It was mentioned in one of the video clips something about special "red" weapons you get from certain quests/objectives in GW:EN... these red weapons will be what go in the HoM. It was also specifically stated that things you put in the HoM are still available for use... you basically record that you have them and still use them.
As for me... I have a bunch of low to mid level minis, all the heroes handful of titles (working on them...)... as for pets, I saw that only the 'special' ones will count, namely the Black Widow, Black Moa and Imperial Phoenix.
Hall of Monuments - Your area of focus?

Ok ok a quik question Now how you get Olias i got Proph but dont know were to get him and when i finish nightfall it doesnt give me a quest to get him any 1 know?

Im going hard on titles. Im at 10 max right now, hope to be at 20-25 after a few months of playing EOTN. Should have al my carto ones by EOTN release.
I will have all heroes. I will also being going hard after the EOTN weapons for my hall.
I also will be collecting minis (19 already) & 15k Armors (9 across 7 toons) - although I will mostly concentrate on my Monk here and try to get a set of all the high end armors. Got 4 already, need FOW I guess (even though I have resisted to this point). Hopefully by the time GW2 goes live ecto will be 1k each and I can get it then!!!

Yichi
increasing my epeen as much as possible, so that way on the off chance I'll still be into guildwars and not a different game at that time, I'll be able to say that i am satisfied without any suppliments or perscription pills
Lt.Crumpet
armors ftw. titles take way too much time, and dont look nearly as cool as a nice shiney set of metal skin. heroes, bah, ill get em all without trying. weapons, we'll see. minis....well, i gota lubricate my armor with something....
Issac
If the armor and weapons look really cool, then I'll go for them first if not, titles and then hero's lol.
KamikazeChicken
I'll do the pets because I already have a black widow capped on my monk in prep. The black moa and phoenix are easy enough to cap, and then I can get w/e GW:EN adds.
I'll also toss whatever armor, minis, and titles I have into HoM, but I won't be going out of my way to get everything. The only thing I'm sure to max is the heroes.

Miss Puddles
i'm going for titles (16), weapons, and minis. i would like to get some new armor but i'm a tidbit broke atm so that will be a long-term project.
actionbatman
ill be going for the simple stuff such as:-
The 3 titles for finishing the stories with masters, since its basically like saying you finished the game which i would want to show i did in GW2. Map explorer titles aswell not maxed though.
I already have a 75k set for my ranger but will be picking up another 3 sets of 75k for my dervish. Wont be getting anymore armor after that since im only really interested in the armor i would want to wear in GW2. I do know that it might not work like that but better to just get armor i like anyway then for the sake of the hall.
Few collectors edition mini pets and also somemore which i might buy and from characters.
Weapons Im going to try and get all of them since it seems they will be part of the dungeons which i will be doing anyway.
Ill have all the heros from playing anyway along with the pets from my ranger.
Basically im just going for stuff i would like to remember such as derv armors and titles that show i beat the game. Im not into grinding titles or titles that seem to have been added just to keep you playing the same stuff such as hard mode since GW for me is really about the story and once you been though it thats it apart from when you want to have a quick play helping mates.
My girlfriend meanwhile is going to have one set of ritualist armor and the heros. She isnt really bothered about the hall since in GW2 its really only going to be for show and not really effect the game in much way.
she has already got a good role playing reasion for it though even though it dosnt fit with GW i dont think. which is that one day her ritualist kidnapped a asura and made it her slave after many years the asura managed to get her staff and beat her to death before hanging her body in the hall and trashing her accomplishments. then off the asura goes for GW2. she does know about the time difference between GW1 and 2 but she says we dont know how long the asura can live for.

Since I haven't kept many or at all any character longer than 1 year, I have been buying up cheap minis. I don't need them all or alot, just a few so I have something.
I am saving my money on armors. One reason, I like some of the GWEN armors more then previous armors. Two, even if I go and keep buying various "high end" armors, I want to get ones I know I will like.
Titles, I have some I am dedicating myself to get, but I am not going crazy on them. I don't have that much time to spend on getting all titles, so I am focusing on a few and once I get those done...I will see if I want to add any more. I finally got KOBAD title. ^_^
Also, on the note of titles, is there any word if titles accepted are only maxed out titles? I hope not since some titles at this time don't have a max and some are out of reach for most casual players (like myself).
I am hoping that each title that can be added into the HoM will fall under one of these ideas: (just my ideas)
1. Has to have a certain rank (at the very most)
This one is more grind to get a title into the HoM and not very casual player friendly. However, this one lets only titles that have some "achievement" behind it get into the HoM. Instead of a bunch of R1 titles that everyone will most likely have, it rewards those who get into the higher ranks and further their titles by spending the time (or money for some titles) to get a higher rank. IE-Rank 6 Sunspear, Rank 3 cartographer (80% explored) will be entered into the HoM and updated if higher rank is achieved, but R1 Sunspear or R1 cartographer will not be entered.
2. Be a wearable title (a middle ground)
This one makes more sense since some titles can be earned but can not be worn since the rank is too low. If you can wear it as a title, it can go into the HoM. Best middle ground that can fit the vast majority of players out there.

