A net, Your amazing and heres why.
What I see going on in Guild Wars right now, is the the devs are REALLY listening, and cracking down hard. As there upgrading the graphics of the game, and the looks, there also adding the content like saved builds and easy group finding methods that we have always wanted. Nightfall is mainly PvE, which the majority of the people want, but there not leaving PvP out, which I think is very fair, do to the fact that factions was PvP based. I also LOVE the Guild Wars store and the Skills and character slots, and the actual game buying right to your account, to me it simplifies buying a game 100%.
Another thing I am impressed about is the updates today and the last 2-3 days. I was simply amazed about having new skills for Sins and Rits, I mean Gooo Anet. And with the adding of more new Dervish and Paragon elite skills and sneak previews of some of the new skills for core professions and Sins and Rits for the next few days is amazing. Before we know it we may yet see a auction house, reconnects to party after errs and everything else we want.
All of this, AND lets not forget, Nightfall PvE weekend, Nightfall game, and just updated, more security.
Its looks like a good future in store for Guild Wars.
So, hats off to you Anet.
A Very satisfied Guildwars Player
Amazing A-net Amazing

Yes they're good Anet and they give us the former Blizzard quality if not more. When the standard is put that high, it's easy to get complaints though when making small mistakes. Big trees catch a lot of wind they say.

i didnt like Factions but give them time and Nightfall looks very good to me so far.
this is just the foundation of what we will get later people so there may be a few splinters before it is fully finished

If you don't believe me, check out the high end forums, I have never seen fire sales like these before. I am happy to say I sold my 2 perfect items, I only hope that the power traders who have multi millions find something to put out of reach of the average "casual" player, like for example, black dyes, the rich should buy them all and then charge 100k+ for each dye, then anet will have to make black dyes drop like the rain.

They should just fire the team that made Factions (I mean I liked it, but nowhere close to Procephies. But it DID have it's cool features.) and let the Procephies/Nightfall team make all the following chapters. They seem to be better at doing what the community wants anyways.
Plus I'm about 10 times as excited for Nightfall as I was for Factions, and with all the recent updates the future of Guild Wars is looking really really good in my eyes.
So thank you ANet for finally seeing what the community wants and implementing it. (Except for the Survivor title on Characters that already had a death when the title came out, I'm still waiting for that. >_<)
Still, much <3 from me.

brokenmonkey, thank you for a warm and positive thread. And the rest who posted with the same generous spirit. These are very busy and, honestly, stressful times. It's wonderful to see kind and supportive comments! 
I will be printing this for the Wall of Fame.

well, so far I do feel they do a above average job in most cases.
sure, it might not be done right away, or it be done as what we imagine, but hey, I for one admite that as a player I dont see the big picture. Picking up chat here and there is hardly the big picture=P(or they wouldnt need GG)
I am not saying GW is perfect, I still think both storyline is crapy, which I e-mail them a few times already(nice to know they get a well known for Nightfall) I still find skill combo bug every now and then(the shortest fix I see is 1 week, longest is 1 month) I still dont like the auto-reply thing when I report bot, I understand it save work load and its the most logical way to do things, I just dont like it=P
I hope they can do better, but that doesnt means I dont think they are doing good now=P
so~~~ GOOD JOB A-Net
I should make you a thank you card again.
I will try not to do something as corny as using gold to spell thank you this time=P

When I looked at the title, first thought that came to mind was another sarcastic thread that flamed Anet :P.
And I agree, it seems like they're listening to what we all want, and it's nice to see that happening.
Some things like this- you need to expect that from companies, because in the end, it's all about business and making money, but I do thing they've gone above and beyond that.
New graphic updates, build saving templates, the guild wars store as mentioned, new skills AND armor for the assassin and ritualist.
By the way Gaile, next time you see the man or woman who's been creating names for the new skills (eg "Cant Touch This," and "The Power Is Yours!")..Tell him/her to keep it up..some hilarious stuff there lol.

Everyone post! Hurry! Get your name on the Wall of Fame!
Actually, with Nightfall I do see them listening more and implementing more of our suggestions. I really can't find much in Factions (granted I didn't look very hard) that was asked for by the community. I personally feel part of the reason is that Factions was already started before we had suggestions. With Nightfall this was totally different, they had TONS of suggestions to look at and think upon before setting out with what they wanted to place in the game.
Its taken a bit, but I believe that future expansions will continue to follow this path, containing more and more of what we are asking for.
I'm still a little skeptical about Nightfall after Factions, but with what I've seen so far, it really looks like they listened to us. And I feel that most everything we get in Nightfall is something we'll have asked for. Which if you think about it compared to other games...IS AWESOME!

Agreed with OP. Thank you A-net, glad to see that the community has been heard. This is the reason that I continue to invest my time and money into the game. I tend to stay loyal to game companies that listen to their customers and keep in contact with the community (which is why I still love Bungie and the Halo series), and seeing this in A-net just means that I'll be sticking by them for a long time.

I am amazed at the difference and also at the ease of Guild Wars. No more going to find and d/l huge patches. No waiting several minutes for the game to load every time you play. No hunting for severs to play on

Indeed, Anet always starts "listening" around a month before a new chapter hits the shelves. I wonder why...

Gaile, got another one for your wall:
My girlfriend doesn't like computer games at all - don't ask me why, but I never even got her to try out the beauty of Guild Wars. Anway, not too long ago I was complaining that I had to reskill my necro from PvE to PvP setup and bored her with all my bitching about how I probably should buy another character slot for a PvP necro so I don't have to reskill all the time. A few days ago I came home and she said: "guess what I read in one of your RSS feeds (they are shown on my screensaver)? you'll be able to save your skill setups in the next chapter of that stupid game you obviously love so much more than me. Well, at least there obviously are some cool people behind it who listen to your whining."
I have to say that I agree with her (well, not the part about the game) - Nightfall seems to be one giant present to all the players who begged for certain features. So thanks for that - you guys rock!
But even though you are cool my girlfriend still thinks I'm insane to buy yet another collectors edition for that "stupid game"

These are very exciting times in the GW world.
Everything about NF so far looks amazing
More PvE based-music to my ears

I purchased Guild Wars Prophecies last weekend and have been playing it every night. I used to play Counter Strike all the time but lately I read a lot about GW at work (lol) and so I thought why not give it a try. And I've enjoyed it very much. The best part for me, is that even slow internet connection would work. Don't get me wrong, I have cable internet with 15mb/s downstream, but my roommate frigging downloads bittorrents 24/7, but even so, GW runs smootly for the most part!! I also look forward to Nightfall very much and preordered it already, now all I need is more time!!!!
Oh and yes, F**K EA and BF2!!! buggiest game and worst patches ever!!
Oh also, I bought the GW GOTYE but couldn't get the bonus items in game, so I contacted Anet/NCSoft, and man, they responded so quickly. The situation has not been resolved yet, but I receive an update on a daily basis on how the problem is being handled. That's good customer support right there!!
So thank you A-net, and keep up the good work
Cheers
