Guild Wars 2

Hi all.

I’m new to Guild Wars 2, and frankly, after a little experience in playing the game (I’m currently level 10) I want to get some help on some things. So :o

I’m new, and I’m wondering. What’s the best way to level? I’m having fun and all this, but it seems the leveling is a bit harder and slower. (I’m used to playing WoW)

Also, I just need help on the Crafting. I’m seriously finding it hard to find veins, or things to gather for it (Maybe I’m looking too hard?) and I’m wondering really, is it worth doing early-on?

And, is there an easy way to make money? Or should I just worry about that later game? ‘cause back onto the Crafting talking, they sell supplies I noticed, and they’re kinda.. expensive. To me, at least, because I haven’t seen much of the game, and I know from experience in WoW, that in MMO’s, gold is important.

Also, did I pick too hard of a class-thingy? I chose an Engineer, and it seems cool! But as you know, I’m used to WoW, and it seems a bit on the harder end. Not to say it’s not fun, but just wondering.

And lastly, I’m confused about PvP. So I hear there’s WvW, and I know NOTHING about that. Are all of the races friendly? Like, if you see a Charr as a Human, would they be an enemy? Is WvW the only PvP? Is there like, a PvP currency, like there is in WoW?

Oh, and one more thing! I heard there’s dungeons in this game? How do they work?

Thanks in advance! All help is more than greatly appreciated
Sorry for it being so long XD

Heyo, I was wondering if anybody could help me. What’s better really for PvE? I’d like to level pretty fast on my Engy, and I don’t know what’s the best. So far I have the Bomb Kit, the first Turret you get, and the Healing Kit. I’m dying a bit, and killing things slowly. (Also, mind you, I’m using a Rifle)

So, onto the question.

Which one is better? Dual Pistols or a Rifle? Or something else (Not really sure, just got the game!)
What are your favorite skills to unlock? Like the Flame Turret, Healing Kit, etc.
And finally, what do you think is the best race for a Engineer?

I’m thinking about restarting my Engineer, and moving it to be Charr for it’s race. It looks to be pretty cool if you’re a male. I’m currently a Human though, so.. Not sure.

Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated

Also, if you’re feeling so generous, I’m very new to the game, and wondering what the best way to level is, but this isn’t the place for that, so!

Thanks in advance!
