Even the laggy auction house!

Theoretically speaking, the entire Dragon isles has been in WoW all along since Wotlk. Just the fact that there are former Blizzard employees working in GW2 could tell you who stole the whole idea earlier and from whom.
Such insight, I can’t wait for the constructive discussion that follow this nugget. Scholars will refer to this down the ages.

Gw2s trading post was only laggy for a short period. I did see on low performing pcs the trading post and store being in the same tab was laggy for em tho
What do you mean?
It’s been laggy since launch and still is today.
On low performing pcs, and I know that from personal experience. Now I have a new pc and it’s gone.
And no, wow didn’t copy anything from gw2. Two completely different games in all segments, all systems (even the gearing system), style and graphics, classes and gameplay, worlds, pve and pvp, wow has factions gw2 does not, etc, all completely different. Only dragonriding can be a kind of copy, but blizz still did it in his own way and imo they did it better than gw2. Ofc gw2 has this system far more developed. For example gw2 copied 2v2 and 3v3 arenas, but I don’t see it that way because imo all mmo games that have pvp should have this kind of content.
I’ve been playing gw2 since day one and have been playing it longer than retail wow btw, and the games have nothing to do with each other.
Does it matter if its copy/paste from another game? as long its good idea and QoL i’m for it!

Absolutely. That’s what I meant when I mentioned the example of the arena. Good content that all mmo games should have and it doesn’t really matter who started it first. And I hope blizz will continue to develop dragonriding in future patches and exps.
For example, in gw2, in addition to the massive grind, mounts also require a ton of gold, which is essentially another massive grind, and it’s actually the most boring part of the game, which ofc can be bypassed with real money. Skins cannot be obtained in the game by playing, but only by purchasing in the in-game shop. These are very important differences that, as far as I can see, players often overlook when comparing these two seemingly similar systems, and I’m glad that blizz did it differently.
Now I’m craving McDonalds 
I hate you.
This. Nothing about flying into rings is unique to guildwars or wow… as if your gonna just say wow copies gw2 and ignore all the base mmorpg rules that wow has setup for gw2 to use… no-one would even dare say that gw2 or any other mmo copied wow because that is just how gaming works. You take inspiration from succesful games in your same genre and expand upon them…
No they did not, you think it is the same as the guild was 2? Then please explain me HOW the game is called World of War Craft, or else you can not call it a copy.

Those cardboard nuggets? Bleh. They just taste of oil without the dips.
Nobody cares about the rings.
It’s the way the mount is manoeuvered that is copy pasted from GW2.
It’s an amalgamation between the Griffon and the Skyscale.

To be fair we’ve had a laggy auction house in the past too. Or at least high pop realms have.
It broke in BfA as well as did guild banks with bad lag. On Draenor in any case.
Nobody cares about you thinking they stole everything from gw2 either 
I disagree.
My opinions are basically the pillars on which these forums stand.
I never found it laggy on my pc really. Dunno maybe i just didnt use it enough i didnt rly have issue with it.
I know my brothers pc took about 20 minutes to load it though
DF is basically WotLK remastered so, can’t be stolen, but yeah some new quests and features are literally copied from other games. Well, I guess the entire industry of MMO games is crippled.
Thank god it’s not.
It’s more like MoP.