I've got all the 1st year miniatures (But the bone dragon, Me wants a bone dragon... T-T... a FREE bone dragon, XD)
I'll try all the PvE titles with one single character, then take it easy until GW2.

Until I know how this will all work... I don't want to be plopping down gobs of gold for armor that I don't even really like the look of. All my toons have mismatched sets that I think look good. Why "waste" gold?
Titles... I just managed to finish off Legendary Cartog, so next up I guess is Skill Hunters (since I'm most of the way already), but again until I know how this all works out I'm not going to start forcefeeding (and buying) sweets down my ranger's throat!
Pets.. I think at some point I've charmed just about every pet in the game - will that count or do I need to go on a charming expedition? (and again, what will this really do?)

I really have no interest at all in the Hall of Monuments. When the GW servers close at some point in time, I won't be playing GW2. The sword and magic schtick is starting to get really old. I want to move on to something different. I will be checking out Tabula Rasa & Pirates of the Burning Sea when they release at the end of the summer.
silvershock
Armor , some minipets, prob low lvl 1s who just look cool, pets, TITLES(I will try n max a very difficult 1, and if i still feel like playing maybe go for another 1 too) all the red items and heroes. Basicly i want my hall of monuments to be filled. :P
Stormer_99
I was going to focus on my PVE Titles until I realised they just happen to leave them out. It says PVP titles.. Thats a load of crap.
4ssassin
All your rare weapons till now are also crap, according to Anet. So are your customize mixes of armor, and any heros that dont have upgraded armor, because none of them get anything in HoM
KANE OG
Armor and weapons and pets and heroes and titles....... they're all screwed up. HoM is the lamest thing anet ever did to tease us., It's a load of crap, and I challenge anyone to convince me otherwise.
Generic pet statues? Upgraded armor only heroes? EotN ONLY Weapons? Ridiculous PvP reqs? Mesmer armor in a Warrior's Hom? Keep going. It's a big fook up.

I was just wondering, is it possible to access the Hall of Monuments if you only play PvP for your PvP titles etc; or must one go through all the grinding PvE rubbish?
Dark-NighT
Meh for now ive put in 9 minipets, 6 heros and 1 armor set, i want my titles to be there but currently they are only supporting PVP titles, which i have none. Basicly i got 8 maxed pve titles but appearantly anet decided that those arent worth anything to the hall of monuments, which sucks cause i spend a lot of hours getting them.
Bugger.

RhanoctJocosa
I'd like to get my glad6 (if ANet don't ruin the title before that) and maybe hero9 if I find time after exams and stuff.
I also wanna get a GMC, probably Tyria, on my warrior because I've always deterred myself from trying because they look so hard. ^^
I'd also love to get an unconditional weapon/ dual-2 shield but I'm not sure if my funds will foster such dreams. ^^

I had been planning to go primarily for armour and, if they had worked differently to the way they actually do, minipets.
Knowing how the minipets ACTUALLY work, I'm going to be keeping them out until the last possible moment.
As for armour - it's going to take the display of the actual (class-specific) armour of the character rather than the silly placeholders we've got now to get me to go buying ascended armour specifically for the Hall, although I will be keeping it in mind when choosing additional armour pieces and thus will likely slowly build it up.

