I've played all these games AND Guild Wars, it's not like I'm talking from some position of ignorance or anything here. Guild Wars has more polish and does some things to make it interesting, but ultimately it plays similarly to many of the others I've played. And all those things you listed in Guild Wars favor are more or less in play with other MMOs like Lord of the Rings Online, Dungeons & Dragons Online, and Vindictus. And other, lesser MMOs like Jade Dynasty and Aika Online aren't too far behind.
I wouldn't put it at the bottom, no, but I also don't consider it some extraordinary achievement in the genre which no other game has ever surpassed.
