When GW2 rolls around lets say HoM completely fails. Like the compensasion in GW2 for all the shit u saved in your HoM is not considered even partly worthwile, or even better there is no compensasion and anet gives some BS about complications and drops the whole HoM thing in GW2. What would you do?
I'm gonna make a youtube video showing me starting a fire and burning my original GW+ expansions (with CD's and all) with a ridiculous rant along with it too. maybe it'll find its way onto TV ^^
If HoM failed?

Everyone already knows the reward with be worthless, a title or mini pet or the equivilent of the pre-sale weapons.
If you expect to get some major reward for it then you are setting yourself up for a major dissapointment.

The day I realize I play Guild Wars for something less than amusement or a diversion, I'll quit.
I never cared about benefits in GW2, it's a whole different game that we know little about. If it wasn't a unique start, it would just feel like more of the same. My reward will be that newbie feeling everyone has nostalgia over, when the game was fun.

Yeah, I just play for fun, if I get a few titles from it, well Cool Beans. Though once I've done all the quests, missions, elite areas, HM, Vanquishing, PvP a bit in all the arenas, etc, {probably be a few years from now}, I'll consider titles. Of course the PvE "title" skills are nice, but not necessary for all of the above.

I'm curious to know what ANet actually considers "max" monuments, ie. how many minis do I have to dedicate to one character's HoM to have a "full" mini monument? My theory is that you only have to add until the point of overflow (when 'Rearrange' becomes an option). Surely they can't expect one of EVERY mini (save for the rare ones) there.
Likewise, I'm really wondering what ANet considers max on the titles & accomplishments monument (Monument of Honor). I hope they aren't expecting everyone to obtain max Kind Of A Big Deal title because, quite frankly, I don't know if I have that in me. I'll get close, yeah, but some of those grind titles may not reach conclusion.
Is ANet expecting everyone to max out their HoM anyways, or do you think they may simply reward all of those who fairly significantly work on it? As the reward isn't going to be all that advantageous anyways, I'm hoping the latter. This is an issue that I don't think has been clarified as of yet, but it's something I'd really like to know.

For some people it isn't considered grind but fun. I know that. I also know some people who aren't doing it for fun. They're grinding titles (even though they hate it) just to see what they will receive in GW2. Those are the people I will laugh at.

Surprised nobody specifically said: whine. That's all people would ever do on the forums after such a thing happens.
As for me? Probably wouldn't care, as i don't look at the HoM and think "omg must buy this destroyer wep now to get more titles in GW2!!"

Don't underestimate "minipet" stuff (looks at kanaxai mini prices, even quite common ones like kunawang can fetch 100k+ gold)
Pre-order weapons are quite a boon too (i.e. perma presear characters having access to max weapons, tons of free and close to perfect weapons for heroes ...) Also, old preorder weapons hard weird (and kinda abuseable) stats. Lowend weapon with weird stats can be huge thing ... imagine what if -50 focus was preorder item.
Ofc, theese propably would not apply to GW2, but even innocently looking stuff can be considered major reward if you think it over.

what would be the point if you would get some really awesome bonus or something? i mean, mostly rich ppl only can fill the hall completely imo... also if you expect some uber pwning bonus, would it have any sense to start "overpowered"? while others will be "behind"... gamuld be boring then :P i personaly hope that hall will not have any reall effect on gameplay in GW2... tho i pretty much filled it
*dont flame, is just my personal opinion*
so my answer is: i'll just say gg Anet

I'm not expecting any 'compensation' in GW2. I fill my HoM because it gives me something to do when nothing else is going on.

Am I the only one who doesn't think that the Hall of Monuments is a massive disappointment, a "failure," or some huge scandal worthy of burning your GW disks on YouTube over?
Yes, its a likelihood that the HoM rewards in GW2 will probably be a sort of lame consolation prize. Yes, when it happens, there will undoubtedly be ranting and raving and "OMG ANET SUX!!11 I QUIT" threads.
I know I won't be disappointed. Why? Because I'm going to buy GW2 because I want to play it, not because I want my HoM rewards.
I think more than just a handful of people on a video game forum would have to care, for that to happen.

I'd have to agree with a lot of posters here; I'm not filling up my HoM for any reason other than that it's fun to do. Anything that requires me to do any more work than I would normally choose to do, I'm not doing.
Besides, I have five characters, and I'll probably have about three more by the time GW2 comes out. There is NO way I'm filling out eight HoM's, and I'm not about to start picking favorites either. If they merge the HoM across the account, then we'll talk.
More than likely I'll snicker a little at those who grinded their way to a full HoM to get elite, high end items in GW2 and the OP's situation arises, then continue playing.

I don't know about you, but the HoM gives me the urge to complete titles and to improve my monuments just that i can see the statues of the 3 campigns or the lightbringer, sunspear statues. I realy like the HoM in it's present form and i'm sure the compansations in GW2 will suck but i don't care !!!

Stop setting yourself up to be let down. The accomplishments are pretty much useless (except for looking purdy) in GW1; what makes you think they'll be anything different in GW2?

it is a total seperate game. they didn't have to give us anything for playing gw1. I hate how some people are only playing now not for fun and just to get unlocks for gw2. if they see it asa waste of time, its there fault. i dont care what we get from gw2, its still something good

Someone said it best before, it's similar to pre-order content. It'll be a nice little novelty but nothing huge. If you're filling up the HoM just to unlock things in GW2, I'd stop right now.

It's not the end of the world... There are really great things about starting from the ground-up. Enjoy them.

I'll play regardless, and pray that these what if threads go away by then.

i will not care in any way, shape, or form. starting over new with everyone else is the fun part imo.

Well clearly HOM is entirely optional for people anyway so I can't see where it would fail to begin with. Though I can definitely hear the complaints from some saying that they worked so hard on their titles and all they got was "this and that" for their efforts. The calm before the storm.
Skyy High
You might want to at least put the tapestries up. You'll prolly need a completed hall in order to save your character's name for GW2.
And who the heck buys tapestries anymore?
