So you've spent hours of time getting all those titles, minipets, and armor sets, and you've placed them in the HoM. GW2 rolls around, and you go to collect your rewards.
What do you expect?
For me, I want any titles and any minipets I've dedicated to the HoM to be up for grabs by my characters. I don't want a replacement, not a system like, "Everyone that put in any minipet will get <new pet>." I'd much more prefer to just see what I earned for myself and what pets were my own appear as they were in GW2.
I can't say the same for armors, weapons, and other items like that, because I don't know how many of those they can transfer piece for piece onto GW2 without it just looking like most of the GW2 armor came from GW.
HoM and GW2: What do you want?

If there's one thing I really want, that there is no binding names from GW1 to GW2. The fact that your char names in GW1 are reserved is good, but... I don't want to be forced to use my GW1 char names in GW2.
And I also want it so that the GW2 HoM goodies are availiable to all of your characters, not linked between characters. Basically all of your achievements are pooled and you can take them out on different characters as you need it... This idea is for those who concentrate titles/minis on one main character, although they have 7-8 alts.

I expect that we'll get armor/weaponskins that you can't unlock in gw2, only via HoM.

I don't care what i'll get in GW2, i just want to play the game when it's out.
I also don't want my char names reserved, i wanna make new ones.

Since I don't have GWEN - I hope the rewards are insanely trivial.

From what little has been said about HoM affecting GW2, I gather that most of what we put into it will mean either:
A. Diddly Squat. Something different and new, but will be soon cast aside.
B. Shiny. Like Squishy mentioned, armor skins and weapon skins that only HoM people can get. However, look back to A. They may help you stand out when you start GW2, but in the end not as desirable as other items/skins that will be accessible in GW2.
Personally, I hope if we get a Kurzick/Luxon/Sunspear/Druid/Ancient/Primeval/Norn/Asura/Ebon Vanguard armor in our HoM, no matter what race or class we play, it offers whatever benefit.
Example: I enter my Dervish Norn armor into HoM. When Gw2 comes around, I decide to play a Ranger, I hope that they recognize that I worked for the Norn and can get said Norn benefit of armor entered (however that may be done), instead of Dervish class players only benefit.
Titles and Minipets-not sure how they will benefit us in GW2.
Heroes-I am guessing your future char as an opportunity to have access to (as GW2 knowledge gives us) a sidekick(NPC not the human sidekick buff that is being talked about) that is an ancestor of said hero. However, that leaves us with still ALOT of heroes to choose from to take on as a sidekick.

I want HoM to give absolutely nothing to GW2.
Rewarding grinding for titles is lame.
I will laugh my ass off if titles award titles.
Protector of Cantha awards Historic Protector of Cantha title.
Would be ironic, people grind their ass off for a worthless title, that will reward them later, but they are rewarded with another useless title.

Here is what I expect, though I'd be happy if I was wrong.
Mini-pets = a title that is based upon number of pets you dedicated.
Heros = a title based upon number of heros with new armor.
Armor = a title based upon number of sets of elite armor.
Weapons = a title based upon number of destroyer weapon + bonus weapon = to current bonus weapons from pre-sales and game of the year edditions.
Titles = you guessed it, a title based upon number of maxed titles in KOBD tract or total number of titles in HoM.
All in all I don't really expect it to be any real great big thing that will make those that start with GW2 feel any need to go out and purchase GW to unlock/aquire.

I expect to "unlock" titles and other "rewards"
Unlock does not mean that it is available right away.
I really do not see the gaining of any items possible as A-net has stated that these rewards will give NO in game advantage of any kind.
I am thinking that this will be like the "ghostly" Jedi in SWG. You can look different as if to say,"I was there" but there is no playability difference other than E-peen.

I doubt titles,mini pets, heros, armor, weapons will mean NOTHING, but I am not hyping myself to believe that the titles will mean I am superior over another or give me something cooler/better.
Side note: Do we even know which titles/heroes/armor types/mini pets might mean MORE than others? Of course not.
There are titles in which almost everyone has, and some titles that very few have. Some of the higher level(aka harder to max) titles might have some better reward, but then, since there is still quite a bit of time to work on them to GW2, the higher end may not be so unreachable to many players if they start or continue working on them now.
Tender Wolf
I agree with what's been said. When GW2 comes out I want to be able to have all my titles and mini pets available, and I want to be able to wear all my armors (at least for the primary profession, I'm not sure how that's gonna work). And also, I don't want to have to use the same name. Since this is supposedly taking place 100 or so years in the future I don't think we should have to.
Aerian_Skybane
Don't give a damn, I am just looking forward to a fresh new game to satiate me for 3+ years like the current GW has.
The only thing I care slightly about is if I could keep my name, that would be cool, but far from immediate.

