Guild Wars 2

So I spent the first 3 weeks in game solely pvping. I experimented with 4 different professions and made it to rank 14. All my guys were level 2. After settling on the elementalist, I thought I would start pveing once I realised I needed to get to 80 to WvsW.

Anyway I’m seeing all these random components drop and wonderering should I even attempt to craft or should I sell everything and wait till 80. I’m assuming like almost every mmo I can run around at 80 making tons of gold randomly running dungeons and xping? I have enjoyed crafting in other games but I tend to enjoy power levelling them and getting maxed out in a day or two.

Would the community suggest selling all ingredients on the trading post or at this relatively low level ( 23 ), crafting some things that are a pain at 80? And as some of the posts suggested is the money in crafting selling ingredients to other crafters as opposed to being a crafter yourself.

You don’t need to level up to 80 in PvE to do WvW

You need 80 to earn all your traits. Do you suggest I run around with no traits or gear?
