So i quit GW after they implemented ascended neck pieces, i saw red and rage quit the game as making a game a bland daily checklist makes my stomache turn, but i did say ill give them a chance. So did they do anything in the right direction?

Did ANET add Guild halls?
Guild vs Guild?
Heroes ascent?
Some different game modes than hold 3 areas for points PvP?
Observer system in PvP?
Removed timelocked content?
At least player owned instances you can customize like they said?
Or at least fix the ranger issues so rangers can now keep up with other classes?

No

No, added more in there called Guild missions, more below
No
Ranger is still good and has had some problems fixed

Summary: Guild missions are timelocked but some are fun. Bounties can be tedious, treks are meh, rushes are fun, challenges are fun, puzzles are fun.

They added in custom servers and spectating for PvP, though most of the problems with pvp in terms of balance and things to do is still lacking. Though there are now dueling servers? Tournaments are now just ranked matches. One team vs another team, winner gets a special chest and their score gets better on the leaderboards (which they exist now)

Living story is cool. At the very least you should log in and knock out all the new living story stuff they add each chapter. We just finished Flame and Frost. Kinda neat story. Some new gear called Fused weapons you get from the cash shop chests, new cash shop weapon skins, a jetpack back pack skin, and these gauntlents you get from doing all the achivments. But since that chapter finished yesterday you can’t get anything from there except things you buy off of the TP (dyes, jetpack, mini). New chapter started. Some cool events here and there, 2 cool looking backpieces. Some interesting lore stuff. I got all of it within 4 hours so it didn’t take too long.

Living story? So basicly a couple of missions that are availible for a set time only? Something like the xmass stuff? Or more like main quest missions?

Rangers have had a little love, custom arenas are in beta, observer mode has been released.

There are no guild halls or any new PvP styles…not sure when you left but there may be another map. There have been some changes to WvW, the biggest of which is the elimination of culling.

You should probably check it out yourself, and see, rather than depend on other people, who might have different tastes.
