I prefer ESO to GW2 mainly due to fact it has dedicated healers & tanks. I couldn't be doing with the GW2 approach.
Yeah, maybe that was part of the problem for me. I dunno, it just felt bland, the only redeeming feature to me was the jumping puzzles, and I don't usually care for that kind of thing.
But at the end of the day, it is hard to give comment on if something is worth it. To me, I wouldn't play GW2 if it was F2P (well, obviously, I own the game and do not play). Yet I was willing to pay a sub for ESO despite its flaws, meanwhile plenty of others probably wouldn't play ESO even if it was F2P.
Opinions eh? What a pain they are!
