Obviously, those other games intimated have large, persistent and mostly contiguous game worlds. Whereas Guild Wars 1 and 2, do not have contiguous worlds at all. The former has no persistence either.
Login queues typically only matter during major releases or expansions. I have yet to ever hit a log in queue in any game for any thing other than new release/expansion. So really this whole, "I'd rather play than stare at the login screen!" is at best HIGHLY circumstantial and worst, stupid.
