My tip: take a break when you're bored of it. The best thing about the game is all your progress is still there when you get back, unlike other mmos.

[stewmass]

My biggest one I wish I'd known sooner is you can right-click on any chest jiggling over on the side of your screen and it will open and put the contents in your inventory without having to pop-up a screen for you to acknowledge.

[gorrvaskr]

Not a tip, but an amazing thing about the community is mfs will be hellbent and traverse the 7 seas to revive you. I also rarely see anyone not say thank you after.

[eurasiacentertutorials]

Community is no joke, was trying to get the ascended banner from heart of thorns and needed two bounties I was having a hard time with. So I finally just asked. And well, had a whole group of folks come out and help me, and then we all helped some other folks and about 30 mins later we probably got 4-5 people their achievements done.

[matheusspable]

Regarding end game content. I was in a raid training, lead by the Crossroads Inn guild. And the dude just said, NO ONE IS TO USE ANYTHING OTHER THAN AUTOATTACK (other than healer ofc). That allowed us to focus ONLY on the encounter mechanics, and I cannot put into words how much that helped understand and face raids. we killed vale guardian with auto attk only, and noone was teleported even once. It showed me how Raids are not a huge monster to learn and face, you just learn the mechanics first, and the dps comes later.

New players always use coin to go to town to visit a bank or trading Post. Just do Your PVP lobby tick to visit the bank, trading post and vendor. When done click the crossed swords again and poof. You are back where You were in the Map. As with the deposit all materials. Sell all junk button on the vendor. Gets rid of junk.

[snakeman]

My top lesson: use the trading post before selling stuff to a merchant. You can frequently get 2-5times more coin from the trading post than a merchant, and that adds up fast.

[pkidawmbt]

I always tell new players to abuse entering the mists (PvP lobby) early on because it gives them instant access to top merchant and bank as well that they can access anywhere in the world and when they leave it plops them back exactly where they were. Great for those maps that don't have convenient waypoints near your spot.

[lockdudebro]

Going back to the wiki feature, you can type /wiki and shift+click an item into chat to immediately search for that specific item. Saves a bit of time having to type in the name of the item

[marcinmikucki]

My advice is this: make yourself a tea/coffee and spend some time in option menu. Features like "disable inventory compact button", "lock ground target", "disable autotarget" or turning off double tap to dodge really help with controling movement and aim. Secondly consider redesigning shortcuts asap so you avoid clicking skills with your mouse. Far to late I discovered that F2 can be moved into alt+2 etc. Sooner you start with that, less bad habits to fix

[Keyce]

Another couple fun tips:
1.) You no longer need to feel like you're locked to one social group in this game because you can join up to 5 different guilds and swap which one you're representing with the push of a button!
2.) If you type the phrase "I am Evon Gnashblade" into the Black Lion Trade Post's search bar (not the gem store, the auction menu), you'll condense the items and icons into a much smaller menu, making it easier to search!
3.) Some enemies have a second bar under their health bar and it's blue. It's known as the Defiance Bar or the Break Bar, and it reacts to crowd control (cripple, fear, knockdown, etc.) but it reacts more to stronger effects. For example, the Cripple condition will reduce it slowly, but the Knockdown condition will chunk it pretty hard. If you can reduce the blue bar down to 0, the enemy will (usually) get stunned and take increased damage for a few seconds! This is also an important mechanic in some World Boss fights because it also negates powerful skills from being activated and hindering or even wiping out your team. Check each of your abilities to see if they deal any "Defiance" damage and keep a couple handy to help your team stun powerful monsters!

[Grimatron]

My tip for new players would be to do the adventure guide, it's worth huge amounts of exp you get for completing each stage. Also save your tombs of knowledge for the last 10-15 levels which can be kinda boring to grind to 80

[sovest]

Another thing to note about Legendary Gear that IDK if anyone else mentioned: Thanks to the Legendary Armory system, all legendaries are account-wide and can be worn by any character with the proficiencies AND don't cost any charges to transmute into a different look. Whereas Ascended and lower you have to invest in them for every alt potentially.

[Psoewish]

That last one is so important, when you're running through a zone doing some map completion or whatever just pop a "how's everyone's day going" in map chat and I promise you're gonna spark a fun conversation and make your session way more fun.

[embreis]

GW2 has such an overwhelmingly friendly community because ANet always made sure their game mechanics foster teamplay and helping each other and there is almost no opportunity for grieving other players unlike some MMOs where even resource nodes disappear [for a while] for everyone else if someone harvested them

[Awkwardrains]

One of my favorite community moments was in the Iron waste, a bunch of people were just having a random parade.
It felt so fun and just nice to break away from the grind, story, and just general fighting mindset to laugh at the jokes being tossed around as we all just walked in a straight line for no reason other than it was fun.

[smgm]

I love the fact that there's much less emphasis on rotation and DPS in GW2. Yes, it's still important, but I was bullied in other MMOs because I failed to produce enough DPS. A leisurely game became stressful. I play after work to relax, not to be stressed. The only thing I don't like about GW2 are the jumping puzzles. I have physical limitations and those are hard for me (yes, even the totally easy ones like Lion's Arch Urmaug's Secret!). One thing I wish I had known sooner is that nobody needs a flying mount in order to get enjoyment out of the game. The springer's my best friend.

[Wisznuification]

If you a new player, starting your adventure in GW2, I would strongly suggest not to follow the first advice mentioned here. Yes, there is a risk that you make a class you won't like, but the general feel of each class can be get pretty early, plus there are many informational videos on classes on Youtube. But if you go to PVP zone, get lvl 80 and all skills, you will loose a great sense of discovery - the adrenaline rush when you get a new level, you get access to a new skill and you get to test it for the first time. Plus, you will get overwhelmed with information and a number of tools at your disposal.

In character creation, on the part where you customize your character, there are four small icons above the body features tab to toggle the armor on/off, zoom into the head or change to day/night lighting. Very useful for checking out Charr fur patterns, Norn tattoos or Sylvari glow. I've seen SO MANY new players trying out the game and creating their first character without even knowing those exist.
