Ask him if the current stat variety on ascended gear is going to continue to be the "gold standard" for gear while other distributions continue to be second rate/alternative/non supported or downright prestige (I am looking at you Passiflora Jewelery)

[Khrushchev]

Update on Legendary Precursor Scavenger Hunt, or other means of attaining them that don't include massive amounts of RNG or 500 gold?

I second culling, it seems to have gotten substantially worse since the most recent update, not being able to see single enemies attacking Sentries.

Can we get a specific example of what a Guild Event might entail, "Guild Rush" isn't particularly descriptive.

How do they feel about the increased amount of people asking for Warriors, Guardians, and Mesmers ONLY for dungeon runs?

When will my Flesh Golem (and other minions) cease often standing still during fights, contemplating the meaning of un-life?

With increased rewards throughout all of the world, they also increased drops from Cursed Shore, etc. Do they plan to increase drops more for other zones, since Cursed Shore is still the best place to farm, given it's increased rates?

Why is Charr tail clipping with nearly every armor set not the absolute top of the list in priorities?

What is his favorite type of sandwich?

On-topic:

Ask him if he can confirm the rumors about an expansion releasing in 2013.

[Waar Kijk Je Naar]

When will the "abysmal" loot get fixed?

Any update on AoE looting?

[Nabuko Darayon]

1. Are they working on a new set of Legendaries or is that just on the plan list for far future?
2. Will they be adding an option to trade between players rather then using the "auction system" of Trading Post in the future?
3. Is ANet even considering reworking Cantha content for a future expansion, as rumors are circling that NCSoft forbid any Asian reference in GW2?
4. Is ANet thinking about any way to stop these market manipulators from ruining economy,maybe by adding a fixed price on some of the items?

[Mister_Smiley]

Why didn't some armor or town clothing make it into the game, such as the Queens outfit or the armor that countess Anise wears. Will they be added later?

Any plains to add any new areas soon?

1) They've talked about the open world loot system several times in the past and even made an attempt to "fix" it (or so they've said). Yet, many players are still entirely dissatisfied. There is no real chance of something "amazing" dropping, no real sense that you're earning anything important. So instead, you're stuck grinding dungeons for tokens, etc in order to purchase gear. I think many will agree with me when it makes the game feel very stale, you always know what you're going to get, there's no sense of excitement or surprise in the game after awhile. Do they feel that this system is how they would like to continue forth or are they still actively trying to address the issue of open world loot to give people some sense of excitement while boss hunting or running the events, etc?

I will probably have more questions I will edit into this post over time.

[Kor]

When it's available, will the Ascended Gear available in WvWvW be purchasable through a new currency, a combination of current currencies(karma, laurels, badges, gold) and a new currency, or strictly by currencies already in the game?

[pbplaya89]

Can we get a slot on the hero screen for a minipet?

This is a good one, just a bit more detail of what would be happening would be great.

My questions:

1. Is there anything left, from initial release that players have not discovered yet? Not including new stuff coming with the Feb update...I mean like a hidden area, a cooly piece of Lore reference, etc.? I don't need a hint, just wondering if there is still more out there...

2. Will we see a new Legendary Great-sword named "The Bloody Blade of the Mighty Johanson"? One of the effects of this would have to be "When wielding this Legendary Blade, when you 'jump' in town, you shout "Yay, I got to swing a Sword! Now where's my sandwich?"(To prevent annoying spamming...can only be done once every 10 min) Forget the silly footprints...this would be a true Legen-...wait for it...-dary!

[kalendraf]

1. Approximately how soon can we expect new armor skins to be added?  Also, will the new armors help provide more diversity to overcome the problem with there being too many trenchcoats, too many long/huge skirts, etc.
2. Will there be some way to convert our ever-growing stacks of basic transmutation stones, such as a mystic forge recipe?
3. Are there any plans to make the personal story more compelling/rewarding to encourage people to finish it?  Compared to other aspects of the game, like dungeons or fractals, the rewards per time spent in the personal story is not worthwhile.
4.  Are there any plans to reduce/remove/modify the waypoint costs to help encourage players to visit/revisit outlying map areas?  For example, if the waypoints cost is to partly deter constant waypoint/map hopping, could the costs be modified with some kind of timer or cooldown period to make it free/less costly for infrequent users?

