It's pretty obvious that WvW will be for PvE farmers, while serious PvP (arenas, whatever) will allow you to create max level (PvP only) characters instantly.

If anet can deliver I see WvWvW as a great way for PvP loving players to so to say test their steel against other guilds.
How do you think PvE farmers will benefit more from this?

alot of skills have the same name and the same icon and the same effect.
classes, races and the whole world is almost the same.
it is like gw1, the engine is different and overall the game genre is different, yet its comparable

Keeping up to date.
"Guild Wars 2 uses a heavily modified Guild Wars game engine which includes support for true 3D environments, more detailed environments and models, better lighting and shadows, new animation and effects systems, plus new audio and cinematics engines and a more flexible combat and skill-casting system."

My friend got into beta (lucky bastard) and i told him to see if all the traits are finally in the game for elementalist and ranger. I told him to go to the mist or to do some pvp 5v5 but he cant find the way.
how do you go to the mist and where is the pvp lobby ?

Doing WvWvW lvls you up faster than doing PvE in the zones, and you get more money and karma too. The small amount of NPCs also drop loot on par or better than what you find in zones.
Long as you have a huge roaming group of people in WvWvW to just zerg places and cap them quickly that is by far the fastest way to grind lvls away imo. It's also tons easier and you won't die nearly as many times if you just went into the world.

I know this beta is for those who got in and press. That means that we will be able to see some new videos this monday ? Maybe the skill tool with all the traits ?

Any word on an open beta or release date? I can't wait to play

But don't you have to do PvE stuff to get those extra points, forget what they're called, that let you buy new skills for your 6-10 slots?

You can either lvl up and get a skill point per lvl or you can get several skill points in random places in the world by doing challenges. WvWvW uses your actual character and gear. Doing instant PvP 5v5 uses alrdy loaded out lvl80 who you can customize if you choose.
Also have trait points which you get per lvl once reaching lvl10. You're trainer allows you to re-distribute them and etc. They give flat stats, some %'s and passive buffs depending where you spend them.
I'll try to answer any questions you guys have. lvl25 was the highest the zones would go. No dungeons available, though found 1 lvl80 raid/dungeon portal that I wasn't able to pass through lol.

I heard there was going to be some sort of pay to win in GW is there a link that explains it?

Ugh
So they took out the whole " I can go play high level PvP aytime I want without leveling a PvE character before ? "

No, you only need to be level 2 to participate in high level Instanced PvP with equal footing vs everyone else.
For WvW, you can enter at level 2, however you are not given all of your traits and abilities like you are in Instanced PvP. You are bolstered up to level 80.

Thank for the clarification.
I was getting a bit scared. The concept of being able to PvP in a MMO without spending hours to level up the character and get the gear is what attract me in GW2 so yeah. Was a bit scared.

The beginning of the vid was quite informative but the last part struck me as strange
I just heard a lot of "probably this" and "maybe that", the conclusion might be correct but only if the cost of the gems is high, which is a really big if.
To put it bluntly, people can pay to win somewhere, the question is how much they have to pay to win and where they can press their advantage.
