Guild Wars 2: A question.

So apparently, from what I'm hearing about Guild Wars 2 is that there is no true endgame (that the devs put most of the content into leveling). And if this is true, the only reason to buy the game is to kill the final boss, run around PvPing (which I've also heard is hardly different from PvE), and farm ridiculously hard dungeons just for appearance-changing items.
How much truth does this hold?

I could never get into the first Guild Wars series, is the second one much different? Obviously there are nicer graphics, few tweaks here and there but is it a completely different game or just a graphics update with some new items/mechanics. For me it's between getting the special MOP edition or GW2 and just a normal MOP...

I'd say it is worth the purchase simply because of its lack of sub fee, so any way you look at it, at the very least you can easily squeeze about 70+ hours of gameplay to experience the main storyline. That's more than enough bang for your buck, if you exhausted all there is to do in the game and are bored, you can leave and come back at any time without having to re-sub.
Now, the real question is: "is it worth it to commit yourself to this game?" now that question is a lot harder to answer.

Its quite different from GW1. From what I gathered, GW1 was less of an MMORPG and more of a single-player MMO that is played co-op and simply required internet to play. It was focused on completing campaigns and story-archs, rather than dungeons, or battlegrounds.
GW2, is more of a middleground, it still has instanced singleplayer campaigns, but also has persistent open ended worlds, and BGs. So I'd say yes, its quite different. Plus the first game allowed to play only humans, this time there's more races. I say that counts.

See if this game got released in January I would definitely play it as it sounds awesome. I would probably get pretty into it too, but since now it's so close to MOP I will have to wait few months :) No point committing and getting addicted to a game when I know I will play MOP for ages in 2 weeks.
Anyways, thank you both for explaining Guild Wars to me, it's now definitely on my list To Buy ^_^
