Guild Wars 2

I actually bought the game strictly for the WvW aspect of it, I’ve always loved world pvp so it seemed fitting. I really don’t mind the leveling process in this game though, it’s pretty fresh so far, I just wanted to make sure if i did hop into the odd WvW i wasn’t going to be a hindrance on anyone. Even if i don’t contribute a whole lot, learning what to do and where to go would be the main goal. From what i’ve read though, if you go undergeared you tend to be rally bait which i’m assuming is frowned upon.

So i just started playing the game about a week ago, and hit lvl 20 yesterday. I was wondering if i should continue to level in the living world first before i go into WvW, i don’t want to be farm bait as an upLevel. Would I benefit more from leveling in open world or just getting my feet wet in WvW? i’m sitting at about 4gold right now, maybe i could buy some better gear before i get started? Any feed back would help, thanks.
