I think you answered your own question

As much as it is an animated character, scantily dressed women sell. Picture of Eve is cool though.

The first one had I think 2 variants variants with 2 characters (one on each side). Mhenlo was one and there was a warrior on the other if I remember correctly. They had the females on the opposite side. I have the CE so don't have one of those handy but remember seeing them in the store.

They attract more customers. to men they are hot and mostly men buy games and to the women they are females so they find it cool that females get noticed. or they find it hot too. either way keep the hot girls, why complain?

If they had violent pictures on the boxes, no kid would be able to get them because their parents wouldn't buy it, thinking it was a violent, blood spattering game.

Lets face it, girls are just more pleasant to look at. Whether they're real or animated. Hence the reason for them being on the cover.

Guild Wars: Mhenlo, Warrior on cover of some boxes

Factions: Two girls. Could of had a male ritualist...

Nightfall: Unique as it's the only Chapter with the Villian as the centerpiece. Villian could have been male, but since her ancestor was male, I guess they decided to make Varesh female.

GW:EN: Am I the only one noticing that Jora's breasts are getting bigger with each revised concept art?

Maybe somebody could post all the Jora concept art to compare....

But, yeah, I'm surprised Gwen is not on the cover, especially since she's the focus of the Video.

I'm actually one of the few who liked the original art, although I must admit, the latest version is pretty nice...

I think it will catch the eye of someone passing by the shelf!

I remember Prophecies had Eve on one side and a warrior on the other with armor that isn't possible to obtain...

As an aside, I guess ANet realised that 2 bowls over her nipples didn't make a good bra.

I think it's more like :
GW propheties - You, helped by lots of people who don't get enough attention to be "main"
GW factions - Togo, Mhenlo and maybe Nika (Vizu is her ancester, you only see her once)
GW Nightfall - Kormir
