1. You should try and reach Anet...not NCSOFT...NCSOFT cannot change the content of Guild Wars as they only own Anet, who runs the game.

2. If I were you I would be hoping that they arent reading this because of the overwhelming amount of intelligent arguments against it and the equally overwhelming amount of unintelligent arguments for it.

/signed for 2 handed swords, 2 handed axes, one handed hammers/maces and crossbows (ever notice the staff attack animation? it looks like crossbow attack - setup, aim and fire).

1-hand hammer lol, sorry, but thats pretty creepy actually (sorry for any spelling mistakes, only got 3 hours of sleep). Take a whole mob of bunny thumpers, give them a faster hammer with Flurry or Frenzy and knockdown/interrupt skills. Glad I dont use magic users in PvP

funny picture you paint. hehe

No, obviously new skills and adjustments would be made. One handed hammers or maces wouldn't have the same power as a two handed. That should go without saying, nor would two handed swords and axes have the same speed as their one handed versions.

Why do it then? Options and variety for more fun.

Edit: Why is it all good ideas for adding fun always shot down for reasons of PvP? Just not make these items available in PvP if it's a concern. Simple fix, tag items and skills that are not "balanced" for PvP use and they'll not be available to use in that game play. /shrug

A simple damage and speed adjustment wouldnot be enough. Some skills would need to be adjusted for they are designed around the speed and damage of the weapon.

Hammer warriors have reduced defense (less health and armor from shield) because they can do KD. Swords have bleeding, deep wound and hamstring.

There are a lot to consider.

My opinion on upscaled versions of current weapons is that they should go into another category entirely. In order for that to work, either a new profession would need to be made, or some form of prestige classes would need to be added.
Example: a level 20 warrior can venture to some far-away place where she can train herself to become a berserker. A berserker gains the ability to use two-handed swords and axes well (well, as in how a warrior can use a sword but a monk without a warrior secondary can't use it properly).
Entirely new lines of skills would have to be added for these weapons.

In any case, it's a lot of work, and I don't see it happening for at least another chapter.

They could make a sword-hammer. A swammer.
