WoW... requires 400x the amount of hours it takes for GW to get geared up... The grind from level 1 to 70 alone takes about 10 days of /played time for even fast levelers whom know what they are doing, and then repeated 4-7 hour runs in raids letting potentially 24 other people get their loot before you get yours. If you have even the remote expectation of being known in WoW you need to invest alot of time in the game (thus the reason why I like it, no noname misfits whom are known because they can simply scream noob in the chat). However, this is another thing blizzard did, in that if you are a casual player, you can still play, but you won't be known as a raider, and there are still plenty of things you can do instead of raiding at max level (world pvp, bgs, quests, etc.)
I concur. WoW is a good game, people don't seem to understand this fact but I simply enjoy Guild Wars more then WoW so I don't see the point to play WoW. And about the GW expansion, I hear the two new races are going to be major kickass.
i just bought this game last week and played it yesterday and it got the same graphic as WOw and it rocks
