First of all, welcome to GW2 and good for you to want to play WvW. For me, level 20 was when I had learned enough about my profession and the weapons I use to be able to actually fight and kill the enemy 1v1. Just hang in there and try not to wonder around alone, I would recommend as soon as you get into WvW ask in chat where the others are or look on your map for any Commanders that are running around.

Armor and weapons will drop as you fight, just have fun!

Pretty much what Cimmric said. I would also suggest crafting and using karma to buy the rare recipes from the crafting masters once your crafting reaches 125. Having peaked out gear for your level makes it easier to compete with 80’s in full exotics.

I level all of my characters through WvW, so this is from the perspective of someone who has thus far gone from level 4 – 65 on one guy, and 2-various 20s and 30s on every other profession.

My advice is three fold:

1) Play normal PvE long enough to open all of your weapon skills. This should get you to level 4 or 5.
2) For a while, your best bet in combat will be ranged options. Until you feel more tough, focus on supporting your team and causing chaos in their team from afar.
3) The most important thing a low level player can do in WvW is focus on SUPPLY. Protect supply yaks, repair towers/keeps, stay on lookout duty, and communicate to the team by specifying LOCATION, NUMBER, INTENTION. Don’t say “OMG DG UNDER ATTACK!?!?!111”, say “14 HoD @ DG, setting up siege, we have 2 people defending” and let everyone analyze that on their own.

The higher level you get, the faster you’ll level. If you only want to focus on gaining XP as fast as possible, find a commander (the blue dorito on the map) and follow the “zerg” for profit and glory. You will be less useful than if you focused on supply & intel, but you will gain more individual reward.

EDIT: To add to what someone said earlier – always wear the highest quality gear possible. Take time to visit the vendors if you need too, to make sure the coin keeps flowing. An arrow cart dropped by a level 2 is the SAME as one dropped by a level 80, so if you can afford it go ahead and buy them – and learn to carefully place them where they will do the most good!

Welcome to GW2 and you should follow the large group of your team mates ( Zergs). help them take supply camps and buildings ( towers,keeps, and castle) in the borderland you are in. Make sure you stand in the rings when taking the control points, supply camps and buildings. that will garantee that you get rewarded for work.
Good luck and i hope you have lots of fun like i do. i did lvl my character from lvl 4 to 80 in w vs w. i think it was easier to do then in pve for me.
