GW is the best.
All you WoW players, just keep on paying those monthy fees...
No matter how hard you try to prove it, WoW > GW. Although GW is free (a big plus) it lacks many aspects that made WoW awesome. For instance, healing, it was actually healing with cast times, cooldowns, various ranks, and so forth. I realize GW also had that, but their system of implementing it was horrendous.
Now on to free roaming and interacting with others everywhere. This killed GW for me. You leave a city and bam! instanced off from everyone else unless they were already in your group. With WoW, almost everywhere in the world you could go with people who werent in your group, pretty awesome. Sure there are instances, but without some way to allow different players access to it would be a disaster. Without those instances, 5 people at 4am could sweep through killing everything in the world.
Onto customization, i got to level 12 with my ranger (sorry, hunter) and i loathed it. The gear was rather bland and you could really only get like 4 different sets, the differences being pretty much the color. With WoW, every item has a different texture. Yes there are sets, but 1/2 the time they look decent so no biggy.
Price, 15 dollars for GW and so so so so so much more! WoW is worth it. With new things coming out every month are so, it worth it. They even fix the bugs which ruin gameplay for others as part of that $15. GW is free and i dont even think a rabid dog would chew would give it the time of day to sniff it.
Alrighty, now i know my position is incomplete, but WoW is just a superior game in comparison. Yes it has flaws, 8 years old brats like female night elves (one could only imagine). Now im gonna go out to dinner so my two final statements are; WoW > GW anytime anywhere and please excuse any grammatical or spelling errors you might have found.
Feel free to debate me on this.
