Yeah, Guild Wars was such a bad game that it got all those awards... 
Yes because we all know from movie and music and other entertainment awards means something is great and fantastic.Personally I hated Guild Wars I tried to like it and get into it but I just never could.I am sure alot of people loved it for the simple fact it was b2p and they had no sub fee after that.

As a matter of fact awards associated with games are generally a good indicator for how good a game is, just like movie awards and music awards. Just because you personally didn't enjoy it doesn't make it a bad game, it makes your tastes different from other people.

Actually, success is a much better indicator for how good a game is. People will hand out opinions with amazing alacrity, especially when paid to do so. Parting people from their money in larger-than-sample-size lots takes a lot more effort.

There are games that get that many awards that aren't successful? I don't know of any...

Probably the best Analogy to use when it comes to GW 1 and GW 2.
GW 1 equals Warcraft 1, a good game but with some issues.
GW 2 looks like it will equal Warcraft 2, a great game that was very different from Warcraft 1 in how it played.
This is rather fitting consider who founded Arena Net and were they came from, Blizzard may not be half the company it is with out Mike O'Brien and the other two Anet founders.

I could care less if you say you didn't like Guild Wars, just don't be an imbecile and say it was a bad game when there is evidence to the contrary.

I don't think you understand what an opinion is at all. An opinion is something that can only be subjective so calling a game bad that has a stack of awards isn't an opinion, it's just plain wrong. However if you were to say you didn't enjoy the game for X reason, that is an opinion.
For a more accurate definition, I will provide you with this:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/opinion
Opinion - a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.
You're welcome for the English lesson!
Edit: Unless the stack of awards are for the worst in something I guess.

You really want to argue with an English major on this?
