Arranging the Interface
Many people choose to use the default set up provided by Guild Wars, but many move their displays around to fit how they play. If you find yourself looking at a particular side of the screen by habit, then it is likely most of your most important info should be listed there. If your cursor tends to be in one place more often than others, maybe the party list or chat menu should be there. Changing the Heads Up Display to optimize your performance can be a difficult task but will make you more responsive in theory.
