Guild Wars 2

I have been playing GW2 very spottily since release. I have only gotten to level 55 so far, but I still feel like I don’t know much more about the game than I did when I first started. What is the best way to learn more about the game (best places equips and how to get them, what dungeons to play, etc.) without having to spend hours reading online?

Dungeons are usually my favorite part of any MMO’s PvE experience. However, after playing through all of AC’s paths several times, I almost never play dungeons in GW2. It does not seem to be worth the experience or drops unless you are already level 80 and have nothing better to do. And why make a dungeon accessible to level 30 players when you need either very good gear or a few level 80 players to complete it in a timely manner? In my small amount of experience, dungeons in this game are far too difficult and do not appeal to the casual player in ANY way. I do not have time to find a very experienced group to run dungeons regularly with and i certainly do not have the time to get killed over and over playing with other lvl 50 noobs like myself. This new waypoint system will only exacerbate my problem. Edit: Also, in path 1, if you are killed by the stairwell with the fire, you can’t rez. One of my party members got stuck on the stairwell and could not rez because of the new system. We were stuck trying rez him for 5-10 minutes.
