Worst potential hypothetical updates:

Increase level cap would have to be tops.
Mini-pets now attack and can be killed!
Mounts!
Pay-per-storage! Now on sale at the GW Store!
We're undoing the AoE scatter affect in PvE!
We're increasing the level cap... again!
Introducing the +10e -100hp sword!

My best and worse are very similar.

Best:
Add Auction House upgrade to the game.

Worst:
* Add option to purchase Auction House upgrade from online store.

In my opinion, its the one thing the game needs the most, but if they decided to make it available only if you paid for it, I'd probably be done with Guild Wars for good.

Worst GW update:

* The release schedule has been changed! New chapters will now be released every 6 moths instead of every 12, and no extra content like Sorrow's Furnace will ever be released again!

Wait. That sounded a lot less depressing when it was in my head

seriously, things they might decide to do -

cant leave a town with out a full team to stop farming.

more pointless things to do that cost far to much money. (Like Titles)

but of cource not all updates are bad, they will no doubt have a brain stormingly great idea of an update and make it only available to nightfall accounts (like the new storage for factions)

Realistic update: Dervishes are reintroduced at the Nightfall release and are exactly the same as they were during the GWN PvP preview weekend.

Unrealistic updates: Level cap is raised, SS causes scattering, or AoE nerf removed.

Female chars look GORGEUS, male chars look AWESOME, warrior armors are AMAZING, the scenary is ESPETACULAR and the list keeps goin, if GW have some flaws they are NOT the graphics!!! Still, if it had to change for the screens 1-2-3 i would be happy, i mean, they are awesome ^^

ooo yes, and btw, i DO think that screens 4-5-6 are fake (they dont look real gameplay, mainly the interface that looks like an Illustrator drawing) AND the 1-2-3 are cut-outs from the GW wallpappers ^^

Later.
Nope, thsoe are quite real, http://youtube.com/watch?v=HKgmyMuZNdA Guild Wars WAS going to look like that, thank god they didn't.

Here's a good one. Release two new classes, the first being a teamleader who uses shouts to boost the other players stats, the other used as a tank for enemy npcs, thus phasing out the warrior, so hopefully gw will be fun again, since no one likes the warrior anyway.

The worst game update is any update that occurs while you're on a winning streak in RA. Because of the damned 'new build available' thing, you aren't allowed to progress to the next match.

Anet finally decided to listen to all the whiners & nerfed EVERYTHING!!! meaning the servers where shut down cause 5 preschool crybabies kept complaining, "this is over powered nerf it, I can't beat that nerf it, I don't like it nerf it, I want the game to be a WoW clone." So Anet just shut the servers down and said screw all of you, we're going home.
