I just want to point out one particular mistake i made in this video, the exile's reach starting island was introduced in shadowlands NOT bfa! Sorry for the misconception. Please don't forget to like and subscribe, thank you!
I have played wow for sooo many years and i still love this game. But after experiencing the horizongal progression of gw2 and the combat system i can never go back to anything else. Not to forget the mounts, the world events, metas, fashiowars, exploration and everything this game has to offer. God i love this game so much. And its true it respects your time you dont have to catch up to anything. Last but not least, i like so much i dont feel obligated to play because im not paying a subscription fee, which was a thing i hated in wow. I would still give wow a chance but nowdays it feels so oberwhelming to me. If yoy have things in life going on and still wanna enjoy some true mmo action, gw2 is the game i 100% recommend

it’s not as if MMORPGs are THE game style for players looking for a time-consuming experience, but I don’t know why in recent years there’s been a race to see who has the least time in life but absolutely wants to play an MMORPG. 😅
GW2 Is way better. Trust me, I was stuck in WoW for 15 years...

After playing wow for 15 years my bigest regret is why i never tried gw2 at past. Im playing gw2 now for 2 mounth and i am sure i never touch wow again. The big factor is time respect by gw2
ive bounced around MMO's for a long time mainly playing games like WoW, warhammer online, and FFXIV. starting GW2 today i hope it keeps me entertained

@@lumc6 In my case took me 3 attempts to get into this game. So I kinda get if you tried and you felt its not this. If I may give you some tips try leveling at least one character to 80 lvl and i recommend trying out Necro. My 1st play through was as Ranger cause for many years Hunter was my main in Wow. I kinda had fun but after that tried after recommendation Necro, this proffesion made playing this game way more enjoyable. Next, went with Reaper specialization and it was so fun. I have spent shit tons of hours in Wow but as I have moved to Gw2, last time I checked had 2.7k hours already and still got stuff to do. I don't regret time I have spent in Wow but Gw2 does so many things way better than Wow and thought of coming back to Wow is just repelling

update please
GW2 is the mmo for people that either have a life or like to play more than one game. I'll always play it for that reason.
Played the two. Stuck with GW2 by a mile. Best community in MMOs, actually respects player's time. Combat and exploration is way better. GW2 is a game that you can go full on tryhard and grind your *ss off or just take your time and play casually. You will never feel forced to play to still relevant. Once you get your gear, you are set. Just try it out. Core game is free!