[Faowri]

1. Is there even an estimated date for when hinted non-combat projects like player housing and guild halls will be worked on/released?

2. Is there any chance of cross-regional server guesting ever being enabled?

[Zeus_CM]

1. When are they planning to add Guild Halls?
2. When will they add Polymock and other minigames in major cities?
3. When will they add new modes to pvp beside conquest like team deathmatch?
4. Are they planning on adding dueling?
5. Is the expasion coming this year?
6. Will we be able to purchase expansion with gems?

[Kenril]

I have one question for Mr Johanson :
- Why did you remove the first person view from the game during beta and when will you add it back ?

[Redhawk2007]

Do they intend to fix broken or poorly-designed class mechanics anytime soon? (no, I'm not talking about the projected aoe nerf which most people seem to oppose)

[Mongir]

Guild Missions: Being  a leader small to medium guild (70 members)  with 15-20 players on at prime time I am wondering how this going to effect our ability to  successfully complete guild missions and gain notoriety? We as guild love to be active and help out the community whenever its possible and this sounds like a great way but if it's too hard for a smaller guild to keep up with the large ones this is going be a terrible idea....

Guild Mission / Open World Groups: Has there been any improvement in being able to make large groups or otherwise called raids other then the commander ability which you can't even see who is in your  group?

WvW: Any thought been given to let large groups que at the same time for a specific map? Instead of individuals...

May add more later thanks Guru and Colin for the chance to ask questions!!!!!

I think question 6 will be a no.

[Ritualist]

1. Their plans for vertical gear progression, including expansion-gear.
2. Waypoint fees - any chance of this gold-sink being dumped completely?
3. Cross-data-center guesting?

Edited by Protoss, 15 February 2013 - 09:39 PM.

[AsgarZigel]

Why are they concentrating on completely new content like Karkas and Flame & Frost instead of following up on interesting things already in the game like the wizards tower?

[Xentin]

Will we ever get pvp dungeons?
When housing will come?
Will we get mounts?
When laurel system will be expanded?

[Aurawind]

Will the Right-Click Targeting Function ever be removed? Right Click should ONLY rotate camera like in EVERY other game including GW1.

[Winch]

1.Is it possible to add new daily chests for every dungeon, with specific weapon/armor skins  only  obtainable from said dungeons (like fractal weapons from fractal daily chest) - example:, Eternal Blade / eternal bow from Ascalonian catacombs daily chest, Obsidian Edge from Arah daily chest.

2.How about doing non-combat activites to earn some money / rewards based on time spent doing something (like doing jumping puzzles to get gold)? A dungeon can be 10 minutes long and easily net me 1g, while on the other hand a Jumping puzzle can be like 30 minutes long and I can't even get my WP fee back from the chest.

Edited by Winch, 15 February 2013 - 09:57 PM.

[StormDragonZ]

Here's a question:

- I am someone who played GW1 for a long time and still regularly play the game just because I actually enjoy it that much. However, I've recently been on the edge with GW2. Sure, I want to play it, but what's keeping me from actually doing so is, to put it simply, it seems like nothing different than any other MMO games out there. Sure, the type of setting may be different, but what exactly does GW2 have to offer that isn't already bloated out of proportion in other games?

[asbasb]

Q: Are you happy with the way the community has developed in number and spirit since the game's release?

[Doctor Overlord]

Q1:  Back in development, there was mention about an "Extended Experience" functionality which included things like a mobile app.   Has this been put on the backburner or is there a chance we'll see anything this year on it?

Q2:  What brand of toothpaste do you use to attain that blinding smile?

Edited by Doctor Overlord, 15 February 2013 - 10:27 PM.

[BrettM]

Why, unlike GW1, is it impossible to make the death camera stop spinning around your corpse like a vulture for more than a couple of seconds? It would be nice to be able to comfortably watch what's going on around you when you have to wait more than a short time for a rez. Is there some good reason why the death camera was set up this way, continually snatching control of the view away from the player? I find this very annoying. Rude, even.
