Before I start, I'm not referring to "What to do after level 80", just explaining now to not waste your time, if you understood it this way.
So, it's been a while since i reached level 80, but I know that it's not even a half of the game content, but even after playing the game for some time (I don't play it frequently, but I'm planning to play more this month) I don't feel like I clearly understand it, like I know it's normal because I don't have played that much, but I can say I'm the type that have this need for know something deeply, or at least what I'm doing in the game now. And I know that there is a lot of guides, and tutorials, and explanations out there, but I feel like most of them are either not really reliable or don't explain everthing I want to know (as someone that don't know a lot of things about the game), like, some of them just appears to don't really work for me, mostly the youtube videos, sometimes thay sound like scam or something that is too easy to be true, and in the other side there is the sites/guides like this fast-farming thing, but it appears to be made for veterans that already know what they want and only need to optimize thay gameplay.
And why I'm saying all this, because at least I'm my view, it's much more reliable to ask directly to someone who plays the game everyday (I know that the people who made this guides play too, but you get my point) and can answer you using they own experience in the game, because every guide appears to say something diferrent one from another and I end up feeling lost. I know I can sound too picky for this, but I really like to know exactly what I'm doing, and why I'm doing, like why this way is better than this, why it has became the consensus, how this system or method works, things like that. I'm not saying I don'y agree with the meta methods, even because if it's the meta, it's becuse it's "the best", but I want to know why, you know? Maybe it can sound idiot, but it's something that helps me a lot.
Ok, after saying that, now I will try to go to the point. After I reached lv 80 I decided to still focus in PvE, maybe I'll try PvP and WvW later, but for now I'm focusing in the PvE content mainly, but before I can go and get to explore the world I really want to make my endgame gear, the ascended one, and (I have readed that this is not the best way, but anyways) I decided that I want to craft it, may just to know that I crafted every single piece of my gear, or at least most of it, but I noticed that it would be much more difficult then I expected, because I would need to farm a good amount of gold, and when I checked how much gold I have made through my leveling I just had 2~3 g. That's when I decided to start to "study" a bit about the game to find the bettter way to farm gold, I have some tolarance for repetitive activities, like doing the same cycle for 3 or 4 hours, but of course I don't want to spend 6 hours do get 7 gold per day.
Finally all this leaded me here, so in summary, I want to know ways to get a good amount of gold, like something around 15g per hour sounds good for me for now, and something that can fir my group, which sometimes is just me, but often has 3 or 4 people. And feel free to explain the details of the activities and how to make the gold, cause I'm still having trouble to know what I need to sell and what I need to salvage, things like this. (Actually I'll really appreciate if you can give me this details and explanations).
And sorry if the text is too big, or if this subject is repetitive. And if my grammar is too weird, I'm still practicing :/
