Well, since quality for one person might be garbage to another, we may never agree, but in my eyes, Guild Wars was superior to WoW. I tried WoW and found it to be exceptionally boring. Yes, it had, and still has, an incredible amount of polish, but the gameplay is laughable. With WoW, grind is the word. And thank god, you can have an opinion without the majority being right. How people put up with it is beyond me.
In Guild Wars on the other hand, you can be maximum level, have the best armor available and have good weapons just by completing the storyline. The game is focused on player skill, and doesn't require you to level up or grind for equipment or cash to be competetive. It's all about having the right tactics and choosing the right setup before going into battle.
And Guild Wars 2 looks to improve on the first game in every way.

As someone else already said, for a game to unseat wow it has to be something completely different as you need to attract the wow players with something new. |
The thing is, Guild Wars is actually one of the few games that are not hugely influenced in the MMO space, and is also rather succesful.
