As much as it is an animated character, scantily dressed women sell. Picture of Eve is cool though.

Yeah, I want some hot men on my games' boxes too.
Oops, never mind me.

The first one had I think 2 variants variants with 2 characters (one on each side). Mhenlo was one and there was a warrior on the other if I remember correctly. They had the females on the opposite side. I have the CE so don't have one of those handy but remember seeing them in the store.
bloodvayne
There was mehnlo prophecies box wasn't there?
And the Nightfall box on the reverse side is a male prostit... I mean paragon.

They attract more customers. to men they are hot and mostly men buy games and to the women they are females so they find it cool that females get noticed. or they find it hot too. either way keep the hot girls, why complain?
Theus
Because tits sell.

The only box that has 2 females is Factions

guild wars - devona
GW factions - Vizu
GW Nightfall - kormir
c'mon we need something better a real good ending like a huge Norn dude put a sword thru great destroyer face or something.. no more girls endings....

If they had violent pictures on the boxes, no kid would be able to get them because their parents wouldn't buy it, thinking it was a violent, blood spattering game.

Lets face it, girls are just more pleasant to look at. Whether they're real or animated
. Hence the reason for them being on the cover.

Guild Wars: Mhenlo, Warrior on cover of some boxes
Factions: Two girls. Could of had a male ritualist...
Nightfall: Unique as it's the only Chapter with the Villian as the centerpiece. Villian could have been male, but since her ancestor was male, I guess they decided to make Varesh female.
GW:EN: Am I the only one noticing that Jora's breasts are getting bigger with each revised concept art?
Maybe somebody could post all the Jora concept art to compare....
But, yeah, I'm surprised Gwen is not on the cover, especially since she's the focus of the Video.

I remember Prophecies had Eve on one side and a warrior on the other with armor that isn't possible to obtain...
As an aside, I guess ANet realised that 2 bowls over her nipples didn't make a good bra.

strange, everyone I've seen has had a female on 1 side, & a male on the other.

The original Jorah concept looked so savage it was for Helga the barbarian fetishers only. Now she's more universally appealing. 
Eve was the reason why i first picked up the GW box.Then i saw "no fees"
And i think putting a veiled muslem style girl on the Nightfal box was an original idea too.

For a more appealing look i suppose. Quite frankly it doesn't matter to me what/who is on the box. What matters most is game play and having fun

I thought the reason is pretty obvious.
Men play games and it also just so happen that they are attracted to hot looking womans. It also helps that a lot of womans like hot womans as well lol.

Prophecies had three boxes, each with two characters (one on each side). There was Eve, Cynn, and the unnamed mesmer and ranger for the girls, and Mhenlo and the unnamed warrior for the guys.
Both Factions poster children were female (Nika and the unnamed Luxon ritualist).
Nightfall had a male paragon and female dervish, both unnamed.
Eye of the North has yet another lady, Jora.
So, three guys to eight girls... I think I know what NCSoft's target audience is...

The Jorah concept was fantastic. She looked great and was very convincing. Very attractive to with a great solid figure (for non-teenagers I guess...). The new Jorah (or the 3d version) looks more like a model dressed up as Jorah. There to look all cute and pose for pictures instead of fighting for the honour of the clan or whatever. Not convincing at all. No way those skinny arms are gonna swing anything remotely heavy, let alone a huge friggin' Claymore. I hate fantasy....
lyra_song
Dont forget the Jora that you actually play with in game.
I personally like the face of the 3D High res jora, but perhaps with the build of the refined concept...not too skinny but not too built on her.
nunix
Might as well ask why most of the female avatars run with their wrists bent and, oh yes, none of them seem to understand the concept of "support", as evidenced during the surprisingly aggressive action of firing a damn bow.
Answer: target audience is lame. -.-

Jora is actually really cool, in the newest! All the other girls(EVE, the faction and nightfall girls) where ugly, but this Jora is cool.
She looks hot, she has cool armor, but most cool is her hair. she got this cool long hair with big locks in them. she looks very uniqe. I would pay for a really big poster of Jora.

Because the Devs want it that way and what do you see in game more than anything females.Jora looks like she is up there with Devona to bad we can't get Devona as a hero as well.
Theus
I guess the AB's Jora had were removed.
All the fatty nerds were probably intimidated by them.

I liked the original concept art of jora the most, althought the suction-cup-bra looked really goofy and it's not a surprise to see that they ditched it. The latest CG one just looks kinda sterile.
And yeah, it shouldn't be a big mystery why most of the cover characters are female, considering the majority of customers are males. It's easier to make a hot chick than it is to make a badass dude that doesn't look.. well.. paragon.
