I'll have to agree with some of the comments that have been made.
To me, Guild Wars is Diablo/Diablo 2, but without what made Diablo fun. And in truth, and Sirian nailed it on the RBD forums, GW is not a MMORPG, it is escentially Diablo/Diablo 2 with the channels being Graphical instead of the way they are on Bnet.
Overall, the game seems tedious to me and the AI on the henchman is lacking (especially the Monk, boy does she suck...don't know how many times she let me die to heal the other Henchman and then when dead, would heal everyone up first before she even bothered with Ressing me).
While I like the death penalty, the deteriment is too much. Death should not lead you to dying multiple time because you cannot get rid of the penalty easily (it takes forever to get rid of the penalty, I died near the start of the bloodstone mission and finally got out of death penalty when we got to the bloodstone).
Crafting is also horrible. You require large quanties of items that rarely drop or are rarely salvaged (cloth and hides especially, these are "common" quality items, yet drop rather infrequently...my Ranger/Monk was 18 before she was able to get half of her armor upgraded, the chest, gloves, and mask). Then to add insult to injury on the rarely dropped/salvaged items, buying them from the NPC suplier is insane (960 gold for 10 hides... :blink: ).
Overall, I'm going to stick with WoW as Guild Wars is not fun in my mind.
