I'd rather see a "back to the future" approach - a new game that takes the essence of GW1, but makes it feel more fluid and modern, and moves on with a new story. I have no particular desire to see a re-run of the GW1 story again - large parts of it weren't really _that_ good anyway.
But the instancing, that actually was a good idea. I don't think we really "got it" at the time - with all the MMOs floating around - but it's far easier to prevent combat from degenerating into all the lag, visual noise, etc we get from raid bosses now.
Last but not least... anything like this needs a business case. Adding a fresh coat of paint to GW1 is probably not going to recoup costs if you don't have something to sell to prospective players that they actually want to spend money on. If it doesn't look like it'll make money, I don't see NCSoft green-lighting it.
