Guild Wars breaks away from the traditional MMO approach in several areas, including the pace of combat, the leveling system, the skill system, the way you travel through the world, and the way the game is updated and supported over time.
The Guild Wars competition infrastructure is global, which means that a guild that holds position number one on the Guild Wars ladder is number one in the world, not just on the east coast of the U.S., or on some arbitrary server with a fantasy name.
Furthermore, in Guild Wars victory is earned through skill: guilds that train, plan, coordinate skills, lay battle plans, and study their opponents carefully will be the ones that dominate that ladder and tournament in Guild Wars, not just those that are formed by players who play hundreds of hours per week.

RP'ing in Guild Wars can be summed up as: talk to NPC, receive quest, follow linear path to point X and kill tons of monsters along the way, talk to NPC, receive reward.
Guild Wars' has none of this; there is no ROLE to fill, nothing beyond completing X quest.
A final bonus is that since the audience of Guild Wars is smaller and it's a team oriented environment, you get less asshats then you might see in Battle.net and believe me, that's a very good thing.

Guild Wars is all about PvP in a fair, sporting sense: groups of skilled players battling it out in organized, controlled events, and those with the strongest strategies and most cohesive teams prevail.

In the end, Guild Wars fires on all cylinders, with an impeccable technical implementation, gorgeous graphics, and a daunting multitude of things to do in both cooperative and competitive play.

This leads to a great deal of specialization; for example, an Elementalist can be moderately good at wielding fire magic, air magic and earth magic, but if he allocates all of his magic into just one of those disciplines, he can be quite the force to be reckoned with.

 Guild Wars Review for PC - Pro-G
Guild Wars casts off many of the traditional frustrations and faults of the traditional monotonous multiplayer monster-basher and presents us with an elegant, story-driven, very individual experience, despite it being shared with thousands of other players, and, possibly most incredibly of all, you only have to pay once for the experience.
Now that you should have a basic outline of the game in mind, I think the best way to explain exactly why Guild Wars is so brilliant is by comparing it to others in its genre and explaining exactly how it overcomes their difficulties.
Guild Wars is something of a pioneer, incorporating many new and relatively un-tested features into its formula (including, of course, the convenience and comparative inexpensiveness of a one-off payment, the advantages of which cannot be stressed enough).
