Hate is a pretty strong word, but...

As far as GW the game goes:
The city part of factions
Timed missions (most of them, anyway)
Missions where you have to have hero X in the party.
Lack of good trading system.
The message at the beginning of missions that says (basically) "You've got foreigners in your party! Do you want to continue?" I am the foreigner, dammit!!!!
As for GW player habits:
Cookie-cutter mentality, Ursan or otherwise. (Emo Wammo groups FTL)
Saying "Hello, Kamada District 1!" (when IN kamada D1, of course
) in local chat and getting absolutely ZERO replies.
People who don't understand the concept of applying tactics to the battle at hand, such as "PULL" "Block 'em on the corner" and (when things go bad) "RUN!!"
People who think that they can win a 1 on 10 battle in ABs, when they're the 1.
People who say "that skill bar sucks" and not suggest something better.
People who say "that skill bar sucks" and offer up utter crap as a suggestion for a 'better" build.
People who think that 1.5k = 1,005g
"dancing for tips"

Funniness aside, I hate the way males run, not counting the assassin, warriors and dervishes (huh, only the melee classes, interestingly enough...)

Titles that give benefits.
Nightfall's power creep.
Gimmicks.
Guild Wars WAS a PvP game, and still is.
The best part of the game is PvP. Experience-wise anyway.

Oh, and yeah the sins running is cool, but do you remember the PvP Factions Preview event where sins did a roll every 4th step? Now that was ridiculous.

But, did you know ToPK was actually HA before it got changed into UW2?
Did you know that the desert missions were based on HoH objectives?
Heck, PvE-only skills are mainly a bandaid for those who cried about PvP skill balances effecting PvP after the Nightfall power creep.
And I like to call PvE the "preliminaries".
Beat that, and move onto PvP and have more fun than you ever had, but the reason the whole "Guild Wars isn't a PvP game" thing is because (in my opinion), it's harder to get into PvP.
Think of Sway, and other gimmicks like Ursan, it's a double-edged blade.
It's good for: Getting you through to a higher playing ground (Rank) and easing your way through the PvE side.
It's bad for: Newbies who want to learn to play real builds straight on, which they will have problems finding: Balanced PuGs (Please note - not everyone has friends who play HA either because of all the Sways, or because they play too much PvE) and will also have trouble taking out the Sways because they don't have the experience to combat it.
But for Ursan, you need to have a high rank (Also slightly a problem with Sway, rank 10++ Sway lolol) to be able to join PuGs. And not everyone has the time on their hands to grindgrindgrind.
I found finding a non-Ursan guild quite hard to be honest.

Grind wars due to pve only skills, and their potency being related to titles.
£$£$£ Titles (party, sweet tooth and to a lesser extent drunkard).
Thats about it really, Ive got nothing against other players tbh at their worst I still just find them amusing.

Ursan Blessing - I've spent 2.5 years not playing a warrior, and I don't want my ele/rit/mesmer/nec/etc to become one just so I can do FoW/UW, etc.
laziness amoung players - Everyone just wants runs everywhere, and older players are pushing new players to do this(really hate that). If actually playing their characters(or seeing others play theirs) is so distasteful to people, why do they still play the game?
devaluing (sp?) of rare items - Hard Mode and EotN made a lot of the rarest items in the game quite common, leaving very few items that are actually rare. Most of the skins I like are now close to the common end of the spectrum. I still like and use them, but hate they were intentionally turned into common items.
I see other things listed here that do bug me, many of those being the common annoyances that all of us hate (scammers, elitist/stubborn newbs, lag).

Consumables. I think I really hate consumables more than any other aspect of the game. They are a crutch for bad players and it's impossible to PUG nowadays unless you bring a conset.
Want to clear FOW? Impossible without a conset. Kicked from pug unless you show a set.
Want to clear UW? Impossible without a conset. Kicked from pug unless you show a set.
Want to explore DOA? Impossible without a conset. Kicked from pug unless you show a set.
Want to Vanquish an area? Fine. Bring a conset and powerstones. Impossible to finish otherwise.
Funny thing is, I've been able to do all these things without consumables. Guess what. They aren't impossible but convincing the average pug that they aren't needed is the impossible task.

