For most of the GW community, it will take more time to get exotic armor than grind reputation points.
Also, it's in Anet's best interest to allow GWEN skins to be unlocked in PvP. It, in theory, gives PvPers more time to actually GvG, which will improve play quality.

How about making AB maps rotate at random? The current system has them permanently stuck on Ancestral and Grenz
Seems like it would be easy to implement.

How is that not the same thing?

They have never put out content that regularly. I remember a time when it was even a struggle to get regular balance updates. As for the sequel vs more chapters debate, that was over a long time ago.

I'd like to iterate that point.
Halloween stuff is nice and all, but putting a lot of effort into content that's experienced for a few days is a waste when you could use that time to add to content experienced all the time.
As for henchmen stuff, can we please have bars the henchmen will use well? We don't want a MoP caller for a necro because it's what a human necro might run. We don't want Bunny Thumpers either.
Either that, or just give us 7 heroes and reduce the difficulty of the game again.

Does this mean there will be another Monthly Tourney for Hero Battles? or will it be removed before that?

I have a simple equation for the live team: 7 heroes = WIN
Improoved henchmen in PvE, that's the best you can do for us?
I'm not even going to comment in detail on the XTH situation and the halloween idea etc., but I quote David Brent from The Office UK: 'I hate waisted talent!'
As a fan of this great comedy soap, I'm already looking forward to the next episode of 'The Office: Arenanet'.
Thanks for the update Regina!

PvP players have much further to go to get there hands on exotic weapons and armor skins. You can grind a r5 reputation title in a day, but grinding the reward points to unlock the exotic tiers for pvp armor and weapons can take months. Thats even before you have to shell out for the armor piece or weapon itself.
So to sum up, sure you can say that a PvP player with 10000 reward points has it easy, but he/she can never leave the battle isles. For PvE players, yeah you have to have that 1 mil+ gold in your storage to afford fissure armor, but you can also travel wherever you want in the beautiful guild wars lands.
There is always a compromise!

You are aware that that's been implemented in the past, right?

I never understood on a basic level why Anet didn't allow a party of 7 heroes to begin with. It almost seems like it was meant to to begin with.
Frankly, I understand that using 7 heroes. Would make the game a he'll of a lot easier, but it's not like there's going to be any H/H speedclears popping up. The worst that could possibly happen is that it just makes the game in PvE easier for those who want it. Hell, put a damn pricetag on it for all I care (just not a ridiculous one like storage panes).
I personally think that of all things would bring me back to this game, since the fun of creating team builds would be REALLY fun for me.

@Regina and Linsey:
Lina, in EotN, needs her bar deleted entirely. It's the worst bar imaginable for a PvE hench healer. Every spell on there has a specific effect that needs to be understood to be used properly, and Lina doesn't understand squat.
ALL Prot Hench, everywhere, need: Prot Spirit or Spirit Bond (or both) and Aegis and a cond remover and a hex remover.
The one place we really needs these skills (EotN) and Lina lets us down with RoF, SoA, SH and no Aegis.
RoF is TERRIBLE for a hench
SoA is TERRIBLE for a hench
SH is TERRIBLE for a hench
Guardian is pretty bad there too.
Thanks for looking into it though, much appreciated.
