Guild Wars 2 is great!
I'm biased because I've been playing it since launch, but I've also dabbled in the others and simply couldn't justify a sub fee when
a) there are so many other games I'd like to play simultaneously and not feel guilty doing so b) there's no gear treadmill! It really sucks in games like WoW where I want to check out the older content to get up to speed and just the zones were dead. Conversely, I'm doing map completion with my wife in GW2 and even the core maps had a bunch of people running around doing dynamic events and world bosses. The game feels so much more alive!
All the activity in every zone I visit really does just feel so great. There's no better sign a game is alive and healthy. It was totally that which hooked me.
So true! It's a game that really respects your time and there are always people around to help you if you get stuck.
Welcome to GW2, I genuinely hope you continue to enjoy your time here!
GW2 is my mmo home world. I started with wow but things changed when I realized Blizzard was always playing catch up with arenanet. There were a few months where blizzard made dragon riding easily accessible but once you hit max level the world content wasn't as good and the retail community became more toxic and elitist than ever, so I switched back.
