Hard to say which I like more or less. Only played Rift's free trial till lvl 20 and only had one BWE in GW2. So I can't relly comment on how they get later on.

What I really disliked about the Rifts was that many times a lvl 50 player just one hitted every mob. Made me feel useless. Why do lvl 50 do this ? Must be boring. Anyway, they probably do it for farming reason, don't know. I hope this will not be the case in GW2 due to the downleveling there. We will see.

@op: no, it is not wrong to like one more than the other. ;)

Only played Rift til level 20, but Silverwood was really fun, when a zone event happened. I guess it only felt like this in populated zones.

There was a little problem though where GW2 may suffer even more than Rift:
Because of the Instant Groups (which I liked) the socializing wasn´t that important, but people already learned behaving in groups there.

If GW2 still doesn´t have a zone chat (remember Warhammer), then not only you have the problem mentioned above, you´ll also have the problem of Warhammer. It worked in DAoC, I know. But internet was still young there.

The result would be: you log in because of instant fun, but you don´t log in because of some freshly generated bonds, guilds whatever.
Instant fun is a volatile beast...

The unequivocal answer to your question is "yes."

To each their own. In Rift I found myself avoiding DE's while I ran quests.

After experiencing both, I have to say...I prefer Rift's events to GW2's. I like the scale, the objectives, the sudden pvp, the multiple boss fights, the sounds, the style in which they appear the rewards and most of all, the communities and social hubs they foster.

I know, I know, its blasphemy. But its just my preference. Go RIFT!!

Agreed on the PVP that happened during the Rift events.  Taking away any threat of PVP while doing PVE makes the PVE much more boring.

Not wrong, it's all down to personal preference in my book :)

I did the same thing in GW2. I avoided Events to do the quest and PvP. PvP was very slow compared to the PvE, but I prefer the PvP to the Events. Quest where alot more fun than events IMO. done well, and better than Rift's quest.

Nope, but you already know that.  So why ask unless your intent is to bait GW2 fanbois?

Right?  Wrong? I'm sure you know that these terms don't really apply too well to subjective preferences like this...

Anyhow, on topic, I quite liked Rift's dynamic events when Rift released, but GW2's impressed me a lot more.  After 6-8 weeks play in Rift, the zone events felt quite repetitive....I'll have to see how things work out in GW2.

One of the big pluses that GW2 has is the level-scaling thing whereby a high-level character will get autolevelled down in a lowbie zone, meaning that the event can be a challenge for them too, though rewards could be an issue for some.

In Rift, it also felt like one was competing against others for one's tier (& rewards) in a DE, but in GW2, getting gold level feels easier, so GW2 may lead to more genuinely cooperative play...so I'm wonderin if GW2's setup might actually lead to more community-building.

I'm looking forward to GW2, having enjoyed the beta (I played GW1 for about 2 years or so).......but I only managed 6-8 weeks in Rift....it just never really grabbed me (though chloromancer was fun).

The answer to your question is "Depends who you ask"