I hate the idea we are almost forced to concentrate on one character.
10 Different Professions= 10 Different Halls. Many character based titles. Wisdom maxed on each character would be highly ridiculous and very near impossible. As would treasure hunter. And many others. A full set of minipets in each characters hall? Daft. I find myself having to just fill ONE characters hall whilst the other load are practically empty save a few elite armour sets. Then I wonder what the actual point would be of playing my ritualist when I could further my main (ranger).
Yet I repeat, theres 10 professions. Its just doesn't make much sense to me, and it niggles me as a major flaw in guild wars.
EDIT: 10 professions not 8, doh! Makes my point even stronger though

Besides the obvious, it's that quests in Factions/NF aren't all that useful. If there were some incentive, like.......something that keeps track of what quests i did and reward me for it....probably would end up being a title, but.....what else is there?

Ursan Blessing. It's removed any type of thought from pve.
Inscriptions. Made Greens worthless. Made gold items worthless.
Heroes - and the lack of incentive for partying with real players.

What irritates me aswell (not hate, I don't hate anything about GW to be honnest, exept when I was ally leader and got whisps 24/7) is when going to AB, and getting the following:
me: Gl & hf all!
other player: are you kurzick/luxon
me: no
other player: then stfu!
I can give other examples...
Guess that's what you get for being nice...

I hate the current state of the game and the fact that the developers have mostly abandoned ship to work on GW2. Oh and titles RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO that shit.

I'm about to a hypocrit, but atleast I'll admit it.
I hate these kinds of threads, where people pour their negativity all together, where people can hear everyone's hates and dislikes and we can all revel in this collection of complaints because no one has anything better to do than to come to guru to whine.

- Having a HoM for each character. Instead of one glorious monument to my time wasted, uh spent ingame, I instead have half a dozen half-assed ones becuase I have neither time nor inclination to grind titles and whatnot on all my chars.
- Monks in FoW armour, with a ninja mask and chaos gloves. (plz dun flame me)
- Timed missions in Factions.
- Ruins of Surmia.
- Trading - lack of a trade house, trade spam, not enough room to describe items in the party search window, timewasters, low-ballers and scammers.
- The neverending stream of people in Foibles Fair spamming "WHO KNOWS HOW 2 GET BEAR? CAN SUM1 HELP ME GET BEAR? NEED HELP WIV BEAR! LFG CHARM BEAR!!!1!". I dunno why this annoys me, it just does.
- Horrid people full of their own self-importance clogging up my chat window in outposts. Especially spelling and grammar nazis. If you can't accept that not everyone can spel gud, people will abbreviate, and *gasp* some people might not have English as a first language, then the internet is not for you. I also dislike excessive LOL TXT SPK. Hooray for being contrary!
- Most of the community. Hate (even dislike) is the wrong word, but as a casual player, a lot of the QQing about things ranging from the economy to skill nerfs to ZOMG TEH EVIL URSAN to PvP 'elitists' vs PvE 'carebears' is utterly lost on me. Apparently the sky is falling, always has been, and always will. Oh noes.
*exhales* Whew! I feel better now!
EDIT: People whining about people whining.

~BODY BLOCK CONFUSION~
UGGGH!
anyone who has played the game knows what this is and how irritating it is to find out 2 min later that you made it halfway across the map but suddenly you are taking tons of damage and wondering WHY----when nothing is around you at all. or if you are running relics in HoH and the team is not paying attention to the runner until the runner asks, "hey, am i stuck?"...."oh yes you are all the way back at where you picked up the relic."
and then you press /stuck and before you can even TRY to maneuver around a mob, you have been smeared across the ground by 2-3 not-so-strong monsters or only ONE human player.
/stuck feature is great, but sometimes it does not kick in instantly. it would be even more of a breath of fresh air to know where your character is at all times, and if you are mobbed, you ALWAYS see yourself stuck in the mob---NOT IN THE CLEAR!
it would be neat to see this improved for gw2, and even perhaps some portion of gw1!
second irritating item~
having to sell to people instead of just dumping a mod/upgrade off at a trader. we have a rare material, rune, dye, scroll, regular material trader, and a merchant. but no weapon/shield/focus upgrade/inscription trader. sigh! the market is already messed up, why not just add this already? o.o :P
