I have played both games and fromt he graphics and interface perspective, I can say that I like TERA better however; been a game that you have to buy and then pay a monthly fee, it can't compete on the same level than GW2, where you just buy once and keep playing.

I think that this monthly fee will push back some players, like me, to continue with other RPGs.  Greed is not a good strategy I'll say.

 

 

P2P isn't greed. This is a business not a charity. I'd much rather pay a monthly fee than to worry about players having an edge over me through a cash shop. And from what I hear with GW2 that is a big problem. THAT is true greed when devs hide P2W in a cash shop form. Also when the expansions and new content are release then you will have to pay again. This is just like GW1 with a bigger cash shop to help ruin a possible good game.

We won't know the full effect the cashop with have on WvW for awhile, it could lead to groups or individuals able to out-buy the other side on siege equipment constantly, or money for them may not be that much of an issue for higher lvls. As somone who has just quit a pay2win game, realizing how pointless it is, if that is GW2's fate, I will just avoid WvW as it won't effect the PVE that is still worth playing from what I hear.

Odd stance to take, since the most successful MMOs of all time have had a P2P structure.  I also find it strange that you equate greed with the P2P structure, when the F2P games have historically been the ones that have milked the most money out of players.  

I'm not saying that GW2 will do that with their cash shop.  I'm just speaking in generalities.

Personally, I was surprised at how much better Tera looks than GW2 now that I was able to play the open beta last weekend.

Now after trying out the Tera combat system, GW2 looks really boring and nothing but button-mashing as well. I might try GW2 once it launches, but I doubt it will keep my interest like Tera.

 

Whatever, good riddence.. I haven't seen a mmo yet where you don't push some kind of stupid button. How else you going to access your skills.. I have watched a Tera video and looks like button mashing to me.

Also, strange how ArenaNet has their first Guild Wars 2 pre-purchase beta event over this weekend as well... ahhh, I see what you did their ArenaNet. Well played sir!

Based on the feedback from many people who have tried GW2 today, ArenaNet probably just increased TERA's launch sales.  Thanks for the boost, ArenaNet!

 

ROFLMAO!!!! Whatever! Don't even kid yourself.. I won't be playing this game.  So no launch sale from me.

Now this is a prime example of ignorant stupidity. Pull head from arse and get the facts before popping off at the mouth. GW1 store never sold anything for players to get ahead or an unfair advantage.. Neither will GW2 gem shop. They aren't selling anything any different you couldn't get for a toon in wow( buff potions.. ring a bell) .. as far as buffs go. They aren't going to sell anything that gives other players unfair advantage over another.. Another thing you don't have to spend a dime of real money for the gems if you don't want to.. You can use in game gold.. So insert thy foot in your mouth and do your fucking research.
