Arrows hit where?
Endo13
I've been trying to find information on this, and have been unsuccessful. What I'm trying to find out is which armor piece arrows are most likely to hit. And also, which armor piece is most likely to be hit by the fire damage from Ignite Arrows.

Unless someone else has already done it, it sounds like you'll be scrimin with your buddies alot to find that one out.

From http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Armor:
Each body location has a certain probability to be struck by damage. As crafting material requirements (from the same crafter) for armors of different body locations always have a fixed ratio, rumor has it that this ratio also correspond to the relative probabilities of each body location being struck by damage.
The five body locations and their "crafting material percentages" are:
* Head - 12.5% (1/8)
* Chest - 37.5% (3/8)
* Hands - 12.5% (1/8)
* Legs - 25% (2/8)
* Feet - 12.5% (1/8)
Those numbers change slightly depending on your elevation relative to your target. Nonprojectile attacks always hit the chest.

Most hits are randomised by percentage. Probabilities: head, hands, and feet are 1/8th each , legs are 28ths, chest is 3/8ths
Some skills have a set hit location though: so concussing shot, meteor, and decapitate will hit the head, body blow will hit the chest, most earth magic will hit the feet, etc.
I do think the type of bow affects hit location too though; flatbow has higher probability of hitting head due to higher arc of fire.

Two questions, one answer: the chest 
Height above target skews from feet toward head, and vice versa for down below, but in general, the chest is where the pincushion is.

I seem to remember reading somewhere that arrows couldn't hit Gloves but I do not know for sure if it is true. Wouldn't be hard to prove either way though with a quick testing session.
