Building comparison
head to head
AionvsGuild Wars 2
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is reads, and it is a single point.
Aion
Execution · Practiced Mastery
A PvP-centric MMO where aerial execution and reading opponents in Abyss battles define competitive performance.
Guild Wars 2
Optimization · Practiced Mastery
Active dodge-heavy combat with a deep build system, tested against both scripted content and human opponents.
Aion leans Execution (Practiced Mastery); Guild Wars 2 leans Optimization (Practiced Mastery).

Enchantment stone RNG is a meaningful hidden-information layer
Guild Wars 2
Loot RNG is present but secondary to skill expression
Optimization6 vs 7
Guild Wars 2 leans a little harder on optimization, though the gap is small.
Aion
Manastones and gear sets have well-known optimal configurations

A matching score does not mean a matching test. Two games can both sit at 10 on execution and demand completely different things of you - which is why the reasoning above matters more than the number beside it.
