Upscaled weapons and armor
I’ve got no complaints.
I started levelling my Guardian at lvl 7 and never had a moment where I thought I wasn’t reasonably competitive.
I can get right in the front line and stamp faces, no problem. Plus, it doesn’t cost much to repair anyway!
Just keep your gear up-to-level.
As long as you keep your gear “on-par” with your character level, when you get scaled up in WvW to 80 it will be done about right. However, if you’re a level 30 and you’re wearing level 20 armor, you won’t have full stats. But it’d be no different than a level 80 player in all rares or all greens. WvW isn’t totally balanced in terms of armor, etc, thats what spvp is for.
As it is, the upscaling can make upleveled people sometimes have ridiculously high stats from time to time. So as long as you keep your armor within a few levels of your lowbie, you’ll be fine.
