Thinking GW2 is going to make all of WoW's playerbase unsubscribe, and go play it for the rest of their lives is something that won't happen, and yet every single time a new 'ground breaking' mmo comes out people say the same thing, 'oh this one th REAL WoW killer'. That's wrong, a lot of peopel can take time for both MMOs because there is no raiding in GW2 so PvE is a lot more trivial for it, im not saying there is no PvE I am saying PvP from everything I have seen seems to be the primary focus with a good bit of PvE to the side, where in WoW PvE is the primary focus with a good bit of PvP to the side.
GW2 doesn't even have the trinity system, which will appeal to some and not to others, it won't kill WoW, it won't de-throne WoW just like Aion didnt, and Rift didnt, and DCUO didnt, and Swtor wont, and AoC didnt, and every other MMO you could possibly think of that came out after WoW. It is compltely possibly for the two games to co-exist together and both be games people play, but don't think there will only ever been one dominant MMO, especially when these two MMOs are COMPLETELY different.
I honestly could play WoW and some GW2 to the side when im waiting for a new patch or when i dont feel like playing WoW, or it could be the exact opposite. As mainly a PvE player, GW2's pve does not appeal to me, the game looks interesting though, but that's all im giving it. I won't be quitting WoW for GW2, there is no point I can buy GW2 like I would buy a console game and keep paying for WoW like I normally would.
GW2 and WoW are in two seperate markets, they aren't competing, or at least not majorly.
Plus nobody knows how good GW2 is, they promise a lot sure, will they deliver, or will they deliver to the point you are expecting, they may give what they told but not to the quality you are expecting, or they may deliver. You won't know until you play it, which i am betting, none of you have.
