Automated Tournaments (ATs) were announced about 3 months ago and expected to be released soon. We heard that no guests will be allowed and that someone will have to be a member of the guild for 1 month before being able to play.
Some people are concerned that they won't be able to play once they come out, because a lot of guilds have disbanded and/or reformed after this recent tournament. I understand the reason for not allowing guests, but that is going to be unpopular too. So...
1. When will ATs be released/When can we expect details on how often they will occur etc.?
2. Have you considered shortening this absurd 1 month rule to maybe 1/2 weeks? Anything longer doesn't accomplish the goal you intended it for, just makes players unhappy.
3. If not #2, are you going to make any exception for newly reformed guilds when ATs roll out?

Unfortunately I've kinda given up on updates....
Nothing in months now has affected me or my playing.
Of course hard mode will change that hopefully.
Storage that would help...
Some hinted at update notes include :
improved AI - just hope they don't break it again, not highly visible
Improved missions - I've probably done them all and there's no incentive to redo.
Improved skills - meh...just tweaking I suspect
If it doesn't have major substance that affects the whole game the 2000 word update might as well be "What I did for my summer vacation - by Gaile Gray"
At this stage many of the well requested features if implemented would probably flop anyway, just like the in district party/trade system.
I'm afraid they missed several boats - and now onto GW2!
The king is dead - long live the king!

I really hope they implement the things that had been talked about in the last few months, such as pet controls, and fixing that stupid skills panel. I've given up on my ele's face being fixed: ignore something long enough, and people will give up on expecting it.

*cough* Back on topic...
While the upcoming update doesn't have anything to do with automated tournaments, she did say there's an article on them coming soon.

We have a large update in the hopper. The date and hour isn't known, yet, but it's coming very soon. (And I don't mean soon as in "sometime late this month." 
)
On the subject of the Automated Tournament System, yes, there will be an article about that this week. Yes, this week. I believe be able publish on Thursday, although that's not written in stone.
Thanks for your patience. I think you'll find the update and the article to be worth you wait.

Gaile, when will you post the Skill Balances for the testing this weekend (you had said you would do it earlier somewhere, as people liked it)?
Also, on a similar note...is there more information on Hard Mode? That information could make or break the future of GW.

I just hope more storage will be implemented before GW:EN is released, and hopefully in this update.

Are we getting the actual update or just a report of the update?

GW1 will still exist after the release of GW2.
New characters need to be created in GW2, but there is talk of maybe reserving GW1 names in the new game, at least.
In GW:EN there is a monument where you can enter your character's titles. These transform into bonuses etc in GW2.
That's as long as everything is on the one account.
