I thought this was a game for a casual player?

No it is not. PvE is as much the purpose of the game as PvP (despite the name). Jeff Strain from ArenaNet estmated that 25% of the players were interested in PvP, 25% in PvE, and 50% in both. Online polls indicate that he is right. I'm mostly on the PvE side, doing a bit of PvP for diversity.

The combat mechanics are the same for PvE and PvP.
