does GW2 run on ipad
Nope.

(Guild Wars 2 runs on a completely different type of processor archaetype which is more optimized for power over battery life. It would be impossible to play GW2 on any mobile device.)
Even if you were to use a Remote Connection, guild wars 2 will still not function because there is a mouse rotation issue that causes it to consistently look up in the sky.
Highly doubtful. However, you could get some kind of VNC program/app and run GW2 on your computer and do basic stuff like log in and use the trading post.

I think you mean the companion app? I think it’s still under the development phrase.
Actually I have another question to add to that, has anyone tried to run Guild Wars 2 on windows 8 Pro Tablets like surface pro and Samsung Ativ Pro? If so, how convenient is it with the touch functions and all?

It runs fine, but the touch doesn’t work. Using the touch screen to move the camera will cause it to spin sporadically. In addition, it’s not full duplex since that is patented by Apple. It’s impossible to use the mouse scroll and the keyboard keys at the same time.
Basically Guild Wars 2 is unplayable on any mobile device, unless you use a mouse
It was never announced that GW2 would be playable on an iPad. Tablets aren’t anywhere near close enough to being able to play fully fledged MMO’s.
What Anet did advertise was a companion application. The idea has since been scrapped though with the release of API’s to the general public – so it is now possible for players to create their own Apps to provide extended functionality outside of the game.
The standard client for GW2 on an ipad would make it overheat if it got into any kind of combat. It’s not designed to take on that much ‘heat’ (excuse the pun).
There’s a reason big- kitten heatsinks and fans, even water-cooling is used on decent gaming rigs.

Chase, that’s a shame, and by the way the same problem happened with Wacom tablet on pen mode.
FlamingFoxx, I wonder if there’s an android LFG app or an app that can check items on trading post.

No it wouldnt, because it would be problematic to get an x86 application to run on an Arm cpu in the first place.
You can probably run GW2 just fine on a Win8 tablet (not the kittenty RT of course). There is a difference between toys (iPad, iPhone) and toys (every other hardware in the world).
