Is WvW really only about numbers?

It’s a stupid zerg-fest, except for the OP classes aka Necro and recently Ele.
Chrono and Theif can roam just because they are impossible to catch aka kill.
Having a worthless class for WvW (like engineer) you can get by with lobbing mortar shells from a distance as part of a zerg, but that’s it.
Wish Anet would stop wasting development time with this broken game mode. They could at least try some sort of fairness by limiting builds to PvP builds, but I guess they think fairness in WvW is impossible, so why bother?

Engineer is worthless is WvW. I don’t think any devs play engi, they seem to favor necro.

What is the real difference between wvw and pvp beyond servers?
PvP is a fair fight where skill and teamwork wins the day. WvW is where noobs can feel like winners by gathering together to vastly outnumber their opponents.

Are pvp builds just as effective for world vs world?
PvP has controlled builds for balance. There is no balance in WvW, so they don’t even bother to try. Who outnumbers whom is the only thing that determines the outcome of a battle in WvW.

Do you start at level 80 on pvp and if not is it something you can level in?
Your level is maxed out for PvP and WvW, but you have to bring your own gear into WvW. PvP gives you access to balanced and fair gear.

Is it usually every man for himself or can you do well as a support build to help teammates?
There are a few objectives you can sneak around to achieve on your own, but really WvW only works when you’re in a massive mob. No one is going to notice how supportive you are in such a cluster-muck where it’s like 50 v 5.

What are fun and viable builds you might recommend for an elementalist?
Metabattle.com The only thing that is really important in WvW is movement speed. To chase down people running from your group, or to run away when you see a bigger group coming.

And what kind of rewards do you earn?
PvP and WvW both use ‘reward tracks’ for typical random stuff. Unfortunately, you’re forced to play WvW in order to build legendary weapons.

Oh, it was put back into the game. That’s good. When it was gone, I contacted tech support to figure out why I couldn’t discover it. They told me it was replaced by the pact version.

This thing is absolutely horrible! The regular Equipment Box was removed from the game, and it’s nearly impossible to get the recipe for this item, so you have to buy it from other players. Annoying, but workable. The added invisibility feature is also annoying too, but the most horrible aspect that blindsided me was when I crafted this item for another one of my characters who still was using 8-slot bags, and find out that unlike every other crafted box in the game, this one is soul-bound! Complete waste of expensive crafting items. I’m not amused.

TLDR: The inventory system of this game is a mess, and my attempts to organize it have been a waste of time.
