Microing the crap out of heroes in GvG and flawlessing good guilds in GvG, then getting called heroway noobs in all chat.
-not waiting for 8 players to go, and just getting 5 players while i micro 3 heroes and winning.
Hero battles
-Not getting bored when I'm the only one on.
Team Arenas
-Farming glad points with decent players, now the only way to get that rank is by syncing.
- When there was some fun PvP other than tombs or GvG, Codex is bloody boring.
When you could actually get to halls without a skip.
When there wasn't a completely unplayable dead hour for Alliance Battles
When there were people you could play with in each mission, instead of playing alone with 7 heroes.
When people you actually heard of winning the mat, and not random bad players who get good with dervishes, because all of the decent players quit.
Tell me what you miss.

I'm pretty sure if you beat a guild and their response was "heroway noobs" that they weren't a 'good' guild.

I miss pretty much everything about the game before NF and EotN.
Silent Sh0tt
unicorn, u pretty much covered all I miss bro lol
Elnino
Wow, I miss pretty much everything you have listed except the first. I do miss holding halls with heroway though 
TSS
when having a perfect weapon was cool, not something you got with a good requirement and bought the mods for.
I miss when Euros used to hold HoH constantly and everyone played on Euro servers and got stuck in Euro servers because they switched to gain favor.
Farming the FoW Forest with my R/Me, even though it wasn't as profitable as I expected.
Powerleveling lazy people outside of Droks.
When greens were valuable.
TA. RIP
RA not being full of people who would leave if they didn't synch.
RA being full of noobs who would leave if they did have a monk.
RA not being full of monks.
AB. RIP
The Elemental Sword craze.
Old Shadow Form.
The days when teamwork meant something other than discordway, mesway, ritway, physway, etc.

Cale Roughstar
I miss full HA runs. This skipping from Burial Mounds every time is teh sux.
X-Plosiv
I missed that time when people would click Log Out instead talking on board how that game is dead, though they are still on board that is about that game. Oh, you paradox, you are so random!

I miss the old UWSC, it was so easy and yet so much fun.

..Like you , i swear i could PvE some areas with full humans and PvP with heroes ( totally the opposite of today's situation) instead of waiting hours in HA id1 ...I also miss pre-eotn situation , when people didn't play for titles only..
shadeblade47
i miss when weapons were worth money based on how cool they looked, as opposed to how overfarmed they are
i miss when i didnt need to go to kamadan to feel like i wasnt the only person on the game
i miss when normal mode was hard
i miss when ventrilo was required for DoA and The Deep
i miss when 1 hour of recruiting yielded 10 new members to your guild
i miss playing with all my friends who now no longer play
and most of all i miss when i was brand new and had no clue how to do anything and assumed that i would never do everything.

hmm, hard one, I miss a lot. My most missed ones I guess are:
.When my sin was constantly rejected from pugs because they all thought sins were suicidal...good times
.when I made a monk due to my sin being rejected and pugged lots of missions to see lots of sins were suicidal and rejecting them thereafter...
.Pre Hard Mode when elementalists still felt like gods in pve and could nuke, not tickle enemies.
.When there were still heroes allowed in the Zaishen challenges to make easy balth factions
.when greens were worth a lot.
.when you were forced to pug. I hated it then but got to admit there were some funny times and also great times like when you were last one standing everyone would cheer/spam "you can do it!" or "RUNNN!!!!" and when you do manage to save the mission that feeling you get like you saved the day or something.
.Lots of others but I don't have time to list them all, I remember there was a nostalgia thread that had most of what I missed on.

I miss A/E Sliver Armor boss farming. Ganking bosses for their greens.
Shadow form UP! Gather as many red dots as you can! Step to boss and turn on the SLIVER!! After the boss explodes, pick up your loot before Shadow Form wears off and the 100 red dots around you blast you to bits!
I think the Dunkoro and Talkhora on 8 or more of my characters all had Scar Eaters. I farmed that darn goat so much.
I wish there was still a good green farming build like that. *sigh* I miss it.

