Please ask about storage. I've read so many threads/posts about storage.
I don't see why they didn't think of this from the beginning...
What do they have against storage?

Necromonger
1. Storage -> ideas = key rings, dye tab (like materials), festival item storage (tonics/items/etc), higher material limit (over the 250)
2. Auction house -> please! this will improve the playability of this game completely, no more WTB/WTS, and all players will have a more even footing with income gained from selling (rather than just those who concentrate on market prices, buying/selling)
3. Keep working on PvE, it's important to a lot of us
4. As mentioned, new races could be looked at
5. 7 heroes (so we can party with Heroes only)
6. Don't have to re-enter password when changing Characters
7. Necro request, can the Necro get one Golem that doesn't die over time? and doesn't disappear when you move into a new area? idea = iron golem, create from a sword/axe/shield etc, lives as long as you are out of town or until something kills it.

Are we ever going to see Auction houses?
How about a Completed Quest log and maybe even a title?

Could we have 3 types of play modes?
Open PvE- much like any other MMORPG. GW gets boring with just henchies or a pub full of lamers. An open world would be very cool. I don't think can be done though.
PvE Private- general pve that we have now
PvP- keep the same

I believe some of my queries are being repeated. Anyway here is it:
1.) Will there be any cross chapters content(E.g. extra missions, weapons, armors) for people who own more than 1 or the complete set of GW?
2.) Will there still be content updates/addons for any of GW previous chapters?
3.) When will GW be able to support 64 bit processing?

Myria
1) When will there be a PvE-only version of the game to compliment the PvP only version?
2) Will the underworld freeze over before or after the storage issue is resolved?
3) Are there any plans for introducing a usable grouping system?
4) Ditto for a usable WTB/WTS system?
5) Ditto^2 for a usable guild recruiting system?
6) Have you considered a chat filter that would auto-ban (for, say, an hour... Or an eternity, whichever) anyone using the terms 'noob', 'scrub', or their variants?

I second the Auction house and inventory slots ideas.
Maybe it's more a suggestion than a question but i'm wondering if they are planning to make more use of the instancing they already do right now. The greatest strenght of Guild Wars IMO is that, unlike a "real" MMO, you can really affect the world (no mob or boss respawning in front of you or the house you burned down reapearing intact 2 minutes later). Also it could be cool if they did more missions where you fight alongside or against other players groups. That would give the feel or playing with more people without the technical difficulties.
I know they already did these 2 things a little with pre-searing and the Vizunah Square mission in Faction but they could do so much more. I hope something like this is in the plan in the future...

Also, I was wondering about how everything is so spread out, its unenjoyable, as stated before. I would like to no if anything is being done about it.
Whoever said the party system was stupid and was unusable didnt need to, they just have to be aware that people really don't bother using it.

Since before Guild Wars Prophechies went gold people have been asking for a new way to buy and sell goods. At this late juncture, is a different means of buying and selling even being considered or have you abandoned the idea completely?
If a new method of trade is still being considered when is it being considered for intruduction? Next chapter, five chapters from now, ten?

I'm a MM at heart. My first serious character was a MM. Will we ever get anything to help us? Minion panel, minions that don't die, anything? I would love a reason to pick ole Lazarus back up again. Please give us something.
I also want to see all of those other questions answered. Gwen, storage, auction houses, etc.

Are there any plans to make compelling 4 or 2 man areas/missions for lvl 20 characters?
Will the friends list ever be modified to allow for player notes?
The PvE hero mechanic is rather clunky, with heroes being tied to individual characters rather then the account, are there any plans to streamline this?
Will Guild Halls ever see a "Communal Storage" upgrade?

will we ever be able to change our character names or appearance, even if only as a one off, or as a micro transaction?
elsalamandra
Could the Moderator who is attending to this event kindly publish the list of questions that he/she is intending to put accross to ANET.
Like that we can all know what is going to be asked rather than have to wait for his/her return and then take it from there.
Thanks in advance.

My idea: Ingame mail
It would help in a number of ways, namely:
Make it easier to trade on forums like Guildwarsguru.com/tradeforum, as you won't have to meet.
It would give you the ability to trade with people who are many hours away from you.

Something I would like to see is a better way to travel between chapters. Will something new to travel be added?
For example, I am some where in Tyria and someone needs help with something in Elona. I would like a way to just switch my map, instead of loading into Kamadon, then traveling to the location.

