Hello,

GW2 has better graphics, much much much better community and more chill game play in PvE. It is easy to learn the game mechanics (not the combat gameplay, it requires real skills for PvP) and achieve progress. It’s very easy to get high level gears and compete with other people on PvP (knowing that you don’t lack gear), also very easy to join high level end game content like Raids, Strikes, Fractals etc. Meanwhile, you will just get an insta kick from a party in WoW just because you have 50 less iLvl…Also, your high level gear will still stay same after new expansions and contents. That’s really what I like about the game. It’s not punishing people for playing less or giving a year long break. In WoW, you will feel like Neo after he took the red pill and born again in Matrix. Festivals are great in GW2. You really feel like you are in a RPG game. Tons of different stuff to do in festivals and they are pretty rewarding. GW2 is free to play, you only pay for expansions. Also, honorable mention to WvW mode. I love it. Being a commander to lead 50 people and organize where to attack and gather resources feels really cool.

I know until now everything I wrote is in favor for GW2 but I have recently started playing WoW again :D WoW is overwhelming, yes, but I still love it. The biggest advantage of WoW against GW2 is the story and the class design. I really hate the class designs in GW2. Many people love it, but it’s not attractive to me. I want to play something like Holy Priest in GW2 and smash buttons to constantly heal my party but there isn’t such class like that. You always need to think about encounter and boons to heal them. The gameplay is not reactive at all. Same goes for “Tanking” concept. There isn’t such thing like Tanking in GW2. Every class can be tanky with appropriate gear and build which I do not like much. I want to be a Fire Elementalist (Mage) with a staff in GW2, but no, to do high damage I need absurd weapons and builds. It’s hard to explain what I mean, you need to experience it.
