Guild Wars vs. World of Warcraft- What to get?

Alright everyone I own both games. I have been playing both for sometime and BOTH of them are great in there own way.

I play WoW primarily, because its more time consuming and I like to interact with alot of people where ever I go. Yes WoW consumes your life usually, but not always. When I get sick of WoW or just wanna be by myself I play GW. GW is also a great game. You cannot compare the games because everyone is different and im just tired of the big babies that just play wow or gw and say the other one sucks. Yes GW is a lil superior in certain ways such as 2 pros and can rearrange your char attribute points at anytime. but WoW has it great if you want a long game that never ends with endless fun unlike GW where you can beat the game. WoW has a higher lvl cap which i personally think is great lvl 70 NOW! and Guildwars only lvl 20 but the thing is yes guild wars is more fair because no one is superior to another only lvl 20 thats it your done and its so fast to lvl to that lvl my first char was a ele/mes and i got to 20 in 2 weeks. Wow I have 1 60 warlock and a 46 rogue. and it takes alot of time and after you hit 60 or 70 now the game becomes more social cuz there is so much more to do. Guildwars i have 4 20s. and you can get smart npcs as your buddies to help and if you buy nightfall you get certain heroes that lvl with you and you gear yourself which gives this game a plus. Dont listen to the people that say that one is superior to the other cuz it all depends on you and how you feel about a GIANT COMMUNTIY and seeing people everywhere or if u like to do some solo work like its a offline game.


IN CONCLUSION:::

NEITHER IS GREATER THAN THE OTHER IT DEPENDS ON YOU AND HOW YOU FEEL!

O and the farming on GWS is ridiculous a Earth ele/ monk or mes can clear a whole area of things higher lvl then them with out even worrying about dieing and in WoW you cannot take that many things as easy WoW is a lil more realilistic if you think about the grinding process

Let's see what other bull**** rexmundi has to say

Lol

LOL...ive read this whole conversation, if you could call it that*coughflamewarcough*...
this is my first post here and i pretty much made the account for this thread...but i will be more active in future...

rexmundi...you DONT play guild wars....honestly...you cant make a point by saying guild wars hasnt got elements which are really ITS MAIN FEATURES....

1) you DONT need to make a pvp character to play PvP...yes its possible but not compulsary...

2) the world itself isnt linear...its just like the real world...of course there are paths!!!!...you can just run through a bunch of close trees or swim across an ocean DUH!!!

3) travisbalog... you dont play it either!!!...if an ele/mes ran into a bunch of mobs higher lvl than it id get flattened!!!...sure he does high damage but eles are weak as!!!...there are traits to each player!!!

look...there are no "cons" to guild wars...it has restrictions because thats the way it's made...its fun WITH them... its much less time consuming and more down to earth...i cannot speak for WoW but every time a friend of mine gets it i barely ever hear from them...

requiem: HI!!! how have you been??
friend:... cant talk....
requiem: why?....
requiem: u there?...
-end of convo-

his xfire always says he's on WoW...look...from what i know to be true WoW isnt good because of one major flaw...theres too much to do taking too much time...remind you of runescape much?...if you can play WoW and be a light gamer then cutos to you...ill stick to GW thanx and keep my life

Lol, I think he means some sort of really specialized build about the Ele/Mes owning everything. But indeed, this has been a flame war... just please, if you're going to sink to new lows like I have in this thread... at least post in other areas of TS and be useful in other places

you dont know what your talking about yes i do play the game and to prvoe it to you all look up my char her name is Alicella Hayes and for you wow people look up my char on Thorium Brotherhood my 60 lock and on Shadow Council 46 rogue and my char on GW alicella hayes she is 20 and a ele/mes my first char! so dont say i dont play the game cuz your making ur self seem stupid. and I have a life unlike your friend I have a gf im engaged to her and i go to school and yes i do play on my spare time but getting that good took me awhile. so save it dude u dont know and yes stick to GW cuz you have no life cuz your so stuck on playing one game and get stop!

Well, I have both WoW and Guild Wars. I think WoW is far superior, but has a $15 a month fee. Also, the only new content in Guild Wars is the expansions, which are about $40-50 per. Plus, Guild Wars is pretty much PvP only, PvE is boring and not worth it. WoW has fun PvP and PvE. It's all a matter of personal opinion though.

huh?

i dont think you people read the messages other people send...

just because i said that most of the people whp play wow have no life...doesnt mean there arent exeptions...i never said u had no life...

secondly...you mustnt play guild wars much becuase a solo ele cant do much for long...he'd need battery necro, healer or warrior to take the damage

THIRDLY...your an *****!...my whole point was that im a light gamer and guild wars is better because its not time consuming/wasting like WoW... you get quality gameplay from the time you start....

why would i waste all my time playing guild wars when i could do other things... you just proved that games mean everything to you ...well done...
"i play in my spare time" yeah ok

and tenko...pve in guild wars is awesome...have you played prophecies?..

last of all..yes metalx i will be contributing to other threads (as i stated in my last message)

lol dude you dont get it do you. Look what you are saying also, look how in depth you are with explaining that ele thing to me. Obviously you have no life and play guildwars all day, because all day is your spare time because you have no life that means you probably never been on a date and your cousins or your ****ing brother doesnt count, you live with your mom and if its a big IF you do work you spend all your money on like action figures again. Yes i do play the game in my spare time but is being engaged going to school and working seem like no life to you?

Yeah thats what i thought

O yeah and another thing Req you need to play other games and open up more possibilites because the pve in guildwars does suck compared to other games.

Haha

so..lemme get this straight....

because my main character's an ele...that means that i have no life?

just because i know how to play guild wars doesnt mean im an addict...

and IF you knew how to read you would have seen the part where it says "i am a light gamer" I ONLY PLAY A FEW GAMES, THATS THE POINT!

if i was a HEAVY gamer...id play WoW and have no life...you see?


and im only 15...so yes i live with my mom and obviously i dont have a job...i dont know about you but im pretty sure action figures are for balding 40 year olds who play WoW all day and pretend they have girlfreinds...

you play WoW in ur spare time ok... but how much time do you spend playing wow in that spare time....every waking minute im sure...

yeah thats what i thought

Ok guys, I`ve just read every single post in this thread and I have to say, it appears to be deteriorating into a flame war.

I sincerely hope this won`t continue, but rest assured if it does, I`ll start deleting posts and/or close the thread altogether.

Regards Howard

ok...

ok..yeah sorry it turned out to be a flame war lol

(thats what i was saying lol before i came into it)

ok..lets just settle this..

guild wars is for ppl who are light gamers/ low budget...WoW...people with time/money on their hands

Oh, no. I've really done it now. Sorry howard, I know, I'm an *****. I'll just agree with RequieM's last line there and be done with it.

Thanks guys, I appreciate you co-operation.

Regards Howard
