Hello. I am new to the game ( not sure how new playing for 1 month almost and in desert destination ) I am coming from another mmorpg witch pvp were one of the important factors. I have few questions.
1. For how long can make not "Uber" but at least average/decent pvper?
( mean gear farming ) I want to notice from the game witch i am still playing things in pvp counts on gear but basically the other game is really expensive 200$= 400$ per month for tier. Gona be happy if someone post me how should look one pvp weapon and armor ( mean one piece to get how far i am from it )
2. Next ons is it possible to farm with npcs( heroes i have the three of the games )? I have guild but pretty inactive for that i am asking this question
and to join another.... when my time in playing is chaotic i am not sure is it the best also with that i am playing still the other game and dont think to quit it cuz the pvp ( farming a lot in it also ) and the 2+ years spend there .

1: Gear is more or less unimportant when it comes to Guild Wars. It all comes down to player skill and knowledge of the game.
2: Yes, most farming is done without real players (with or without heroes/henchmen depending on the farm)

Guild Wars is not about gear, it's about skills and (for PvP) unlocks. Even the best PvP character doesn't need one single gold coin. You can always create a PvP character for PvP, and a PvP character always starts with maxed armour.

And you can simply create any weapon for him as well with a few mouse clicks. You don't have that menu for PvE characters, so you haven't seen this yet, I suppose. To this auto-created armour you can add every rune that is unlocked on your account. And to the PvP weapons you can add every weapon upgrade that is unlocked on your account. "Unlocked" means you either identified such an item in PvE or directly unlocked it with Balthazar faction at a Priest of Balthazar.

As PvP character, you can use every skill you ever learnt in PvE automatically, and you can unlock additional skills at the Priest of Balthazar as well.

Regarding farming: there are class-specific forums.
