My experience:
I bought Guild Wars because Raditzu seemed to be playing it a lot, and I thought perhaps I'd like it too. Being that the only other MMORPG I played was Final Fantasy 11 I was a little weary. It was free to play, so why the hell not?
When I first started, I thought it was great. The quests were simple, the exp was alright. I didn't care for the controls, but it was sure pretty. Hell I even danced naked, who doesn't? I got to level 12, and was searching for more quests, and ended up going to the next "area" and not being able to go back. It really sucked, that's when I stopped playing. Not to mention the PVP I tried wasn't that great to me.
I bought World of Warcraft finally, although I thought I'd hate it. Graphics looked cartoonish, and again, not a fan of PVP. My boyfriend played too, so I started playing with him, and started getting hooked.
WoW has SO much more content than either FFXI or GW, and I don't care what anyone says. I grew addicted to that game. The quests are easy, and you can solo the game if you really wanted to. The end game is fantastic, if you get into a good guild. The PVP isn't so bad, I actually did it for 4 days straight for an item, and people who know me know I don't like PVP much. The graphics may not be "pretty" but they're still amazing.
From my experience I found that GuildWars felt like a ripped off version of WoW and D2 put together. It's really more of a PVP game than a RPG, in my opinion. If you want long term content, fun exp grind, and good optional PVP, I'd suggest WoW. If you just want to PVP, and look at pretty graphics, then GW.
