Do you really think the content they've given us since December could EVER retail for 60 dollars in a store? In a free to play game like this you pay only when the developers deliver somehting worth paying for. My 15/month since Dec (another 60 dollars ontop of what I've paid for the game ) hasn't really given me anything to write home about. I haven't even experienced most of it as I'm more fond of PvP in SWTOR than it's PvE (buggy and overly simplistic/easy). well im still experiencing content in this game and I play 4-5 hours a day. and after seeing gw2 in action. It is extremely dissapointing and i have a feeling a lot of original GW players are gonna feel the same. Furthermore the guild wars brand wasnt very popular amongst the gaming community. Guild wars was always under the radar as far as mmos were concerned. The issue now is GW2 has been OVERHYPED just like every mmo that comes out and after getting an extensive example, can not live up to expectations. It will have a decent playerbase though, but nothing spectacular

I was considering getting Guild Wars 2, but then from what I have heard here it sounds as if it needs a bit of polishing up before I'll want to join. I have watched a few beta videos and I have to say the PVP looks great, but some of the animation and combat looked quite weird, but by the time it is released I'm sure most of that will have been fixed. Anyway for now I'll be sticking with SWTOR.

Setting and voice acting can't save a game set in an enclosed, instanced world that plays like crap. Bioware would have to rebuild SWTOR from the engine up to fix it. Look, I play TOR because of the setting and I did not pay Skyrim, because I simply don�t like fantasy, couldn�t stand the LOTR films, hated the WoW trial and did not play any other MMOs besides EvE (Sci-Fi). Many people who bought into TOR bought it because of "Star Wars". So GW2 won�t attract people who don�t like fantasy, simple as that. Different story with "Secret World", because it�s survival horror in a modern day "near future" setting, so that is 100 times more attracting for people than GW2 or any other medieval style MMO.
THE REAL SWTOR CONTENT POLL! What if SWTOR had CGI cutscenes and background loading [youtube video]- What if SWTOR mounts were speeders [youtube video]

Cause there are too many servers. BioWare has already admitted to that. The merges are coming and when they do mostly every server will have the awesome amount of people

But Dynamic Events was really cool, so it has it's ups and downs but GW2 is far from "revolutionary", it will not "kill wow" and it will not have an big impact on SWTORs subscribers. I think SWTOR is the better game. What do you think? and to any of you who have experienced the beta weekend, feel free to tell us about your experience I played the beta too and feel the same. This is a huge letdown comsidering all the hype and what I expected.
