Originally posted by cesmode8 I been playing MoP because I don't see much point doing the same thing in a new game that is like the one I have been playing off and on for 8 years. Might as well invest my time in the one that is better and not as boring. I found GW2 very blah and repetative. This is my personal opinon, I just have many more things to do in the world of Azeroth than I do in GW2. |

Seems more like a debate between bad vs evil over which is worse. The answer is clearly yes.

Originally posted by Ausare This is the kind of wow-fanboism that people love! First, GW2 sold 2 million copies in the first week or two, forcing them to shut down sales of the game. Their servers could not handle in influx of players. Ironically, WoW was the last MMO that had to do this at launch. I think that says something. And no, I dont think Arenanet purposefully engineered such an infrastructure or purposefully shut down sales to make their game seem like its booming, especially since game sales is the #1 source of income for them right now, with there being no subscription. Second, GW1 had 5million(or 7 mill, cant remember) players, a large amount of it in Europe and overseas. Id say thats a fair competitor for the almighty WoW. Even if the game garners 3 million sales total, that is immensely successful. And look for WoW subs to drop after Q1 2013 when the annual pass, and MoP hype dies down. They'll come back to the sub-less GW2 :) |

Originally posted by cinos The fact that people that seem to hate WoW feel the need to post in every WoW related thread is rather interesting. I have little interest in DF you will hardly ever see me post in a thread over there or give my opinion of the game. To actually take the time to post about a game they hate is rather telling. The old adage "He doth protest too much" seems fitting. |

Originally posted by Betaguy Just curious, and not trying to upset you or anything.. What is "many more things to do in azeroth than Gw2"..what is available in MoP that is not available in GW2? |

Originally posted by cesmode8 Well if we use your logic for "players" of GW2 then WoW has 8.6 million players in the west because that is how many units they sold of original and battlechest. Holy crap there are a lot of us. Frankly never saw 5 million people playing GW1 at one time. I must have missed that. |

Originally posted by cesmode8 Mists of Pandaria is the best expansion so far and WOW is the best game on the market. If you want to play Counter Strike style mmorpg please go to GW2 and stay there. |

Seriously, what is up with the WoW threads in the GW2 section saying "Quitting GW2...going back to WoW" and the GW2 threads in the WoW section saying "Quitting WoW...going back to GW2"
These forums have the be some of the most toxic ever.
BTW, it's ok to like multiple games in the same damn genre...christ. We’ll stop to sleep when the game is the best possible game we think it can be. We’ve seen the population of the game steadily rising lately and we’re not going to sit on our butts and congratulate one another, we’re going to try and build on that momentum and make the game even better. -Colin johanson on GW2 |

Oh darn. One person out of the 10 million left. I'm sure your departure will greatly affect WoW...sorry couldn't resist. I see posts like these every day, countless times a day. And I laugh because in the grand scheme of things it honestly doesn't matter. If you leave WoW for GW2; great. You save yourself $15 a month. But at the same time just realize there are a heck of a lot of others out there who enjoy it (I play WoW and GW2). So much WoW hate going around. If you think the developers lack ideas for an expansion, what else should it have? They develope for the game and what would fit in the game world. So if they don't add new continents, races, classes, etc. there isn't isn't much left. And if you're making suggestions for things that other games have that you enjoy, just go play that game. Rift is good, I'll give it that, but it doesn't quite have the magic and the joy I felt when I played WoW.

Posts in game forum that the game sucks, then becomes annoyed at fans of that game for defending it. Idiot logic. MoP is a good expansion, much better than cataclysm, GW2 is a good game. I play both, sometimes I also play neither, I never feel the need to announce my departure from either game on a public forum. ![]() |

Originally posted by Vorch It's been this way as long as I can remember. And it has never made sense. Even moreso in this case. Quitting a game generally means you stopped subbing to it. GW2 doesn't have a sub, so saying you quit is pretty pointless, anyway. If the game provides any enjoyment at all, there's no need to dump it. Getting really tired of the sports team mentality that people seem to feel the need to have about everything, these days. I've stopped playing GW2 for the moment, as I'm gearing up my toons for my mainstay MMO, LotRO, RoR. But I'll definitely be back. I've cancelled my Eve sub, but I'll be back. If Blizz gives me a free MoP trial, I probably will check it out. F2P Secret World? Bring it on! Free from the "I like X game, so Y game is da suxxorz" self inflicted trap, my game queue is massive and I'm having a blast. |

I'm playing both. I still don't understand why folks don't play at least two games to keep from becoming stagnant in one. Sunday GW2 Monday WoW Tuesday Vanguard (WoW Maint. Day) Wednesday GW2 Thursday WoW Friday Vanguard Saturday Drink beer and bbq. Wash some underwear. Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not. |

Originally posted by Robsolf I could not agree with you more. It's like people need the game they're playing to be the "best"... And it's sad. Like I said, I'm playing wow and gw2 TOGETHER and I'm having fun. I like each one for a different reason, although neither are perfect by any stretch. When the next big game comes out, I'll play that too. Hopefully the mentality on this site will die off and the new neutral gamer attitude will take over. .. Hey, I can dream can't I? |

"Life is boring... Unsubbed and snuggled up in a coffin!" Just enjoy what you are playing, don't have to make a thread just to say you are going. Way too many of those around for every game lately. Nonetheless... I do hope you will enjoy GW2 or whatever game you'll bump into soon. |

Originally posted by Vorch Because there are those in this community that think there is only room for one well populated mmo. For so long, it has obviously been WoW. Now there is an actual contender - so those who want to see the giant fall are excited and those who want the juggernaut to stay in place feel they have to prove something. For in their minds, we cannot have a plethora of well-populated games. One game to rule them all. Blame Tolkein. |
