I tried WoW. It was a good game, but I'm not somebody who'd spend $10+ a month just to kill things to get to top level and get the best stuff.
GW is more suited to my tastes. Level 20 is reached within, like, a week, and your best equipment comes straight from the shop. There's nothing more to get after level 20 and your best armor and weapons, except status symbols. Then you can start PvPing to unlock skills, weapon addons, etc. There's no need to go "Oh fux, I don't like this character. Time to spend another 30 dollars to buy a game card, level my next character up, then get all of its gears up and ready for PvP!"
A week to be competitive, a lifetime to be godly, and yet competitive and godly people both need actual PvP skills? Yesplz.
WoW is just cookie cutter builds everybody uses. There's no teamwork involved, besides shouting on TS "GO HERE! GO THERE! ATTACK THIS AND THAT AND CURSE THIS AND THAT WITH THAT SKILL YOU HAVE ON ONE OF YOUR 1025809124 SKILL BARS!". Why? Because everybody has a cookie cutter build, and everybody knows what you have.
GW, you can never have a cookie cutter build because you are limited to such a degree. No matter what you do, you'll be depending on your team to fill in when you can't do anything. Which is why team work and team discussion is so important. You can't just go into the wilderness expecting the ranger to trap everything, then lure every monster into the traps. Because the ranger might not be a trapper with the traps you want! You can't just grab a necro, and hope he'll raise minions, because he might be a curse necro without a single animate spell!
In the end, GW offers more of an unique experience for me. WoW is basically just another online MMORPG grindfest glorified to massive proportions.
That's my take on the whole issue.