As said by many before, I miss the fun this game used to bring me when it first came out. Literally waiting to get out of school so I could log on and play with my regular group (which I am the very last of). The anticipation would nearly drive me crazy every day lol.
Can't be missing it that much then.

When everybody used to farm, do missions and all kinds of stuff instead of powertrading.
When you needed 8 people to complete the last missions of prophecies.
When Tomb of Primeval kings was full of rangers crazy to go barrage + pet.
When warriors where tanks.
When an elité armor was realy elité armor.
When a titan gem was worth 10k.
Good old days. Hope GW2 will bring back the great game community we once had toghether again, one last time.

Taking my first character, a proph Necro through and setting up a little checklist to make sure that I did EVERY quest from pre through the desert.
Come to think of it, maybe I'll clean up the remaining factions and NF quests on him....

I can not immerse into game as like i was able to do first 2-3 years.
Thats what i miss the most.
There is a point where you just get fed up with this game. Didn't believe in this until i experienced it.

Stolen Souls
-Soloing stuff on my War, back before HM came out, that nobody would probably even bother with today (Grenth's Footprint/Vermin)
-When Wars were THE runners (with SB monks, or some rangers, doing a few other small runs)
-Standing in an outpost on my monk and getting raged at for being afk/not accepting random party invites.
-Getting a nice drop and actually feeling excited about it.
-The excited feeling I used to get when the "A new build of Guild Wars is Available..." message used to start spamming, especially just as an event was starting.
-Owning Tombs with a B/P team.
-Waiting for the American PvPers to take halls so I could finally go to FoW with my friends.

I miss...
The very first day I played. Pre searing is what sold me on this game.
Seeing the shiverpeaks for the first time.
Going into Sorrows Furnace for the first time.
Factions release day
Comming out of the canthan projects and finally seeing some foliage.
Seeing the Jade sea for the first time. The Jade sea was so beautiful.
My GvG days before NF release <----- really miss this one a lot
When Kaineng center was the place to trade instead of spamadan, the shithole of istan

That or when Ascalon ID1 was the place to trade rare shit...
Idk why but trading there just felt better than kamadan, i loved that place. That was where I bought my first rare mini and my first time that I made some good money.
Im such a nostalgic fk about everything and I hate it cause it always makes me so frickin sad.
zero design
I miss the day where i was one of the first to run Shadow Form(no perma, so i had to be quick, meteor shower ftw!
) in UW before perma sins reigned down on ToA.

Having 3+ districts in every single outpost was amazing.
I remember having to run about 15+ guildies through Elona's Reach, which was the bane of the desert at that time. Funny given how easy it is once you learn the patrols and best path to take.
Wiping in FoW and still having fun each time.
White Mantle farming.

If you can say 'farm' about a PvP format, there's something VERY wrong with that PvP format.
Nexus Icon
I miss...
Unlimited minions.
Playing with other people instead of heroes & henchies.
Grouping up to get the the extra skillpoints after reaching 20 in Prophecies.
When Tomb of the Primeval Kings was the entry for Halls.
Epic journeys with 8-person groups going from Beacon's Perch to Droknar's Forge.
Killing giants for their boots in Riverside and 55-ing the Tengu Twin Serpent Lakes prior to the introduction of Mesmer mobs.
Oh yeah, and having to capture skills as the boss was using them rather than from their corpse.
And the boss in the Northern Shiverpeaks that used to have Skull Crack, making it the earliest Elite Skill you could capture.

Man o man...I love the reminiscing threads on anniversary day:
- I miss having to group in Thunderhead Keep (and it subsequently being full) because it was the hardest mission in GW
- I miss Piken Square being full of traders
- I miss desert runs
- I miss the first time I finally got out of seared Ascalon and thought "Oh shit, snow!"
- I miss the first time I finally got out of urban Cantha and thought "Oh shit, grass!"
Happy Anniversary everybody!
