i mostly play with 1440X900 but i wouldn't mind playing it in window mode either as i said i don;t really care about the graphic so much as i want to enjoy the gameplay itself

At that resolution both games will run decently with medium settings i believe. I asked because i have some, albeit small, issues with TSW at very high resolutions which could have been very detrimental with your specs. But like i said, at that resolution it won't be an issue.

At this point i believe it has come down to taste. Go with the setting you prefer, fantasy vs urban, teen rated vs mature. Personally i think TSW is underrated, while GW2 is (still)overrated. Also the weapon switching in GW2 annoyed me to no end.

now i'm confuse ....they remove the trial right?

 

At the moment you need someone to send you a trial invite and it's only good for 24hrs. They are reworking the trial.

You can get TSW for 22€ on Steam. Don't even think twice about it, it's a much better game than GW2 which will cost you at least double the cash.

 

About system specs, it'll struggle to run both games, but it should run them at low settings.

My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.

I've got 3 keys, but I'm not sure how their invite system works. They ask for an email address, so if you PM me yours I can send you a key. I think sending it to myself may bind that trial account to my email address.

Yeah TSW is probably your best bet in terms of your framerate with regards to your computer.

Friend of mine actually uses a laptop with far lower performing hardware than what you listed.  My best advice which worked wonders for him is to switch the game to DX9 mode.
