What is it about NF that makes you play the game?
aldricsedia
For me, i think that the game is based mainly on pve and heroes!
Arduin
The possibility of exploring another huge continent, with new environments, pets, enemies and so on 
Mr. G
To be honest im thankful they listened to most of the ideas/complaints on the boards and have them in NF, but really (even though its quite boring) Im going for the build saver/template/prof changer thingy
Lord Darkforge
For me, more skills, more exploring, more land, just more of Guild Wars.

In order of priority:
1) Trade improvements
2) Party formation improvements
3) Heroes
4) Build / template saving
5) New story / missions / areas / skills / professions
I'm pretty sure ANet will make 1) - 4) exclusive for Nightfall account holders, as an incentive to buy the new campaign.
I'm still far from done with Factions and even Prophecies, so the "normal" game content listed under 5) wouldn't necessarily have made me buy a new campaign.

Most from improvements are free to everybody if they effect things like how party list work, how AI work etc. If you only own first chapter you still see Assassin in your party and skills etc.
Arkantos
New professions, new missions, new enemies, new weapons, new aromor, new continent, heroes, and much more.

Party formation is completely below the radar as 1) people have adapted to LFG spam, and 2) many long time players don't pug anymore.
Improving trade is not a high priority to ArenaNet. We can guess this because, given how ridiculously popular this suggestion is in the fansites, ANet would make a point of advertising it if it were to be in NF. After a year of playing, most people have learned to endure WTB/WTS spam.
Skill templates may be implemented perfectly, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they will be like PvP templates in the sense that you cannot alter them. Or, to be precise, you can't save your alterations as new templates.
Heroes might be great or might be terrible. It entirely depends on how well implemented their AI will be. If I can give an assassin hero a certain skillbar, I should also be able to tell it what the combo order is as most effective assassin skillsets depend on correctly satisfying skill preconditions. Even dervishes require fairly precise order of skills or they aren't effective.
The storyline I am less worried about as they have a rich body of lore to exploit, and have experienced hands such as Jeff Grubb working on it. The story of Factions was very impoverished because it could not use any of the loose ends from the Tyrian campaign and the main arc was pretty dry. But when you start talking about ancient civilizations and wars of gods, well, you can pretty much pull an infinite number of monkeys from your behind without breaking a sweat.

Nothing about Nightfall makes me play the game - because it hasnt been released yet.

I haven't heard anything about trade improvements, but i had heard there will be a way to party across districts.
Oh yeah, I'm looking forward to a puzzle solving game too! But anything that includes new gw content is fine by me.

1. The two new Professions. I had no desire to play a Ritualist or Assassin, but these two I'm really excited about. I already have names picked out and everything!
2. Heros. I can't wait to see how they work.
3. Loose ends. Gwen? Dhuum? Can't wait.
4. The Graphics / Setting. They look amazing... my only fear in my computer won't handle it without major lag...
But the screenshots I've seen are incredible, especially the floating gardens and Mosques and monsters.
Bottom line: I can't wait for Friday!

im looking forward to the new arena (1v1)... and considering the story is written by the same guy who wrote the Manual of the Planes (read: bible when i was into DnD) Id actually have to put the story at the top of my list.
The new classes alone are enough for me, but this cake has so much icing I think Im gonna have diabetes by the time its out.

The truth itself
Reasoning.
1) It's Guild Wars.
2) More skills. New proffessions, that seem useful.
3) Better henchmen, and more challenging PvE content.

Funny how you phrased the questions....
Heros seem interesting
Wurms ^_^
skill templates seem nice, I hope they are all we expect.
paragon and dervish, both nice additions to the game =0
I'm sure that Anet has more up their sleeves that they haven't told anyone yet. Remember when factions came out? A week before they annouced titles, I figure the same for NF, build suspence!

I'll just be happy with my Gladiator, Skill Hunter, and Wisdom title track characters each having their individual titles.

I loved GW so far (with some ups and downs) but things brought out in the PC Gamer article that has me syched
For me, factions wasn't as good as orginal GW but enough for me to think the purchase was worth it. NF looks like the listenend to compalints from Factions.

How on earth are people answering this, when Nightfall isn't even out yet. So how can you play it, when you don't have a copy yet
Maybe the OP got confused that it says "Nightfall" on the new login screen? Maybe he means Factions?

I am looking forward to:
Heroes
Protector and Cartography titles
Skills
Puzzle-type storyline effects
Prophecies design team
The above have peaked my interest, but I am buying it because the GW population is migrating to Elona, and I don't want to be stranded.