Ive played and loved WoW. But in this day and age just pick GW2. It respects your time more with, has a better f2p model and no subscription fee. Better combat system and more interesting class and build crafting. Maybe Blizzcon will change things up, thats around the corner. But who knows
I played wow for 12 years and let me tell you gw2 is much better playing for 2 years now and the systems gw2 have in pvp,wvw,pve is 10/10 my only problems is with the game is lack of pvp player base and no new raids only strikes. And the core world not up to date but its still fun to explore.
People still play World of Warcraft? why? I played WoW from 2006-2019. I played FFXIV from 2013-2023. I played GW2 2012-2014 and just went back 4 months ago, glad I did the game is amazing. WoW does NOT have "lore," more like poorly written story and 99% of the players have no clue what it is or even read a quest. GW2 story you play is 100% lore and very in depth with FFXIV have a slightly better edge on the lore story. However GW2 story makes sense, it is in order and no surprise races or "well the hell did that come from" jumps as in WoW.
Definitely GW2.. it’s like a hidden gem of mmo. Meta events happen dynamically, the world explorations, the community, World bosses, WvW and gosh the Mount is GOAT compare to any mmo I played and surprisingly blizzard is copying 😂. What I also like no matter how long you’ve gone from the game your gear and everything is still relevant and best of all not a pay to win or subscription bullshit. Highly recommend this game
I started GW2 a while ago and i know i’m never going back to wow. The horizontal progression and the monetization approch is simply better, and the gameplay is more interesting (combat, pvp, mounts, class system, etc.)
Tried playing the latest expansion in a wow, and it felt so stale and routine. Quest quest quest, boring character mechanics. Gave guild wars 2 a shot and holy crap. The difference is night and day. Incredibly dynamic class design, world gameplay, crafting etc. experience given is a percent of your level. So no matter which zone and quests you do you get the same percentage of XP. So at level 70 you can play in a lower level zone and it doesn't matter. You still progress at a good rate. With world of Warcraft I felt like well. I always have to quest to get better gear so that I can do mythics and then raid the end. Guild wars 2 gives you a huge variety of things to do with fun combat and you don't feel like you're chasing a carrot all the time.
I think as we get busier the time respect from GW2 is one of the most important things an mmo can offer. I go back to New World and I have to revert back to grinding the same things for weeks i was doing last time just to be revelant in the same content i was already doing lol..
Im late to this but i think you should mention that all the maps in gw2 are active there are meta events that happen in old maps/ new maps/ and starter zone maps so players are always active in every map. Its really easy to find a large group of players running to meta events even when you first start out. Example the human starting zone has a world boss in it called the Shadow Behemoth which takes a group of players to take down and it has some simple mechanics you need to follow to beat it.
Lol your intro where you walking in gw2 is the same place I use in my intros 😂 great video
Used to play WoW when it first came out, long before any expansions. Gave it up after a few months both because of the subscription and because they pissed all over their own lore with fundamental aspects of the game. I still miss some of the RP I had there (used to run with PvP on at all times but it was an RP server). Played GW, then GW2 since they came out, and quite honestly the game has ruined me for any other MMO I've tried. Haven't done any RP there though, no time anymore. Still, some of my fondest memories are from there, especially capturing that last POI in WvWvW back when it still mattered for map completion.
Played wow since Early BC late Vanilla, dropped off during BFA. Went to gw2. I miss Azeroth but Ive met so many more friends and regular groups running through tyria.
I played wow since I was 7 years old and it was one of my favourite games. For years my friend suggested I play gw2 and I kept saying no but one day I gave it a shot and I loved it. At the time, wow had started becoming really confusing and complex, I missed so much because of school or stuff and I missed out constantly. It’s been 2 years since I dropped wow forever and I won’t ever go back. Gw2 just has a much more fun levelling process and no matter how long a break I take, I never feel like I missed out. The world feels way better and more immersive. Combat also feels way faster and slicker for me
