The biggest negtive I have against Guild Wars is that it is so linear. You get a quest to go kill X guy, and you have to go all the way down some path to get to him, killing everything on the way. It's more like some sort of dungeon crawl than an MMO. Whereas in WoW most of the time you're in a big open area and you can make your own way to your destination, not be forced along a certain path. You can jump off stuff too. I'm also not too fond of the interface, seems a bit clunky at times and your character can be a bit fiddley to control. Of course, that might be due to my lack of experience. The plot is a bit boring too, but that's certainly just me. Oh, I also dislike the way the entire game is like a single instance just for your character or party, and the only place you interact with others is in the towns and stuff. Sure, it means you don't get bothered by other people, but it makes it alot more like a single player game with a multiplayer addon than an MMO. MMOs are all about interacting with everyone else on a day-to-day basis, wether you want to or not. GW seems to lack that (and world PvP).

Guild wars is a good game though, it's worth getting if you have the money and time. Looks pretty damn cool, has excellent customization for your character (although, only one race it seems). But when it comes to depth, individuality and class WoW is face superior.

As for level grinding in WoW, I've leveled both my high level characters without "grinding" so to speak, just doing every quest I can get my hands on. Though, some quests do involve grinding to finish. >.>
