It takes a minute if that to reboot. If that's to long get a SSD and do it in like 10 seconds.
Reformat wd my passport for mac. Torrents for mac. Guild Wars 2 is far more enjoyable because it has amazing moment to moment gameplay where you can do cool things and accomplish something in 30 mins, while WOW doesnt get fun until you've bored.

It's not because of the time it takes to reboot.People usually enjoy idling in MMOs, even using them as instant messengers and so on.

I'll give you a small example from me. I'm an iOS developer, so I usually have my coding environment active at any time even after work, casually switching between programming and playing/chatting and so on. Now, a friend comes online and asks me to do an event with him real quick. I have to save and close down everything I'm currently doing, reboot, start GW2, and play.

Usually someone might IM me while I play and ask me for some information, which I can't access from Windows (maybe because the password is stored in the Mac Keychain or whatever). Now I have to ask him to wait until I stop playing, which plainly sucks. After I stop playing, I have to reboot again into MacOS, open everything I was working on and proceed. Obviously that's much harder than just alt-tabbing around.![Guild wars 2 mac system requirements Guild wars 2 mac system requirements](/uploads/1/3/4/1/134121313/876029776.jpg)
