivete.

There's a lot more I could say, but that article is so tainted with bias it's sickening (why does GW has 5 comments posted about it and WoW only 4?). None of the commentors appear to have played both games, which is inappropriate when comparing both games. If a website does such a comparison, they would need players who have played both WoW and GW to its limits (such as myself).

It's also an old article, as the level cap in WoW has been 70 for a long time. It seems like a late-2006 article, and Guild Wars has definately lost points since then.

For PvE WoW wins no contest.... based on items, content, replayability, and overall things to do, um just about everything that makes PvE, WoW wins... GW did have the best PvP but...

This thread really fails, Anyone who try to compare two rather different games should find something else do.

However, IMO even if WoW is considered "Better", the fact it has a monthly fee makes it not worth playing. CSS might be worth palying if it had a fee, but that's all, no other game with a fee is really worth it.

1) Do = Does ( referring to the title )
2) This is OLDDDDDD it talks about BC going to be released.

@ Zinger : notice how all the GW posts are positive and WoW have bad and good ( like it should be )

Like Miral said i think we should wait for gw2 to really talk about GW vs WoW, sadly i think we will be voting for WoW :'(

In an attempt to outplay the OP's game, I've decided to reciprocate and post the same thread on the official World of Warcraft forums to see the response. It's quite different than this thread, at the least...

Yes he did. See Zinger commented on how hugely biased the guy was?

I tried wow and got pretty far when it started, What killed it for me was the total lack of creativity in builds ( Basically 4 cookie cutters for each class, and if you werent one of those, you were a noob. Hands down. No argument ) And the crappy PvP.

@Zinger. I like it how the WoW players actually attacked you, when you are trying to stand up for WoW. Brilliant player base!

Anyway, I noticed how they mentioned the population on being the better game. And I quote Srsly "Let me get this straight: 3x as many people PAY to play warcraft, but somehow the other one is better?" But how many players do you PLAY with, or have a chance to play with. My grip with WoW is that the player base of the US is broken up to around 100+ servers.

example.
I meet person X and find out that he\she plays WoW. I ask, what server he\she plays on. Person X says he\she players on Arthas, while I play on Blackrock. Oh, we cant play together. Conversation DEAD.

i think the point was more of desirability than population.

I read the link zinger put up and found it quite interesting that about half the people that responded acknowledged that GW is a good game, but has a different focus than Wow. They specifically cited GW's endgame PvP as a highpoint, but they couldn't handle the 'lack of character development and endgame content'. (paraphrased for those that didn't read it)

In the end it comes down to player preference, so polls from different sites will always show different results. As GW and WoW are technically in different mmo categories, its nothing to really worry about (besides Wow had a headstart). I would like to see the day when GW/GW2 surpasses Wow in pop., but it all depends on how 2 turns out. Can't wait to see what surprises are in store.
I'm trying very hard not to make my comment a comparison of GW and Wow, and we really don't need to have another GW vsWow thread...here's to staying on topic (crosses fingers).

But that's just my two cents

that thread is interesting because I think it really mirrors the truth of the situation. People on the WoW thread agree that GW is a fun game, at the start; but once you get past the majority of its content and beat the game, etc. the only thing thats still interesting is the PvP. Unfortunately, with the preponderance of metagame builds, pvp is now also becoming boring and there's really nothing much to do anymore but grind for titles in the game.

You realize this one of the worst articles ever written, right? They put up random points without any connection...

...and even use wrong "facts": GW has nowhere near 3 million players. Not even 1 million.
