Techinically, it is, but it&#8217;s also more of a discussion between the two. Mainly of battling the bosses.<\/p>\n<p>Currently in Guild Wars 2, you can eventually take the fight to Zhaitan (following your Personal Story). In the Heart of Thorns EP, you&#8217;ll be (assuming) able to take the fight to Mordremoth.<br \/>\nIn WoD, we&#8217;ve already killed most of the Iron Horde except for a few.<\/p>\n<p>Notice a difference here? Yep&#8230; this is where WoD is currently failing. But, don&#8217;t worry, this isn&#8217;t another &#8220;WoD sucks and here&#8217;s why&#8221; post. So, yeah. We killed most of the Iron Horde. Yet in Guild Wars 2, we were only able to kill one of the Elder Dragons.<\/p>\n<p>The trend seems to be that Guild Wars 2 is getting it right, by making us wait for the next expansion to kill the next Elder Dragon. Yet you also got to think how WoW does it. For example; in WoTLK, Cata, and MoP. You didn&#8217;t kill the &#8216;final boss&#8217; until a few patches later.<\/p>\n<p>So there you go. I was going to add about the differences in fighting the final boss, but that would take me off topic.<br \/>\nMy point, is that Guild Wars 2 (though it&#8217;s its own game compared to WoD, which is an expansion for WoW), the time to battle the final boss is prolonged; gated behind expansions. They&#8217;re like patches in WoW, except they take a few years until they&#8217;re released instead of a few months.<br \/>\nThis (somehow) makes the game better.<\/p>\n<p>Though I personally feel, that Guild Wars 2 is like another &#8220;freeplay after the main questline&#8221; single player game, and now I feel I have nothing to do. All I&#8217;m doing is just waiting for the expansion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Oh no, not another comparison!&#8221; You must be thinking that.
