Been Away for 1 Year + What's Different?
Keep your 80s. There was a change to the way traits are unlocked, but your characters you already have will be grandfathered to the old system (which most people seem to agree was much better).
You can do all low level content on high levels and still get some rewards and experience due to the downscaling system. You’ll be set to the stats of someone about 2 levels above whatever you are doing automatically. Start with some low level maps to get back into the feeling of the game.
There are 2 new maps: Silverwastes and Dry Top which are designed for level 80s also.
You can play the last season of the living story for a fee (it was free for anyone who logged in while it was active).
There have been several changes to class/game mechanics but that’s too much to go into, and mostly minor stuff gameplay wise.
Hats off to all the ones who stood before me, and taught a fool to ride.
Not a whole lot has changed with the ever infrequent balance patches.
Okay, thank you everyone!
more lag!

New maps that are well designed. Dry top and the Silverwastes. you should check them out, they shower you with loot and are action packed. The mobs in the silverwastes are actually trying to kill you (as opposed to mobs found in other maps).
Living story that you’ll have to pay to have access that is more interesting than the Scarlet extravaganza.
PvP overhaul, that thing is much better now.
New log-in reward system and new dailies that force you to do WvW for 2 min each day. It’s not so bad in the end.
New Player Experience system that is designed to drive you mad. Seriously, they really screwed up here.

Pretty much, though just avoid pvp. It’s a total mess. There isn’t any match making in place because there isn’t any people doing it. It’s a total unbalanced mess, though it’s awesome if you play an engineer as they’re the love child of A-net and will continue to be such it seems.
Other then silverwastes, which will get old pretty quick because of all the people taxi’ing in and out and not helping to progress the map at all and the shovel farmers.
NPE is the worst thing thats ever happened to game and literally the developers didn’t think at all about it and kneejerked it into game. It’s some awful crap. As you can see the countless threads about the awful awful trait system all over the place.
Most people are just sitting around not doing much waiting for HoT information.
Disclaimer: Under no circumstance should you take this seriously.

Uhhh no. You don’t have to do WvW for any reason other than wanting to do it.
