Well you should try GW then.
In 6-8 weeks you complete the whole game if you want to. Most WoW fans wont even try other MMOs for anywhere near as long as I played WoW, they will play them for a few hours to a day or two at the most before raging about the game being crap and going back to WoW.
How long exactly do Blizzard expect me to play WoW to get to anything fun or decent if 6-8 weeks isnt enough? I hate grinding, especially when combined with fees to create a cash cow. Why should I keep on paying a fee for a game that didnt interest me within the first two months of playing it?
What exactly is stopping you from getting and giving Guild wars a try?
How in the hell do I do that?
I never had to do a single kill or collect quest in GW, and really dont remember any quest in DDO being based around killing or collecting. You havnt even played GW at all, and I doubt you've tried DDO either so how would you know?
At just level 5 in DDO, you get to do my favorite quest chain in the game - 'Delera's Tomb'. This can be played in less than a few hours of making a new character and it is absolutely fantastic and unbelievable over what I have played in any other MMO. In WoW I was playing for about 2 months, and absolutely nothing interesting was happening other than running around a map, talking to NPCs, being told to collect bear paws and hides, with absolutely no kind of story or plot of any kind, just completely random, unfun and boring grind.
In GW2, players will be able to do awesome fun stuff right from level 1. No need to grind through 80 levels of boring unfun repetitive grind, you will be able to get stuck right into content that feels fantastic and enjoyable to play.
Also in DDO I managed to reach level 20 in just 2-3 weeks, and was stuck right into playing raids, high level quests, and epic content without having to waste months on end of grinding while wasting money on fees. So vastly better than WoW ever could be.
I love how you say "NOBODY DOES SIDE QUESTS!" As if that justifies the fact that you lied about there being no kill and collect quests.
EVERY MMO has them. Regardless of how it's presented. LateXdog himself posted a few kill and collect quests. And your classifying your opinion above everyone's else. Along with trying to represent all of the GW population.
And you say that they can do awesome stuff from level 1? So there is no progression of any kind? Nice, your saying that your OP basically, all the time.
That is not a good thing. At all. In WoW, you start off weak, as it shows you the basic abilities and ways of playing your class and race. It doesn't give you a set off about ten abilities and throw you straight into the game saying "oh this does this" which by your post, it seems GW does.
And if you played WoW for 2 months without finding any of the amazing questlines at low level, you haven't played in Cataclysm.
"Rise of the Defias Brotherhood" questline is amazing, complex and keeps you interested to the end, making use of the phasing technology that helps advance the story. You have in Northrend, the questline where you pose as a ghoul in order to infiltrate the Scourge, doing many comedic fun quests with a stunning finale. The time quests where you play as Arthas during his ascension to becoming the lich king. The Wrath Gate questline. Arthas' heart questline. The Harrison Jones questlines, pretty much all of Twilight Highlands quests. The Gilneas and Isle of Kezan questlines. The Forsaken starting questline with the young forsaken girl. The Teron Gorefiend questline in Outlands.
I could go on but it would end up as a wall of text. You state there are no good questlines? Actually do the quests in catalysm, Outlands, WOTLK and the revamped vanilla gameplay. Because if you say that it's all grind in WoW you clearly have not played enough WoW.
I don't play Guild Wars because it doesn't interest me in any way or form. The Old Republic does. WoW does. LOTRO does. Everquest 2 did. I tried these games (Not LOTRO, it never finished downloading patches) And I'm going to play TOR. I don't have to play games that don't interest me, nor does anyone.
Most people can reach 85 in WoW in a few weeks too, that's if they play quite a lot. Others take more time so they can enjoy the quests and dungeons. They can then get stuck into the BG battles, the open world PVP battles: Tol'Barad and Wintergrasp. The tons of dungeons and heroics. The raids. The heroic raids. The seasonal events. There is no point going on about end game because I can simply bring up vanilla end game, which was arguably the best end game in any MMO.
3 C'thun) You can bring up your end game and argue that is the best.
And saying "most WoW fans" is stupid. So you asked the entire 11.2 million people playing WoW these questions, and asked if you represented them? Your just pulling numbers out of your arse and stating them as fact which is actually your opinion.
