Returning player | Where did the guides go?

Hi guys!!! So, I haven't played in... like four years, and yesterday I returned to the game -and to the new forums. I was intending to read as many guides as I could (since at this point I'm actually a newbie), but it seems I'm not able to find any. Is there a post that compiles guides? Do you have any suggestion for where I can find builds advice? What's up with the

Thank you in advance, I'm pretty lost here.

My only addition to what @"wanya.1697" lists would be https://metabattle.com/wiki/Open_World -- those build guides help understand how people put together open world builds, but also why they make the choices, and what changes you could make for various reasons.

Beyond that, a good guild is wonderful, but just asking in map chat for help is going to be pretty successful in GW2. As a community, we generally love to help out. Definitely in PvE, and I'm told that PvP and WvW tend to be the same way, as long as it isn't mid-match that you ask. ;)

Thank you very much!!! I have loads of homework to do now :smiley:

Heh. I'd also suggest that you can do pretty much anything other than ranked PvP without having to study too much beforehand. If that is your thing. :)
