How much is this like GW1 I enjoyed that one at first but then fell off it hard once I hit the level cap and all there was to do was pvp

There are tons of gameplay videos on YouTube that can answer this question better than anyone playing the game, as the general answer will be "not much like the first one at all" followed by an insane amount of explanation that could...as I said...be explained easier in a video or two.

It's not like GW1 at all.

It's not like GW1 at all.

We are talking about the same game right?

Guild wars 1 didn't truly START until you hit the level cap.

Sorry if it sounded like a stupid question, but I am the opposite of jeff on this I wanted something different not gw1 but more

It's nothing like GW1. Now, whether you consider that a good or bad thing is another story.

This game takes a lot of the design principals of the original Guild Wars that many appreciate, but realizes it in a wholly open massively-multiplayer world. Along with that, they've also moved the genre forward in so many meaningful ways that it's hard to not appreciate their effort. I think this is plenty of 'something different, not Guild Wars 1, but significantly more...'.
