Guild Wars 2

Ok, and that stuff is character based, not account? So if I were to delete a character, then recreate it only the new trait rules would apply? If so seems like a good reason to keep what I have and just add slots for new experiences. Thanks.

I played the game a bit at launch but due to some difficulties gave it up quickly. I made 5 characters at start, only playing one to the mid 30s and completing nothing. Now I’m back and deciding to pick it up again, but I have a question:

Would I lose or gain anything by deleting characters I already had and starting over fresh, especially considering changes to the game since launch (trait system, personal story, etc)?

Basically deciding if I should keep my original 5 and buy new character slots to keep an edge, or go ahead and wipe em to get the full experience as is.

Also, I hear tons of stuff changing soon for expansion, should I do anything because of that (not play til the new system comes out, horde certain things, rush to complete some things, etc)?

If it matters I ONLY do PvE, mostly solo or with 2-3 friends in the game, and I have very little interest in competition, prestige, looks, social aspects, etc.

Thanks in advance.
