Prediction 1
We will be disappointed (summoning stones, no new content, something else that's boring).
Prediction 2
We will have to pay for it (new costumes, tiny content that is only available for some ungodly amount of money, etc.)
Prediction 3
They will actually add something that improves the game/keeps the playerbase afloat for another 3 months, like last year's update (new content, new HoH/HA map, new skill update, something that isn't ridiculously blasé or asinine.)
My money is on Prediction 1 + half of Prediction 2 (costumes).
5th anniversary , what you think ?

I don't think there's been any "new" content since EotN Hard Mode came out (and that's using the term "new" loosely).
Other than that, I agree, except I think it's going to be an unholy blending of 1 and 2. That is, mostly disappointing crap that we have to pay for (See 4th Anniversary) and more summoning stones/tonics. Yay.
Mister_Smiley
Given that these two items where posted and the fact that they seam to already be hard working on the 5th year, i think we are going to get something extra special.
Two items posted are:
http://www.guildwars.com/shining_blade/
Also under View source you get these words "Mantle has discovered plans. Writing is on wall."
and
http://www.guildwars.com/white_mantle/
under Source you get "Go, Discover Contentment. Truth is obedience."
Anet wouldn't be doing all these for nothing...
But hey what do i know? Right? RIGHT?

SW Predictions...
1.) Saul D'Alessio Returns...

3.) New maps for PvP (either new ones or reworked maps from HB)
(#3 is a long shot, but possiable)

bracing for white mantle/shining blade elite area
GUILD WARS NEEDS HARDER AREAS!
The Deep and Urgoz have a great concept; the whole "rooms" thing. afaik, it's impossible to "Speed Clear" the factions elite areas, if A-net implemented an elite area that was not SC-able I would be in orgasm.

Especially since everything has been ridiculously overpriced...you can buy one of the costumes for the same price as a brand new GW:P account.

I agree but the problem isnt the area's its the skills and the consets. Also both urgoz and deep have been SC'd

I would also like to see a real skill update.

Or, how about being able to go to a HM version of pre?
Just think, no hench, no heroes, just you and at most one other person taking on that mesmer bull.
no stash, only what you carry in.

By the way, I forgot to mention that Linsey wrote on her Facebook about a week ago that she was typing NPC dialogue, and KillTenRats posted something about how the next update (the 5th anniversary one) should have content. So, I can understand why some people would get their hopes up.
Oh, on a random side note, the viral marketing thing for Obey/Dismantle can be pretty hilarious too.

How about henchies getting ascended so we can use in areas we are Forced to pug in? Mallyx is at the bottom of my to do list for this reason. For the record I do play with other people, often, but when I'm forced too, sorry, but zero fun

as i mentionned earlier I'd really like the first of a series of changes to build up the expectation for gw2. I dont want to think about it that much, I trust in Anet to surprise me with something amazing

And insert more drops.. give us tonic drops, let foe's even drop salvage kits et.c so now and than... it would give the game just that little bit more fun it deserve
Shemsu Anpw
Dropped kits would be kind of nice. People will always complain that anything is too much if it's free. Sure you could get anther account of GW but you still wont have the costume it's like the divine aura you paid for premium goodies.
10 for Divine Aura in the GW shop would have my money. That's how a lot of the MMO's make their money, it's to selling fashion/goodies/Eye candy to the masses. They should have had it earlier in it's lifespan though.
Now with that said some stuff does and will always seem too much in cash shops. It's always hard to manage creation vs profit vs target marketing area. As long as the shops don't contain crucial items its all good cause it's optional. Except storage all games get you on storage as crucial as it is it is always there in the cash shops. That irritates me.
I am hoping to be wowed on the 5th anniversary update. But I will be happy for something New that they put effort into. I appreciate all their work they do.

When I went to HoM the other day to take possession of my shiny new Rainbow Phoenix, I was mesmerised by this exchange, as I had never seen it occur before. I sat patiently and watched the entire exchange, and I must say it does look tastily interesting!

I am thinking there will be costumes, minis (duh) and stones probably.
I also think that this Mantle/Blade thing will have an impact, with possible new areas, maybe pvp like JQ/FA and also maybe faction points

I think they should make a Chibbi elite area where you run around and it's all cartoony and awesome and you can get a el chibbi gwen tonic from the end chest ^_^

EL Chibbi > ALL
imnotyourmother
my prediction,
they will add content that points to the development of GW2 to get community hype up.
they will add the 5th year minis and costumes for the 5th year anniversary .
Also there might be a "port Wine" added or "something Silver" or made of Wood"
These are the traditional things for the 5th anniversary:Wood, representing strength and a solidified relationship, and silverware, representing connectedness, are the traditional and modern gifts associated with your fifth wedding anniversary.
so something along them lines...

90% will be costumes/summoning_crap_stones
and nothing else. ( ç_ç )

Screw costumes, they should add some more super cool tonics that you can use in explorable areas!

Maybe big sneak peak into the world of GW2? Or possibly the release of GW2 beta/demo? Or possibly a contest to get the GW2 beta.
Who knows though...

Based on skill updates, the 5th anniversary will be 3-5 months late... and will still suck.