Metal Herc
Well.. Looks like I will have NO focus in the current incarnation of the HoM.
I have 3 Minipets, 2 elite armors and 3 heroes to put in the hall. My Legendary Sunspear and soon to be Legendary Lightbringer and Grandmaster Tyrian Cartographer apparently aren't good enough.
Oh well, I am sure it will be changed. They have 2 years to fix it.

and no, i doubt I'll focus on any of the hall of Monuments, they do seem a bit to grindy for me and i like my mini pets as they are at the moment, although I may put some of them in closer to GW2 release
Gli
I put all Nightfall heroes in there. I had a few armor upgrades stashed so upgrading the few I hardly ever use wasn't such a big deal. But, why oh why, if they need upgraded armor before I can put them on a pedestal, why doesn't it show that upgraded armor? The piece of mysterious armor I put on Zenmai feels like a bit of a waste, seeing her statue in her normal vanilla bodysuit armor. That bit makes no sense. Oh well. I also made the mistake of putting my animal compagion on there. Being a mere dire red crab, it got a dumb generic statue. I want that one gone but it seems it's there forever. Oh well.
As for titles, that bit is a disappointment. I'm hoping there's going to be a bit more attention to PvE titles. After all, the whole HoM strikes me as primarily a PvE thing in every other aspect. Oh well.
Weapons, armor and minipets: I didn't unlock those yet. I'll probably add some weapons and armor. Minipets, I couldn't care less about. I don't own any and the ones I get usually go to guildies for cheap. Maybe I'll put a single one in there someday to fill out the place.
Finally, I'm a bit disappointed by the HoM as a whole as far as what the preview showed. A lot of 'oh well'.
Here's hoping they'll make some changes, but that's a different thread.

HoM was the single biggest disappointment for me this weekend. I don't want to customize my mini-pets (I understand Anet's logic, but just don't like it); I like to mix and match my armor, which HoM doesn't like; you have to have near max PvP titles to get them in HoM; your heroes must have upgraded armor (I don't care what they look like so I never got them any); the only weapons you can put in are GW:EN weapons.
Did I miss anything?

EternalTempest
I'm going to just focus on one character.
I just need 3 more *any* maxed title to get Kind of a big deal to finish out the pve titles.
I think I will do mapping, this will also help with money, which will go towards ascended armor cost.
I don't pvp so I'm going to pretty much ignore those in HoM.
Mini-pets, just add any I happen to get but not going out of my way, already have 8-10.

ElinoraNeSangre
Probably just armor and maybe weapons; not really a huge titles person, and also not big on having to grind for upgraded hero armor when I really could care less about what my heroes are wearing. Also not really all that big on limiting my minipets to use with one character.
Not thrilled about having to have full sets of armor to put them in there, but I understand the reasoning; why give someone the reward of only doing half the job? But I actually like some of my mixed sets, and really don't want to spend a ton of extra gold if I can help it.
I kind of look at HoM as a perk, though, and not a necessity. I'm here to have fun playing the game, and if stuff I get while having fun fits into the HoM, awesome. If not, then I won't bother.

Harmless
I'm only doing the one for heroes and pets and the one for armor. I only displayed one set of armor. What you see is pretty much generic.
Mostly I will just ignore it for now, I've pretty much lost interest in it until we find out exactly what it does for GW2. The rest of EoTN I very much enjoyed.

Yawgmoth
Untill it gets seriously reworked, I will completely ignore it and play the game as though it didn't exist.
So hard to stop myself from typing long paragraphs on how poorly implemented it is ~~
I'll just enjoy the rest of gw:en and go back to working on my pvp titles like I did before... at least they should matter.

Armor will be my main focus for the HoM. My main character is a Mesmer, and part of being a Mesmer is looking good while spreading the usual chaos, panic and disorder. I love to collect prestige armor and then mix and match them to create new styles (the only problem I have is deciding on which style to get next - should I get the elite sunspear gear now or wait to see the new armor arts in EN etc). So I can easily see the monument to resilience filling up very quickly 
Imaginos
Doubt I'll do anything but armor. All the others are horrifically flawed in their implementation by Anet and thus suck. Perhaps when Anet fixes them to be worth using then I'll use the others.
Enko
i already maxed out my armor monument and my hero monument. while i have a collection of 40 minipets that i can put into the pet monument, i'm not going to put them in unless its made account based. in the mean time, i'll probably just get 10 sets of the 1st and 2nd year minis and put those in and keep the asian minis i have uncustomized.
tacitus
The HoM as it stands is awful and im not paying any attention to it until it has had some serious work. Before hand i would have liked to show my pvp titles but rank 12 hero. What a joke!
No thanks
No thanks

The only thing I have to put in is my titles and my heroes. So far I have 6 heroes with upgraded armor, and I will be IVI once I max my LB and Norn titles. I dont really care too much for rare skins, but If I get one I like I keep it
Being a Male elementalist, I dont care much for ascended armor.