Will there ever be a spell checker in GW? Ok, unimportant but I tried.
Question 1: How is the Auction House coming along? It would be nice to have it to where you can drop your item off with it's description and asking price, and forget about it. Then come back a day or week or whenever later and check up on it to see if you sold it. If it sold, just collect your winnings and be off!
Question 2: Pets. How I'd love to be able to switch from my charmed "lion" animal skill, over to my charmed "moa bird" animal skill. Come on, your killing me here! Am I or am I not a BEAST MASTER? So my question is: Will we ever be able to have more than one charmed animal skill? At least able to charm one animal from each chapter. (I'm thinking the skill names could be: charmed tyrian animal, charmed canthan animal, etc, etc.)
Question 3: My most important one here. Will we EVER be able to add-on an existing GW account with another (same chapter) GW account? Reason is I have 2 Prophecies accounts, Regular Edition and a Collector's Edition. This was in the days when you had to buy another account to store stuff in by the way. Well, unfortunately I couldn't get a hold of a CE until about 8 months after buying the regular GW. Will there be a way for ya'll to delete the account I want reset, so that I may add the key to my account? I'd hate to have a $65 CE GW sitting on my shelf collecting dust while my regular account has all the good armors and time spent on it. Thank you, that is all.

Dear ArenaNet:
Are you concerned that the PvE game is gravitating more toward single-player with the introduction of heroes (coupled with henchmen)?
Are you planning on further making changes (i.e. other than the new infrequently-used party system) to encourage cooperative gameplay?
Do these changes include improved drops for human-player only groups, access to certain PvE/PvP areas restricted to allow only human players, etal?
It's all part of the same question...

1. Are there any current or future plans to increase storage space? With the addition of inscriptions, and juggling various gear for each incarnation of Koss et al, I find the current storage space painfully limited.
2. Will new content ever be back-added to previous chapters?

option to keep multiple pets? maybe keep them in the guild hall when not used, or just give our characters "homes" to buy and customize
will there ever be an increase for the amount of skills the skill trainer in the guild hall has? maybe add the skills unlocked on a characters account at least
is the idea of character ingame marriage still on the table or has it been trashed? it was considered a good idea back in chapter one and havent heard much about it since.
jewlery or more charactor customization? is this happening or is it just a rumor?
more customization to guildhalls?
and as everyone else has asked:
more storage?
changing appearance?
accessable areas for those with multiple chapters?
is the new party window the current solution to trade, or will there actually finally be an auction system?

There was a thread started about taking the named hero henchmen in Prophecies and Factions, and letting people make Heroes out of them. Has this been considered, or would they be interested in doing it?

Will Fissure Armor crafted before the release of NF be able to be traded in for an inscribable version of that Piece of Armor
Tactical-Dillusions
Any chance of having abilities such as mining, fishing, skinning? This would add so much depth and variation to what players can do in Guild Wars.
Crafting could expand this further.
Please can you give rangers some weapons with expertise, beast mastery and wilderness survival requirements? And can we please have bow grips for +1 of said attributes?
Is the AI for pets being looked at, because they are very slow to respond, sometimes not even attacking targets, and never switch targets when needed.
A pet control system with basic commands is needed too.
Can we have some player control over the music please? A little jukebox would be nice, or let us assign music to each zone ourselves.
Pet storage?
Thanks.

Last chance for questions as I am going to work on consolidating things this week and send some of the harder ones up ahead so they can prep for them.

Part of me feels selfish for asking two more questions, but one is question generally everyone would like to hear about and another is more of a personal.
But! Seeing that time is running out..
Firstly - Obsidian Armor. Can we see some of this updated visually? The more recent classes have had more details and thought put into their armor, while the core classes don't have much visually going on. I'm not saying change it entirely, but could we see some new art update (for example) on the Elementalist Obsidian while still giving users the option of having the Old Style or the New Style?
Secondly and Lastly - Would you ever consider "hiring out" (Ie: In Game Gold) people to write stories and other information about Guild Wars to make the world we play in even more detailed? (Told you, love details.) - I know that you guys aren't a huge lot, and not one person can write everything. But what if you from time to time had people write stuff, send it, you all review it and it "officially be published, and thus official in the world of Guildwars" on your website?
