Not all MMORPGs are like this. Guild Wars rewards skill over loot/level.
You guys should really try this game out. It's not about how good your sword/axe/staff is, it's about how good YOU are are using them situationally.
Think of Guild Wars as a professional level MMORPG. Everyone has 'regulation' equipment. No one's stuff is better than anyone elses. After all, Baseball and Football require teams to play with 'regulation' gear. You can't use a corked bat even though it hits farther.
Guild Wars provides a 'level-playing field' that has been lacking from RPGs since the beginning. Oh, and it has MUCH better graphics also.

Not Guild Wars
Guild Wars is indeed different, better. Skill is rewarded in GW, not loot, armor or weaponry.
You can solo in GW, but it's not easy. You have to *understand* how your skills work and use them appropriately.
People fed up with WoW should really give GW a try. It's an awesome game.

Europe's Beagle lander had airbags and it failed. Of course, it did NOT have a descent radio system, so we don't know why it failed.
