Please stop giving south africans a bad name. I'm also from SA and have been playing the game for the last 4+ years and sometimes i buy gems once in awhile. Mostly I just do Fractals, Raids and Meta's. (I'm a little broke after the Legendary Armour crafting, but yeah that me).
How about just try and play the game. There are numerous guides available to get gold. Check youtube, wiki.
Guild Wars 2 is a good game, although it has some bugs every now and again. Which game doesn't.
This game can be played free excluding the expansions bought. It just takes time and alot of patience (Sometimes).
And yes I work full time, so everything takes longer for me.
Enjoy the game it is an experience, not a race.
