Out of sheer boredom I wanted to give you guys a very important tip if you're new to Guild Wars in general.
ALWAYS make sure you have a salvage kit on you, carry two if you can. Salvage kits can be bought from many general vendors and probably even karma vendors. We know of 6 different types, one of which is a perfect kit and is sold on the gem store. Like GW1, it'll probably be very possible to craft perfect ones, but anyways on to why you want to always have one with you.
Starting out you're going to want to get bags ASAP, general vedors sell 4 slot ones for cheap, but those are only 4 slots and you can obtain a lot of loot very quickly in GW. So you're probably going to be aiming to make yourself some kind of new container which can be obtained really fast through any one of the three armor crafters (armorsmithing, leatherworking, tailoring). You can make yourself some 5 slot bags right out the gate with any one of those three professions and so in comes the salvage kit.
You can salvage gear you obtain as well as items that are specifically designed as salvage items among other things. So you break these down into crafting materials and you can either then use them for crafting, sell the materials on the Trading Post or even the item you had if someone is offering a good price on the Trading Post.
Another thing to remember is you can use the Trading Post by simply pulling up the UI from anywhere in the game and you can then buy and sell right there, no need to go anywhere to do it. You'd then need to pick up any items you bought or if you sold your item directly to someone who had placed a buy order then you'd need to also pick up your coin. To pick up your stuff all you need to do is go to a city and visit a Trading Post NPC and you can retrieve items/coin. So you can very easily empty your bags from anywhere in the world without going back to a vendor and it's nice because chances are someone is offering more coin for the items than the vendor would give you.

'() So I haven't pre-purchased yet, but if another beta-weekend is announced later with no more pre-purchase available because too many people have it already, I'll bite my ass for not buying it earlier...
