It's a bit depressing, really. I wouldn't want to lose GWEN, but I'd definitely prefer a new chapter of GW to the release of GW2. I'm in the minority there, I know, but the things that are being changed in GW2 are some of my favorite things about GW.

Even more on that (thought about it yesterday night):

spell. All your spells are disabled for 30..10 seconds, then all you spells cast instantly.

This chronomancer idea really is fun (I'm playing a Magic The Gathering game that has time-related features like this!)

I don't think many people are getting the point. The reason why they didn't make utopia is because they didn't want to spread GW even thinner then it already is.

The fact is GW is becoming the way it is BECAUSE of the way it was being handled, and they only way to fix that is basically redo the whole game. thats not feasible and doesn't make sense in an mmo world (its also what killed Star wars online). If arenanet kept making chapters the series will be dead in no time. Imagine having 7 chapters and trying to find a group, its not going to happen

Some people just need to shut up and wait, seriously. Anet's far from being the best company in the world, but They made a smart choice seeing what was happening to the game and deciding that chapters wont work anymore.

Some of us rather like "the way it is."
