Such gullibility.
Perhaps you should consider trying to find something from the person(s) who gave the original game its name where such evidence is dated as close to the time in which they came up with the name as possible.
But this is not about the name of Guild Wars (the original game). It is about the name of Guild Wars 2. It is possible that the original was named for something else. I was simply pointing out that ArenaNet has stated that this game’s name is based on its shared lore and not on GvG combat.
I remember reading somewhere that ArenaNet gave as the reason GW2 would not have open world PvP (or GvG) was that they wanted the PvE open world to be based on player cooperation instead of player competition. That is the reason that things like resource nodes are shared and anyone that contributes to killing a mob or completing an event get a reward. Player cooperation instead of conflict.
Different game, different play style. And (IMHO) a far superior and more enjoyable play style that most other MMOs that arbitrarily divide the server’s PvE population to create artificial “conflict” all in the name of PvP.

Having a GvG isn’t in conflict with the PvE cooperative spirit at all, GvG would surely be instanced. I don’t see any legitimate reason why it couldn’t be in the game really.
