But you can not expect every PC game to run on smartphone. I think that the main reason is that most PC games is using Direct X, which is Windows native.
Windows tablets can run Windows games. Android tablets cannot run Windows games unless the game has specifically been ported to Android. A handful of games that were originally for PC a long time ago have been ported, but not very many.
But even if a game does get ported to Android, there's an enormous difference in performance between what you can reasonably fit into a big (e.g., 10") tablet that can handle several watts without incident and what you can reasonably fit into a cell phone.
You need a Windows x86 based tablet to play Windows Desktop games.
Also even if you could play Guild Wars on an Android Device, nearly all Android Devices lack the requirements to play Guild Wars. NVidia based tablets might, but even there it may not be enough.
Guild Wars 1 doesn't have very high hardware requirements. If ArenaNet really wanted to put in the effort to port it (which would be a waste of money, I think), they could probably make it run pretty well on an iPad Air, for example. Lower end tablets wouldn't fare so well, though--and Apple's tablets and phones do tend to have pretty high end hardware specs for the form factor.
This actually would work most modern phones can handle even more than gw1 "example" note 8 is a 2.45ghz 6gb ram with full integrated graphics can handle high resolution. I think this is the best way to make gw1 alive again. have people pay to play on phone and the way gw1 is set up. Phone play should not be a problem judging there are only 6 skills and you click to move and attack.

I dont know how that should be possible. Your smartphone is the Android type which is base on Linux.
Some older PC games like DOOM have been "ported" to Android though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kokak.DoomGLES&hl=en

probably Window tablets. But who knows, maybe someone will find a way to creat a WINE-like program for android to emulate pc games.
