More interesting for a few reasons
-- Something new and different
-- its not WoW
-- No monthly subs
The game itself:
-- Questing is much more fluid
-- Exploring actually means something (view points, skill challenges for extra skill points etc).
-- Travelling around the world is much easier
-- Random in-game events that happen all the time which are radical.
-- Graphics are pretty
-- Combat is nothing like Wows. There is no set rotation, you dont just stand and push buttons until the thing dies, you have to dodge and use the right skills at the right time.
And i've only reached lvl 20 in GW2 so i havn't touched the tip of what it has to offer.
Dont get me wrong, WoW is a great game with everything it offers, but there is nothing new for me to want to go back. The expansions just dont have any game changers.. except maybe pandas...
Guild Wars 2 BOOOOORRIIING
Guild Wars 1 was my first MMO and I loved it, I even played WOW, for a while but went back to GW1, what a great game, but GW2 just lost the plot and missed it , what was fun on GW1, were not in GW2. I cant put my finger on it but I just could not play it any more, and with no end game ...............
I had to force myself to play it and only because i felt obligated because i loved GW1
If it was not such a major grind to level 90 , i would go back to WOW, but because the game has been running for so long it is also difficult to get into Guilds for a spot in the raid team.
This is why I went to Rift, more or less the same as WOW, but its a new game everyone were noobs and had to figure it out.
Lots to do:
Rifts
Raid Rifts
Chronicles
Dungeons
Raids
Pvp
Adventures
Big Events all the time With Major bosses (google :Volan)