Played wow, i was obssesed with warcraft universe when i was in highschool 20 years ago. I instaled GW 2 in 2022, being very board of every mmo i played. I was so hyped by the first 40 hours , that when i got the mount trial i imediately bought the first two expansions HoT and PoF. I grinded so much gold for the utilities for my account, that i got very very burned out under 500 h of total gameplay. It quit and got back this year. All my hard work is there, ready to be used, all my achivements are there. The world stayed the same, even though i am 2 expansions behind. My equipement is still worth 100%. I have so much to do, not to mention what is coming, definitely the nr 1 mmo for me, the best one i have ever played. Other mmos may be superior in many other relevant ways, like beter pvp, better graphics, bigger communities, or much more spot light, but Guild Wars 2 is the only game that respects my interaction with it, even if it is a quick 5 min log in for the dailies, or hours upon hours of fun gameplay. And the fact that you can have premium currency with ingame gold it makes it so so so much worth it, especiallly bcs the premium items are centered around utility, not the pay to win classic avennue. You get utility for your account, utility that provides you with better ways of enjoying the time you spend with the game. It is my retirement mmo 🥂
Played WoW for years, after my account got hacked and banned, I left it. I was searching for a new MMO for ages, tried them all: Rift, Arc, Neverwinter etc… None of them really captured my attention until a friend introduced me to GW2. It took me a while to understand it as a new player because the mechanics are so different to other MMOs, but once I got to grips with it, I was hooked. The classes, the world building, the PvE content, the mount system - even the STORY (omg the story…) So good… I love guild wars 2 ❤
class comparison if you wanted to try GW2 from wow. Light Armor: Mesmer= Arcane mage/rogue/shadow priest Elementalist= Fire and Frost Mage/Shaman Necromancer= Warlock/Unholy DK Medium Armor: Engineer= Hunter(traps and tools aspects) /enhancement shaman Thief= Rogue/shadow priest/Monk/MM hunter Ranger= Druid/Hunter Heavy Armor: Revenant= Death knight/Demon Hunter Guardian= Paladin/Priest/Windwalker Monk Warrior= Warrior
GW2!
If you want to play more of the same antiquated MMO concepts stick to WoW or FF. If you're tired of it then try GW2. Your mindset is the biggest hurdle to your own personal enjoyment.
Wow is great at keeping it's playerbase, but sucks at getting new players, gw2 is amazing for new players, but has a difficult time keeping players post endgame, and i say this as a gw2 fanboy
Gw2👍👏🔥❤️
If you value your money play GW2 but it doesn't mean that GW2 is the better game. If WoW is similar to GW2 as buy to play with free sub then I'll definitely play WoW.
I believe you forgot the Endgame World vs World where a server fights against 2 other servers. Massive battles. Have not seen it in any other game yet.
Got into guild wars 2 finally. It's been weird having to break old habits that inhibit my fun. It's the most fun online game right now. It feels almost taboo to work one one thing then ping pong to another goal when I get bored of grinding out the former. Like, I had the goal to unlock my skyscale and I took multiple breaks by focusing on my fractal level or doing story content. At no point did I ever "fall behind" or felt like I was wasting my time by doing something else. I'm never pressured to play since there is no sub fee and for once I actually feel kinda good about buying from the cash shop. I usually abhor them but with how guild wars 2's DNA being so fundamentally different, it's like a completely new experience doing the same motions. Playing guild wars 2 like other MMOs literally ruins all fun and completely misses the point of the game.
Everyone have a different taste some people like bananas some people like strawberries some like both. For me i like GW2 more because i like the environment and the Explorations and mounts makes it 100 times better and I like how the things i achieve are unlocked for my entire account ( for all my characters and the new characters) so i dont have to repeat lot of things. Also the fact that i dont get to play every day and only in my days off make playing a free to play game that is not pay to win so rewarding because everything i do again is saved for my entire account which is totally worth it and not soul consuming in a maw lol HOWEVER i have to admit that world of warcraft has a way better story line even though the writers ruined it at shodowlands chapter still better than gw2 story in my opinion
Played GW2 for quite a while, still do not really like any of the classes. Love the exploration, questing, events and especially the mounts. Just can't find a main class, none of them really stand out as fun. Going to try out WoW again and see if I will stick with it. Otherwise, maybe I'm just not into MMORPG's anymore.
My issue with WoW is as I level up less content becomes viable and my options for where and what to play shrink. In GW2 as I level up my options expand until I hit max level where the whole game is open to me and viable.
On top of that GW2 is not even comparable with WOW, the fact that gw2 doesn't need subscriptions and wow needed, I believe WOW can be compared to FFX1X DUE to it's monthly ttrash subscription just to play lol and definitely not GW2
Damn. I got thousands of hours in both and this was genuinly a very good summary for anyone wanting to try either.
gw2 all the wayy believe me gw2 is the best mmo for 2024 if u ask me before 2015 i will tell u wow
that mesmer fashion
Problem is most good looking Stuff in Gw2 is locked behing Gemstore or Trading Post. Its not like In WoW where you can run old Raids to get nice looking gear. You have to buy skins by converting Gold to Gems in a rotational Gemstore. Also you need to buy Character Slots and shit.

