Wow’s pvp, arena, battleground updates, class balance, constant updates, communication, etc., is light years ahead of GW2..and this is coming from someone who has thousands of hours of experience in both games.

First rank 14 in Vanilla Wow, s1-4 Gladiator, thousands of hours of open world pvp experience vs. 4k+ hours on thief in GW2 (pvp and 1vX roaming on t1 on Blackgate).

In my opinion, (and this is solely my opinion), there is no comparison.

While I agree fully with this, i will say though i enjoy Gw2 more, but i think its largely due to the faster game play and more moba like aspects.

One of GW2’s core competencies is it’s action-oriented combat system which helped differentiate it with other games such as Wow.

Is one better than the other? No, it’s all personal preference. Both are very enjoyable in my opinion. Unfortunately for GW2, this core competency is constantly wasted because of incredibly poor balance decisions and updates which have driven competitive players away from the game, including myself. I won’t even bother getting into the details, because it’s just not worth the effort.

I log in very rarely, just to pop in and do some solo roaming, etc. It’s not what it used to be…and it is constantly getting worse and worse. My buddy/followers list used to be fairly lively…now it has maybe 1 or 2 people showing as online every time I log in….so, I’m assuming other players are feeling the same way. In fact, I know they are feeling similar, via the multiple conversations I’ve had regarding balance with other players in-game.
