... How does this matter? I mean, honestly, you're actually saying that all games should be held to the same standards, no matter when they came out? That's patently ridiculous. When a game came out matters. Being the first game to do something matters. It doesn't matter if I haven't played the game before, if I know it's doing something no game had done before, it's potentially impressive for that.

And now that impressive feat that it got to first doesn't matter, because EVERYTHING does it now and it's not new anymore. I'll lay it out like this: I don't care which got to the formula first. All I care about is which one is more fun. Guild Wars is NOT the most fun. That's all there is to it.

OHJ yeah, and of course you can't wander a zone for "a dozen hours", the zones aren't anywhere near that large.

And you've missed my point. You can wander a zone for however many hours you want to and it will NEVER CHANGE. You'll never come across another player or see some new event. It's just you, whoever is in your party, and monsters to fight.

That sounds like D&D Online's system. I definitely found it (in D&DO) boring compared to GW.

And I found GW boring compared to Vindictus. So there you go.

Did you dislike Diablo II's multiplayer mode because it wasn't massive, but instead you had to do everything in groups?

Never played Diablo II multiplayer. And, before you comment, Diablo II has tons of loot to find, which I like, GW largely does not.

And for those the whole point usually is to get to that point and then back, or somewhere else, so some kind of instant warp to that point would completely defeat the entire purpose of the quest.

It's not a instant warp, it's an auto-walk. You click the highlighted location on the quest display and your character automatically walks to the destination.


But, really, all this back and forth is irrelevant. You love Guild Wars and everything about it, while I find it largely empty and only somewhat fun. No matter how many points you bring up, I'm still going to see Guild Wars as that and nothing else.
