Is Guild Wars 2 worth buying?

Updated the discuss i rushed,guess i was worried.

Well yea i like MMORPGs alot actually i played WoW alot.

But i got bored......

I would like you try it out,watched trailers and stuff.

Some people even tell me the GW2 got sold out?

Still waiting :D

You waste your life on any game, and since you're here you're probably a gamer, and much of your life has already been wasted

I really never played GW 1 before im kinda new at it.
YEA GW2 has Awesome graphs.

But still the gameplay and etc etc you know.

Ya, they only have Deluxe Edition available only, which ends up with $64.

Makes a lot of sense spamming and the stuff,just drove insane in WoW.

My experiences from GW2 would still classify it as skill spam. Perhaps even more so as there is in general no limited resource that those skills would use, only cooldowns.

Lmao...
Everything you said is wrong. In GW2 you'll be spamming skills as they come up, all freaking 14 of them (including specials) just trying to get a tag in pvp. The "skill" in this game is nowhere to be found. Specs/Classes are broken (Warriors with almost 60% crit, lolol) The game just looks impressive and does a good job of making you feel important.

If you think WoW is point and click, you are horrible at the game and you definately dont partake in competitive pvp or raiding. Im not defensive because it's WoW. Trust me, I've bought every WoW killer since Aion and I'll tell you, none of them compare. All were good games in their own rite but none provide the overall experience WoW provides.

If you'd say GW needed skill I totally agree with you.
Sadly GW2 hast just become another WoW clone where u spam your skills without brain aswell.

And yet my battle.net account gets cold while I play GW2.

ie. it's a matter of opinion.

I couldn't agree more.

"but it does retain the experience of having a full and active world due to events similar to rifts like in "RIFT""

Figured I should explain that point. WoW's world seems dead due to flying mounts and no world events. Which pretty much has you sticking to major cities unless farming mats for crafting.

In GW2 there is no flying and they have events. Events.... well, they'll die eventually. Basically when you complete a chain quest, usually you activate a quest that pings the map for all nearby players to see. Then they can all run to aide you on the quest (Like escort or world boss) and gain experience on participation. The problem will be that they are activated by quests and when the game matures, people will all be level capped and the world will seem lifeless and empty again.

Let's see WoW out in 2004 and it was pretty sparse at the start - GW2 out officially about a month now... Yeeeaah, that is a fair comparison and if anyone were to say, well they had GW first, then I'd say that WoW should have exponentially improved every time they released a new expansion if you want to go that route - and based on sales figures, loss of paying accounts, etc., I think anyone that knows what they're talking about will agree that that did NOT happen with WoW.

In the end however, it all boils down to one thing - you as the player - do you enjoy it or not. Beyond that, no one but that person can say which is better to them - nothing else and no one else's opinion matters and cannot be the final say in the matter, as it can't be quantified...

Same here...Got to Lvl 80 as a Warrior and then I got bored...There's very little end game content apart from the dungeons and I'm not into PvP or WvW. I'm surprised to see how the game caters so much for the solo player that it completely ignores the solo player at the end. Orr (the level 80 area) is too unbalanced for solo play with enemies respawning fast and tons of mobs everywhere which makes kiting a real challenge.

Still,the main issue for me is the lack of awesome looking gear...I don't mind enemies or grinding dungeons but when an Exotic class sword looks EXACTLY like a normal sword, that's where I draw the damn line. I kinda like visual customization so the lack of unique weapons and armor at high levels is a one of the major reasons I haven't logged back in (or rerolled another character) ever since I hit 80 two weeks ago.

It still frustrates me with this genre that people who can invest more time (not skill but time) into it, are always in way better position. GW2 gets slightly off with this by scaling everyone to maximum level but even with it there are still differences between original levels.
