Wait, what? I feel like there is a problem here somewhere... if only I could put my finger on it.
Everything creates huge amounts of negativity on the internet, that's what the internet is for: Negativity, porn and lolcats.
never once thought that my self although guildwars 2 ranks #1 on my radar over any game in the next decade to buy.
Only thing Id buy before it would maybee be SWG PRE-CU recelebration monster mash with CryEngine 3 engine and new content added into it PRE-CU style.
Actually the OP is not the only one to mix up wow and gw2. 2 of my friends(wow players) didn't know a thing about gw2 and when they watched the manifesto they compared charr/worgen Sylvari(old desing)/elf Asura/gnome(because of the size maybe?)
But starting a thread about your first impression after watching 30 seconds of a trailer is just stupid trolling.
That city doesnt look like gilneas, it looks more like ironforge ::trollvictory::
Btw, I strongly reccomend that article about GW2. It may give you quite good impression how's the game like and how it differs from other MMOs:

I was going to make a complete thought out post in rebute, but I'm done. It isn't worth it. 1/10 for making me bite.
That actually made me laugh, pictured that stupid troll dad meme after I read that.
I hate to burst your bubble OP, but Blizzard didn't create the elf.. so yes, you should expect elves in a fantasy MMO.. Also those "worgen" you are referring to are called Charr and are unique to the GW franchise. I can also attest to the fact that the cities do not even come close to resembleing the cities in WoW that you are referring to.
I have a feeling OP is trolling..

Wow didn't invent fantasy, so I fail to see how gw2 using traditonal fantasy aspects in there game (art and lore mind you) means it's wow 2.0. The so called "worgen buildings" are based on actual architecture btw, wow didn't invent that either.( I couldn't even find what buildings you were refering, but thought I'd throw that in there).
Calling worgens charr shows you don't know much about the lore, but none of this fantasy stuff matters, considering the game has much different objectives and mechanics.
I think it was the castle like theme that I caught with the animal humanoids walking around that to me reminded me of Gilneas.

This something I haven't seen in a while, an ignorant WoW-baby.
It's made me realise that people have come a long way from thinking WoW was the first fantasy mmo. Well, most people at least.
Charr existed before WoW introduced worgen as a race.
Asura are more like things from Final Fantasy than gnomes.
Sylvari are frigging plants.
Yes almost all western fantasy has a number of tropes that get constantly recylced like those damn stupid looking pointy ears on various races.
But seriously we can play this game with ANY fantasy game with races. You realize how easy this would be to do with EQ2 right?
It would be even easier to do this with Skyrim instead of WoW, at least Edler scrolls has a race that is actually a humanoid cat similar to charr. Rather than people trying to claim a frigging Werewolf clone (as if this was created by frigging Blizzard, I mean do ppl realize how stupid this is?) is the same as Charr which are lion-like and have a completely different culture than Worgen (which really are just Werewolves, I mean they are created from humans even just like werewolves).
OMG this game has furries. WoW has furries 11111!! this must be the same. I mean come on guys. Seriously please. I am begging you. WoW took a centuries old legend and used a different name. Its not even an original name, its just something they stole from Tolkien. Please don't equate that to the Charr, just because Charr are furries.
Never used the term. Once again I simply stated it was what I was reminded of.
Now here's the thing, there was a time I did enjoy playing world of warcraft. It was rather enjoyable at one time and definitely will be hard to replace, not having played it in over 8 months I've been on an active search to find an interesting game that can give me the same gratitude that wow had once given me.
A simple question comes to mind about time/investment and if it's worth given another main stream game the effort I once put into another game. Yes I enjoyed Eve but not a fan of how it's currently being played out right now and yes the same goes for current Wow. Since Cata the game was no longer appealing to me, for multiple reasons.
Anyway, going back on topic. Even if this game was a wow clone, or not a clone it hardly matters. What matters if it can provide someone the same entertainment and the same feeling of gratitude while playing it and if the money they are spending is worth it. In a way I hope guild wars 2 has similar features to wow, cause at least I enjoyed playing it unlike many others.
The main fact is I was taken off guard with how much the trailer reminded me of it, I honestly felt a little excited in a way. To know that I might be able to get that same enjoyment I had long ago when I played a similar type game. I play games to have fun and if I can manage to find another one that I can deem just as fun then I'm all for it.
OP should check out transformer: Dark of the moon

Seriously, it's just like world of warcraft.....even i can't believe how shamelessly micheal bay copy and paste those texture and spell effect into it...gosh
Even if charr resembled the wrogen they are in guild war 1 which released near same time of world of warcraft, did world of warcraft had worgen back then? uh yea thought so.
Nice troll attempt tough was fun reading every comment against your OP.
Dear Soul,
Does Canada remind you of America? Does a Donkey remind you of a Horse?
Ty
Definitely not the first, I'm not an idiot. Secondly, it's easy to compare to games I actually played then ones I had no interest in playing especially when it's a game that everyone and their grandmother know. Your point is even less valid then the ones I tried making earlier.
Says the guy that failed trolling by posting this exact same thread in the EVE section. Lol. Nobody should give a crap about this guy or his views. He's just looking for attention.
So your saying your stating your opinion but not because you care if anybody takes it into consideration. Why would you state an opinion when you could care less about the end result of that opinion.
For myself I tried WoW, didn't think much off it and even though I have enjoyed other Blizzard offerings never felt compelled to give them any money for that offering. I didn't play far enough in the game to say GW2 is the same as WoW, but I wouldn't render an opinion about whether it was or not based on 1/2 of a trailer without knowing what the game had to offer that could make itself stand out.
You know as a Canadian I can say yes in many ways it does remind me of America. A donkey also has many similar features that a horse possesses. No neither things are alike in both questions, but they have their simularities. Which can cause someone to be reminded of one or the other in a non extremist way.
I clicked the new thread button without realizing exactly what feed I was located in. Simple human error, get over yourself
Threads like these makes me wonder how many smear campaigns Blizzard places in MMO gaming forums and in other games in order to sabotage launch of competitions and sway public opinions.