In my experience I can tell you that if you simply keep playing regularly, the gold ends up reaching your pocket by itself.
i spent hundreds of $$ on GW 2 character boosts cuz of the dumb, hero point system. Who the fuck thought to lock the most fun and interesting skills behind a map exploration system that takes 5000 years? Anyway, tried every class....and then just quit. GW 2 is.....not my cup of anything. Recently started retail WoW, so far LOTS of fun. We'll see if i stick to it.
Just the fact that the entire base game( which is hundreds of hours worth of story, raids, dungeons, open world challenges etc) is *free* is alredy a net positive.

In GW2 you create your character and start at the very beginning of the story. In WoW you have to play three RTS games before start the MMORPG and will be thrown at three expansions after the actual beginning of the story. So in the metter of storytelling, GW2 is way better.
I’ve played wow from its very early insider only days to dragon flight. I’ve played Final Fantasy 14, spent two years engrossed in NewWorld which became a waste sadly. EQ, UO, Asherons Call 1&2, BDO, ESO. All of these games have their own unique styles. They all have similar things, but Guild Wars 2 gets a lot of things right. They respect players time. The world feels alive and there are events going on both small and large scale. Your gear stays relevant. No stupid borrowed power like wow. No level squishes. Fun PVP modes. Guild Halls that can be customized in some wild ways. Patents! This mmo can be put down and picked up. Most meta events happen several times a day. Busy people also can find time too advance. Chase items and completionists dream. I have tried to get back into wow and it’s just not hitting the same. Endgame is pretty much raids and mythic plus and a real classy player base who gate keeps and wants everyone to be top parse etc. its no longer fun. I felt sad when metzen talked about landing the ship before we’re old. I’ll be there but it’s LFR me for the story and that’s it. Even metzen does not see how the players aren’t the same. It’s never going to be wow 1.0 again.
Played WoW for 8 years, transfered to GW2 a year ago god darn.. i wasted so much time and money on WoW.
I have never played any of these two, and I feel like the video tries too hard to make WOW looks good

i think its a matter of what people are looking for and looking at. Couldn't pay me to reinstall GW2 . Reasons why I wont go back. I played GW2 for 9 Years Wow for 20. -I have dealt with way more Drama with the community of Gw2 -They only release expansions every 3 years which is slow -The expansions they have released feel so small compared to WoW -Gw2 world feels so small compared to WoW -Detail I feel the detail lacks in Gw2 you walk in a house it looks tossed together not a lot in it , you Walk into a house or a ship on WoW it's lively and looks lived in. -I grew up playing with Everquest so the combat system on WoW is something I am used to. -They have only ever released 1 new Class on GW2 . (lame) -Gw2 said releasing new races will never happen because it's to much work. (lazy) -The economy was broken in gw2 by one pissed off hacker who put a bunch of items in the Trading post (never happen in WoW) -WoW so called gear grind is EASY and you can literally do it with out even trying. Just by playing the game. -Gw2 has never updated anything graphics wise. WoW has. -I feel like the devs do bare minimum on Gw2, compared to the Devs on wow -I like that Blizzard will alert you they know about certain problems in the game and the are working on it. With GW2 I had to search and ask around. -in the 12 years of GW2 They have NEVER released any new dungeons. -Fractals DO NOT count . They are consider MINI dungeons for a reason. -GW2 does not know how to balance classes. So the pvp SUCKS! Don't get me wrong I was good at it and never struggled . How ever to watch my friends main classes that always got the short stick and watch them struggle ...made me feel bad for them. I was always carrying someone. MY friend I had to always help out and carry on GW2 Can hold her own in WoW even she dropped GW2 for WoW There are only 2 things I feel like Gw2 did better Animations Crafting To me not worth staying around for. Just saying to me there is a reason WoW can get 2,129,170 players a day and Gw2 gets 365,656

oh Id also like to point out if I Blocked someone on WoW . I never saw them again the world was so big. In Gw2 I would constantly run into my ex husband, 2 ex bestfriends, and 1 stalker even after blocking them. The game is so small hard not to bump into the very little bit of people who play it. I even remember a time where my Bestfriend was like " awe look at this Asura" I look over and was like " b*tch that's my ex husband. " she gasped and ran away from him. I mean that moment I found funny. All the other times not so much to have to bump into people you can't stand.
In WoW you can NOT pick what expansion to level in with your first character. This made me quit, because i hated the aztec themed troll temple zone. 35 levels and i was in the same stupid zone. It got boring quick. I also noticed the same 5 dungeons kept popping up in the dungeon finder, why? WoW has hundreds of dungeons and you give me the same 5 over and over.
the most interesting fact of guild wars 2. that in a game named "Guild Wars 2"... there are no factions, and thus no faction warfare........

