Why did you originally purchase Guild Wars?

- No monthly fee.
- Judging from the box art and screenshots, it had a nice look and feel to it.
- Ability to play with others as well as with henchmen if necessary.
- The uniqueness of some professions.
- Knowing that there would be expansions later on.
- No Item mall.
- The low required specs/transfer speeds.
- The ease of communicating vital infomation with team mates. (includes calling targets, drawing directions on the map, etc.)
- Less grind than most other MMO's.

At the time I wanted a new game to play because I got tired of the previous games. Didn't want a monthly fee and I wasn't willing to buy a game with 4 hours worth of game play. Co-worker recommended the game to me. My key reasons were...
1)Nice graphics
2)Multi-professions
3)Free to play
4)Co-worker recommended it
Having said all this...Skill > Time NEVER ever crossed my mind until 1-2 years after I purchased the game. As far as casual gaming was concerned, I was seeking a game with long replay value hence I was searching for a RPG type game which basically made it irrelevant whether the game was casual or not. GW was the closest thing at the time. Had I known then what I know now my purchasing decision would remain the same.
Don't know many people who purchased this game based on skill > time specifically. It's hardly ever mentioned as a compelling reason on this forum or any others. Sure you get the odd few individuals here and there but that's to be expected.
Fast forward 4 years and here I am now at work typing this out.

As has been proven the reason "I" purchased GW is the same reason the majority purchased it.....because it has no monthly fee. It's like playing Diablo 2 online really cept the loot sucks and there's no UNIQUE armor items like in D2. Plus the stats used are pretty bland 60 70 80 90alc blahzay and 15^50 max weapons blahzay and +30hp blahzay. If only this were Diablo 2 with this huge world to play in.
