That’s not right.. …
That’s not right.. How many is playing wow? If it was so boring it would be dead.. And when I see on guildwars2 I keep think on warhammer online.. Tottaly the same, all said! NOW World of Warcraft GONNA DIE!!!!! WARHAMMER ONLINE AAAH! But now the game is mostly dead. I guess that guildwars2 will end in the same end..
im a wow player …
im a wow player since vanilla but i quitted last year cuz of guild wars 2 trailers! true story
I actually can’t …
I actually can’t believe that GW2 is considered a WoW copy when it is the first MMO in this generation to majorly disperse itself from WoW’s cookie cutter setup.
Learn your facts.

@princeofpain999 ITS D&D!!!!!!!!!~ WARRIORS THAT TERRIFIES! VERGINS TILL THE DAY WEeeeeeEEeeEE~ DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!~
@Bastarden I think …
@Bastarden I think what he is saying is that there used to be a time when Blizzard focused more on quality than profit. All you have to do is look at their business model of recent games.
@sachxtrem I was …
@sachxtrem I was with most of your argument until you make a statement that wrath was “stupid material” I have a feeling you never played wc3. But I agree with most of your statements. I just can’t believe you thought wrath lore to be stupid.
@princeofpain999 …
@princeofpain999 WoW was derived mostly from EQ, It’s sort of the leap that just happened from WoW to SWTOR. Similar games, but improved over the previous. Nothing groundbreaking to it though.

@whysth3rumgon3 …
@whysth3rumgon3 There’s no way this game will have lower computer requirements than WoW, that’s just not possible. Although GW2 graphics aren’t insanely advanced like some single player games, the textures and meshes would have to be lowered by a lot for a system that old to be able to run it. I’m guessing you’re going to at least need an 8600GT video card, a dual core processor @ 2.0 GHZ, and around 2 gigs of RAM to run this game with any sort of playable FPS. Which is pretty low-end anyway.
GW2 won’t have high …
GW2 won’t have high system requirements. They’re working on making it so that it can run on systems almost as old as WoW is. The requirements for WoW will be higher than for GW2. As for the skills, GW2 will have just as many if not more. They’re just making things more organized so you won’t need a whole bunch of action bars taking up screen space.
weapon swaps in gw2 …
weapon swaps in gw2 allow to you to have more then 5 skills..

@getbonkd hey mate, i dont know if ppl already told u or if u know urself but at the WvWvW part u showed continents fighting each other. But the 3 servers are all on the same.
@Bastarden I am in …
@Bastarden I am in no way a fanboy. I played WoW for a good 4 years before i quit. I said most of my points were opinions but gear grinding and unbalanced pvp is a fact I enjoyed WoW for whats its worth, but i need something new. Its in no way a bad game, just not for me anymore. BTW the whole “stop comparing, play what you want” for thumbs comments are stupid. People are gonna compare regardless of your words, just like people will play WoW regardless what i say.
@Bastarden There’s …
@Bastarden There’s no need to troll or get so defensive about WoW. Bonk Studios simply made this video to compare basic differences between the Flagship MMO of WoW, with which most MMO players are familiar, with the upcoming GW2. Differences exist, and highlighting these differences is helpful for both dedicated players of WoW and non-WoW players.
@sachxtrem And PS, …
@sachxtrem And PS, you’re a fanboy as well. Play and let play, that’s something FANBOYS can’t do without feeling the need to bash the game they PERSONALLY do not enjoy. Sounds familiar?
Stop being such brats and just be happy with whatever you enjoy the most and don’t try to up said games by bashing OTHER far more successful (so far) games. GW2 will do just fine without fanboys swinging their swords in front of it.