Salt in the wound is me playing for 7,000 hours, making 10 characters, all who have finished every game, and spending most of my time helping people. What do I get for it? Nothing, because I didn't spend 95% of my time in Guild Wars grinding. That is salt in the wound.

I think you mentioned an armor-like one too that I'm not too crazy about, just because of the major cost difference between FoW armor and anything else.

My Guess is that it will be Titles.
Maybe some weapon skins but that's it...
As far as armor goes, I don't want to be able to wear the armor that I'm putting in the HOM. There should be cooler, newer armor in a new game, right?

problem with this whole "your decendants get special stuff" thing, is that if these benefits are available from the beginning, then rather than it being a new game with a fresh start, it will just be another game with idiots laughing at the people who didnt grind for 10 months to get a silly title. its baisically giving the grinders another thing to think theyre better than us for, and right off the bat too!
on topic, im hoping that since ive got about 18 minipets in my HoM right now, i hope that its not some stupid "you get a pecial minipet if youve put more than 1 minipet in your HoM" -.-
for armor, i got my main the dwarven armor (silly me) and the dragon gloves because i thought they looked best on him. now, i have to go and spend ANOTHER 40k to get something for my character to use in GW2. does not want. hopefully we do not get some exact copy of the old armor in GW2, i want new armor skins.
for titles, as said before, im not a grinder, and the only things i have there are the tyrian and canthan protectors (soon to add the nightfall one)
for heroes and pets, hopefully we will get either a minipet of the hero we got the armor for, or a hero that is a decsendant of that hero. hopefully with special skills of some kind, for example, transforming into a bear for Jora's decendant.

I am quite sure an element of discovery will be added to ensure that the E-preen is at least delayed a little while. One thing I have thought of though, if all our characters are human in GW1, then if I start a Charr char in GW2... how the hell am I a decendant of Aerian Skybane......

ValaOfTheFens
I'm hoping for something similar to bonus weapons. I dunno what else would be fair and practical. Maybe a title. Something like "Decendent of the Tyrian Necromancer Hero Vala Of The Fens". It wouldn't do anything but it would look cool. *lol* HoM should have more than one reward. It takes alot of grind and money to make a decent HoM and it would suck to get something dumb. I bet ANet wishes they never made HoM. At least they're honest enough to tell us that that don't know what they're doing with it.
cellardweller
What I want:
1) Cosmetic upgrades
2) Repeatable (similar to /bonus)
3) Available account wide
I expect 1) only.

the GW1 name is reserved for you to prevent someone else from grabbing a popular name.
the graphics engine/artwork will be (as stated) different so no to the armor as it wont translate and what good will level 20 starter armor do you in a level 100+ game?
they stated everything in the HOM will unlock a skill/minipet/weapon/etc in GW2 but it will not give any playing advantage over a new player.and it is character based so no you will have to choose a single gw2 character to receive the inheritance for each GW1 HOM

But that means I'd have to be able to put it in the HoM in GW1.

wakefield
I dont want anything. It should be a fresh start.
Meat Axe
Personally, I don't really care what I get from the HoM in GW2. I've been filling my HoM simply because I enjoy it, and it gives me something to keep playing for. The things my character will inherit will just be a bonus. Anyway, what I expect would be the titles to directly translate, and possibly the minipets as well. Otherwise, I'd expect unique skins, nice unique hairstyles, and other purely cosmetic things.
The one thing I'm worried about is the fact that you can only display a certain number of things in each monument. I hope they don't decide that only the monuments you have on display will translate into something in GW2. I doubt they will, since you can't rearrange the monuments to your satisfaction at the moment, but the fact that there's a huge difference between the number of monuments for the armour one, depending on which class you choose, makes me wonder how they will handle that, if at all.

Jongo River
I was supportive of the original idea of GW2 being a "fresh start". The HoM concept sullies that - it panders to the "I want to keep my stuff" crowd, and will end up just annoying everyone for not giving enough or giving too much.
I therefore expect to dislike anything the HoM does, unless it's very well hidden. I really don't want to see people showing off their GW1 junk, as soon as GW2 goes live. Since there has to be a HoM, I'd like it to only enable the display of items while inside it. I'd also like the HoM to not even appear in my game unless I specifically want it (i.e. not forced to keep going there, like in GW:EN).

HoM would be a pretty lame investment for anyone if all of our GW2 rewards became things that anyone could get later in the game. I do believe that the point of transferring something from GW to GW2 was to have unique proof that you had ancestors. I certainly don't see it as giving us items that anyone without GW can get.
"My ancestors are gods, so I have 60 moar golds than j00!"
Ouch.
