So I have been trying to get into PvP and I just cannot. I really appreciate ANet giving us max level toons with every toy and skill we can think of (for SPvP especially) but it is just a little daunting. I really would like to have a chance to ease my way into it; and there is no way to ease into PvP in this game. You either get washed away by a giant PvP tidal wave or stick with PvE. Anyone else feeling the same way?
