Guild Wars 2

I’ve looked at the wiki but I’m still not so clear on how to join PvP and WvW.

Do I join a queue and get placed with random players?

Every time I check LFG, it never says that any other parties are looking to queue. I was hoping for something along the lines of:

WvW queue : 21/50

- level 66 warrior, but I’m only
- level 13 armorsmith
- level 22 weaponsmith

I’ve gotten to the point where I have more than maximum deposited iron ore, so I am holding some in my inventory. I really want to smith iron ore and the ores superior to it. But crafting bronze is taking a really long time.

I feel like I’m doing something fundamentally wrong, or if the game was built this way to make way for depth of crafting like for e.g. in Runescape.

I’ve also started looking to the Black Lion market to buy bronze just to smith them for EXP but after buying a couple hundred bronze bars, I’ve started to realise that I’m making a massive loss and that it’ll take a tonne of money before I can reach the next tier of crafting.
