Veterans, what keeps you playing Guild Wars?
For me its probably three things:
1. Playing with real people (I really do not like micro managing heros and enjoy the variety and learning that can happen with real people)
2. Challenging areas (meaningful success)
3. Game relevant rewards (game bounty or important skill augments)

Trying new farming builds.
Playing with old friends that I have played with for 3+ years.
Good, organized, balanced teams in HM and Elite Areas.
I still find lots to do in this game that I haven't done yet, despite playing so much for so long. I still really like the game, and find it is really nice to be able to play either for 15 minutes (to cap an elite or so) or 5+ hours :-)

absolute boredom between the time I have classes and the time I'm either with my girl or at a party. If it wasn't for those stretches of time where I have nothing to do I wouldn't play lol. That and I'm broke so I have to play something I don't have to keep paying for and WoW was too damn addictive.

I never play with real people
I am heroing anything
btw I quit this game since 5-6 months ago
just started to finish few things I have started
(like ghosts trying to finish their undone work)

Well, the only reason I still play, frankly, is because I am waiting for some other games to come out. There's one out in October, so it's not gonna be long anymore. Just helping a few people left and right...done getting titles and all that. Just 4 weeks to kill and then it's bye bye GW.

The magical update that will fix everything and bring back my friends who all quit playing long ago.
Also, leet titolz and phat lewtz.

Change some skills for Squig Herder so he can compare to Bright Wizard as RDPS class.
Oh, wait, wrong game. Then I guess nothing keeps me playing the dead game.

Helping out friends, watching so called lamers pwning top guilds (that is sooooooo funny I wish there was the all chat in observer mode tho), experimenting builds.

Socializing.
If I hadn't friends on Guild Wars, I would have quitted it long, long ago...

When I'm not working, going out, doing chores around the house, etc., GW is my relax time. Just working on a few titles here and there, and buying armors.
Breakfast Mc Rit
I'm too poor to buy a console and those expensive games they run.
MithranArkanere
Updates.
I'll stop playing GW when updates stop coming.

I'm pacing myself, Its a game not a race.
Only just finished prophesies with one character though I finished Factions ages ago
Nightfall still only part done and Eye of the North is almost finished.
Got a few titles mostly by accident
Have lots of HOM scrolls haven't used any as yet.
Been away from GW and returned 4 times so far plenty of other games to play, intend giving Spore a try soon and then look around for something to take me through to GW2 release.
If really really desperate will try pvp but I would hope a good friend would talk me out of it before I sank that low.

for me it's 4 things:
1. make a pve character and buy all kinds of sweet armor and weapon skins.
2. take him to pvp and own all the pvp characters with crappy skins.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!!!

Finishing my hall of monuments and pvp
Taurucis
Chatting with my guild and friends. Also, I am on the lookout for bouts of pure stupidity that are getting extremely common in Guild Wars...
xxx wraith xxx
being better then my friends :P
Hamsterstyle GYM
making kids cry...
Kurt
PvP, PvE couldn't intrest me for a long time. And I'm also not a person with multiple achievements on multiple PvE chars. Most of my chars are PvP chars.
Ariena Najea
My friends, guild, and alliance
Most of the time I'm on, I'm just chatting rather than actually playing the game

Hoping for that rare chance that Shawn Johnson plays GW and she joins our guild lol....no seriously, not much else once you've done it all except get moar titles.

I simply enjoy the game still. If i didn't i'd move on to something else.
Having a good guild helps of coursebut if i would still take a break if i ever got bored.
With all the other games i can mix in, work, other hobbies etc i doubt i will get bored of gw though.

Friends I've made on the game
Always having some little thing that is new and fresh brought to the game, be it from a skill buff or nerf that opens up other opportunities.
Titles
Being a guild leader
Having my g/f playing the game with me is definately a huge bonus as well. The fact that her and I can enjoy the game together is awesome.
Wanting to be uber rich in the game
Desire to build up perks for GW2

another thing that keeps me going is that Maria Ozawa plays or used to play guild wars.

EPO Bot
Guild, Master of the north title, giving monk hugs to desparate pugs.

The massive difference between PvP and PvE.
A few years ago, I was close to quitting, and then discovered HA. Then I got bored with that, and was close to quitting until I rediscovered PvE. Now I am back into PvP, with no signs of stopping.
Oh yeah, I <3 the people I play with. I can barely remember what GW was like before Myth, and now GIRL.

I have a lot of chars. I play regularly and my current goal is to get the Guardian and Protector titles for them all.

In order:
1. Friends.
2. Finding new things in the Lore.
3. Getting 10 characters, each with a different profession, through all 4 games.
4. New stuff like the monthly tonics, and things like M.O.X.
5. Filling my HoM/maxing Titles for the crappiest possible rewards in GW2.

gerlin
Mainly the awesomeness of the game . I right now actually play for the graphics and storyline. Also PvP and AB are always different. Every couple of months i do something for titles on my main.
Bowstring Badass
I play to laugh at izzy failing to balance. ([email protected] boon) and to laugh at useless melee heroes who get put in later so people would actually play PvE.
