Guild Wars has cooler stuff though. You get environmental effects, interactable objects, and more interesting defend/survive scenarios that CoH really just doesn't have. There's never a turret you can fire, or doors you can shut. There's never archers on the roof you have to take down, or a point you have to hold against invasions. And you only get very occasional environment effects like lava or Circle crystals. I'd love to see a whole lot more of stuff like that.

You are right, Guild Wars had cooler stuff. However, your forgetting something. Actually, alot of things. Lets compare a few things, without even getting into the missions.
Level caps: CoX: 50 and Guild Wars = 20.
Zones: CoX total (so far, and just the normal zones, not mission maps): about 49. Now Guild wars (And this is Cities and the zones out and around it, but not the mission maps most cities have): 35+ And thats JUST counts the towns and areas ONLY in the Prophecies game (the first Guild Wars) and only counting from the two Regions: Ascalon and Kryta just two out of 6 in that ONE game, not including the other 2 stand alones in the series AND the expantion.
# of Skills Total: CoH is a limit of 18 Powers from their powersets, and a total of 16 from 4 power pools, and another 4-6+ from Epic Power pools. Now then, they can use as many of those skills as they want. Guild wars is limit to only being able to use 8 skills TOTAL on any one mission and only 1 can be an Elite Skill (unless they capture an elite or more than one while in a mission without entering town), however, they can choose (if they have the money and/or skill points to buy them all) around about 150-200 skills PER profession.
Final thing to take in mind. CoX is SMALL, I mean very very VERY small. only 49 and thats including Heroes, Villians, PVP, and shared maps, while Guild Wars is HUGE expanding many continents even. But also Most of CoX's stuff and content, like 80-90%, is BEFORE hitting max level. While EVERYTHING past the training area is Max level for Guild Wars. You can't compair the two games, cause everything in CoX has to be based on different levels, different skills and combinations, but also on the small amount of people that play and the small size of the game. It's smaller than many MMOs I have played. Also, Guild Wars is all "end game" content, but also Guild Wars, tho has a few repeatable quests, actually HAS a story line, it does have an ending, it has movies, plot and plot twists, you can probably even make a book out of it from the beginning to the end just doing the main missions.
Wow I typed alot... Everyone probably skipped it, so basicly what else CAN you add? The game is small, small now, small when Going Rogue will come out, Small in 100+ years! Do not expect anything big. Also, this game already has some very unique things I have never seen in other games I would like to see in ones, the big one being that there ARE Evirmental stuff that effects the plays, the monster events. The Giant monsters that spawn inside of the cities every few hours and or days, the Clock Paladin that actually like the best cause he doesn't just spawn he get's build from scratch and you can actually hunt him down and such. Also the Zombie and Rikit invasions are unique as well. As for more stuff in the open areas, we do have mobs, we have the invasions, the giant monsters, we do have missions that require going into other buildings and such, stuff no other game has. What more could you ask for? why do you think things as small as what your asking, has never been added? cause it isn't needed. ok, thats the end of my rant, and if people don't like it, and or flame me for it, I'll happily, if the forum lets me, delete the post.
PS. Yes my spelling does suck, so no ranting and flaming cause of that!