why would that bother you? i personally like not switching characters everytime i want to play healer, dps, or support/dps. in gw2, a profession can be all 3 just by swapping build templates with a button. its kinda confusing to keep the immersion in when im not always a necromancer.
Gonna get to the point on this one. GW2 has some unique ideas in place that I found enjoyable *weapon types effecting spells* But this game does have one big problem for me personally and that is the graphics/bloom. Specifically, if there was a bloom toggle, I think this game would look way better, but since that is part of GW2's style. The game is sometimes unbearable with how much lighting abuse they have going on via armor/landscapes. *dirt should not glow* Another rough patch is that if you are playing on a trial, mounts are not a right in GW2, making the experience traveling...Less then good. *Seriously, there should not be a timer on trials for how long you can use a mount for, it's 100% FOMO* All in all, while endgame -can- be good, my first impressions of it--And a specific dragon fight involving a ship/cannons left a terrible taste in my mouth.

WoW's community is super toxic. I kid you not, once, a brand new player in my dungeon was voted out of the group because he wasn't dealing enough damage... even though we were clearing everything super fast. He wasn't even doing anything wrong, just a new troll hunter in poor gear. He wasn't pulling anything he shouldn't, just low damage and at least 3 of the 5 people in the group thought they needed someone else for the Atal Dazar run. One of the final straws that convinced me to quit the game. That isn't a standalone occurrence. The community has been conditioned to optimize everything, and if you are too slow or poorly geared, they will abandon you at the drop of a hat. All WoW cares about is go go go go go go go go go go go!!!! The story is garbage, all the gear becomes obsolete each expansion, and the game is filled with grindy BS solely there to waste your time, so you keep paying for that juicy subscription. Not to mention the company wants to milk you of everything you've got because the CEO is a greedy scum bag who hates video games and only sees the players as dollar signs.
In WoW your toons are rented thanks to the Subscription model. No subscription in GW2.

You don't really get stronger since the enemies of the following updates will also increase their numbers to be equal to you, so you are really stuck eternally at the same point having the same power as the enemies of the moment, it even has the disadvantage that with numbers constantly increasing, past enemies no longer offer a challenge and are therefore unenjoyable content. It makes no sense that any random bear from the initial area of dragonflight is more powerful than Arthas himself.

WoW goes GW2! Blizzard has been copying GW2 since its release! Why should you play WoW when all the features have existed in GW2 for Years! Without GW2 there would be no Dragonflight or Future Expansions! Sad but True!
gw2 was a let down for me played on launch was fun but after the game became boring. now i never look going back to gw2 and thx god i did that . i love hardcore mmo not casual

even now Gw2 raiding still cant even compare to WOW wotlk difficulty level 15years+ ago. I dont enjoy doing stuff that is not rewarding. in WOW u raid and guarantee shinny stuffs in Gw2 u raid and guarantee trash@@Ailasor
WoW lore died at the end of WotLK ! GW2 > All ! ! ! :)
Correction: The normal races actually have more customization than the allied races, which is sad really.
,,Free to play version with ,,some'' restrictions''. HAHAHAHAHAH more like bazzillion most important things are all restricted to the point i have to say it shouldnt evr be called ,,free to play'' , but only something like ,,test mode'' .

idk, ive played f2p gw2 for 1k hours. granted i got addicted to wvw the moment i stepped in there, but it doesnt remove the fact i still got full ascended gear and was able to have fun with a f2p... or maybe im just a masochist coz a 60 slot inventory is torture with gw2's loot generosity. xD

Brother… the restrictions only like inventory space, banks and arguably the mount unless you have the expansions but they generously give you rent mount with only few hours.. imagine those who played since launch without mount at all until expansion came out. Gems you can exchange with gold vice versa 😂 now compare that to your monthly subscription.
So weird everyone loving the horizontal progression honestly that's the only system I absolutely hate about gw2. I never accomplished anything I'm as strong the moment I start to the moment I quit. There's no fantasy to it. But both games stories are forced down your throat to a point I find neither enjoyable to progress through. I want to play the mmo how I want not pay for this to move on.
if you are 15 wow if you are 30 gw2 - SIMPLE
no thx no pay to win for me, i will go with guild wars 2
At first, you should never play actual wow, it is pathetic
