Guild Wars 2

I’m a new player (just got the game yesterday). I started playing the game, and I enjoy the game a lot, but there is still a lot of things I don’t know. I was just wondering if any experienced players could give me tips on how to play the game more efficiently, and some tricks that could be useful. I only ask that anyone else that is new, please don’t say something like “I’m new too, can’t give you any advice”, and please don’t give any spoilers.

Don’t chase content, let the content “come to you” so to speak. For example, enjoy the fact that there are no “quests” in the game, but don’t burn yourself out trying to fill-in all the hearts as a leveling and progression mechanism. Also, don’t strive for map completions right away unless it’s something you really enjoy a lot.

Instead, adopt an “event-driven” play style. You’ll fill in a lot of hearts, gain a lot of loot, and make a lot of coin by just allowing yourself to get caught up in nearby events. Watch the list of dailies and choose the ones that will take you to new maps (if level appropriate) to harvest materials or view a vista.

I think you’ll find an “event-driven” play style will result in a much more rewarding gameplay experience.

A lot of the content is available for you since lvl 1 or early lvls. The most fun way to play this game is to remove all your fears and simply explore and run around the world.
Same goes for builds. Having the perfect exotic gear isnt realy that important untill waay later on in the game and having specific skills and traits is only a must in some dungeons, fractals and later raids.
