I’ve hear good things about GW1, but never got to play it.
GW2 is my top favorite MMO, although I haven’t really played much recently, because due to the lack of gear treadmill it’s soo confusing to pick it up again when you stopped playing for a few expansions.
GW1 and GW2 are very different games. Don’t expect an MMO if you try GW1. You only see other people in cities, the world itself is made up of instanced zones. Only your party is there, and there’s a well-defined mission in each zone. Think of each zone as like a dungeon in an MMO.
That said, it is a great game. I prefer it to GW2, but I would guess that MMO players could be disappointed if they don’t go in with the right expectations.
Due to the absence of gear treadmill… It makes it super easy to get back into. Unless I misunderstood your comment. But I just came back after no following SotO and VoE and I am pumped! Playing the whole story since the very start :)
Oh and with such easy access to legendary gear the gear treadmill is even flatter. Come to us, we welcome you!
If I’m getting back to a game with gear treadmill, I can just clean uo my inventory and start the next exoansion with a clean slate.
I have around 70% of the world cleared, several characters leveled to max, but I got through kike half of HoT and a bit of Path of Fire. I opened my full inventory that had a lot of random crafting stuff, consumables a a gew gear sets and I had no idea what’s anything for, or what am I even supposed to do next. Did a few quests then gave up in trying to sort it out, since it was just too overwhelming.

Will probably give GWR a try.
