I thought gw2 would be bad for many reasons... But boring was not one of them. GW2, I am disappoint.
Ganking leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to pvp. The Swtor forum attracts trolls because the forums are more fun than raiding dragon soul. Complaining is the new meta game.

Well..the crafting would not have to do much to be better than what it is in TOR. If it actually has a good crafting system and I can avoid the pvp parts...I might give it a shot when they offer a free to play for so many days. No way I am pre-ordering it or buying until I do get to play it for free however.
Trust is something which is earned.

Don't knock PvD. Doors can be pretty tough.

Imagine if a game takes all the best pvp elements from Warhammer, Age of Conan and WoW and then combines them - then you get GW 2. The pvp is fantastic, I did some sieges this weekend and the world vs world events fondly remind me of my days in Shadowbane - but unlike Shadowbane the game works and does not lag. Defenders can build up their castles and attackers can place siege engines and fire them. Also in terms of graphics it pretty much blows Swtor away. Compared to the epic castles in GW2, like the human's capital, the Swtor cities seem small, stale and liveless. Also the client does not crap itself when there are dozens of players on screen - and this is a beta version, the live version will be even smoother and faster. And on top of that you have way more customization for your character in GW2. In Swtor you are bound to a single weapon and maybe 2-3 different specs. In GW2 you can have different weapons for a class and each weapon is not only cosmetic but has it's own unique skillset. Add traits, gear and stat points and you have way more variety. LoL, the PvP in GW2 is just too casual, and people is calling the WvW �Gate wars 2� already. The graphics looks really bad compared with swtor, even worse with the animations. The intanced PvP, just bored, is all about a dps fest, and most of the time u are just running aroung trying to find someone to kill, People dont even need to talk in the chat, bc you dont need a lot of tactics of coordination to play the intanced PvP, and again looks really casual and easy to play. You have 5 skills and 1 of them is an autoAtk, and so far everyone is ranger, is just pointless to be a melee. And there is NO COMPETITIVE PVP on gw2, so a game for the hardcore pvpers?, i dont know, even the WvW is just too casual

Funny thing is, the VO performances in GW2 are now being universally panned as bad, but guess what...the GW2 fans love it anyway. The same goes for a number of other features as I pointed out.

In GW2 you do what you want. In SWTOR you do what BW wants. In GW2 you explore and have fun. In Swtor you have to go to planet A and do quests a,b amd c before you can move on to planet B. In Gw2 you can play WvW and have the best gaming experience of your life. In Swtor you COULD play ilum and have the worst. SWTOR = linear and awful. GW2 = Open and exciting.

Not one time I have ever seen Guild Wars fans talk bad about that stuff then change their mind when they found out that it was in Guild Wars 2. Heck, everything you said has been in Guild Wars 1 since the beginning of Guild Wars 1 or for many years now. You are just making things up.

I was greatly disappointed by GW2 as well, even though I had made a pre-purchase for Digital Deluxe quite some time ago. Anyway I shall not bother going into the details again, I've done that plenty of times. What I'd like to inform everyone is that the pre-purchase, even with NCsoft, can be cancelled. I sent a request to cancel to NCsoft's customer support on Friday, and just now I received a reply asking me to verify the purchase by providing the last 4 digits of credit card, country issued, etc. It takes awhile, but definitely doable. I'd rather take my 80 USD elsewhere than putting it in their hands via blind faith.
