Guild Wars 2 vs Runes of Magic (Crafting wise)

Hello guys,

I have been playing Runes of Magic for some time and I really like the concept of crafting (blacksmithing, armorcrafting etc)... I have never played any other MMO before so this question might seem odd. I have heard Guild Wars is really a famous MMO and the sequel Guild Wars 2 looks very promising. I am looking forward to it but I want to ask that is there any concept of crafting in Guild Wars ? I know the GW 2 is far from release but if this concept is present in first game then it will come in second as well so anyone who can tell me about crafting concept in GW ?

Thanks guys.

Yes ? is my question that surprising ? I already told you I don't have any knowledge of MMOs except Runes of Magic because its the first one that I played...

Guild Wars never had a crafting system, instead, they had an Upgrade system. To promote PvE, they offered the chance to get weapons with amazing skins (or Graphics for you people who don't know) and allowed you to get upgrades pieces to further improve it. Since the game is PvP based, there is a cap on maximum non-upgraded damage, but with the upgrades you could add up to 3 extra stat slots. Most of the upgrades are naturally balanced, such as vampiric weaponry which added +3 damage and heal on attack connection with -1 health Regeneration.

Okay thanks guys I think I got an idea about guild wars, its sad that it does not have a full fledge crafting system like Runes of Magic but I am still looking forward to the sequel.
