Sure thing! Right after some groundwork on the table.

I am working on convincing my friends to come back to the game so we can try and fight zergs. Just today me and a few other intelligent people in my Zerg got absolutely destroyed by what felt like the best elementalist, fb and necro in the world. They were so coordinated that they ended up breaking apart our Zerg and beat all of us. Now I want to reach that level.

Not sure if that helps, but trying to get legendary armor through pvp while playing 2h per day might be even longer as a casual player. You are in a group of 5 and all 5 must perform. Pvp ends up costing more time and, like in my case, it costs soo much nerves with all the beautiful (and for some reason still invisible to Anet) afk/bots. At least in WvW you can do stuff solo if needed. Imagine having to have a group of at least 4 more (random!) people and fight other groups of 5 but if you loose a fight you don't get any rewards. That is pvp.

I have somewhat of an opposite experience. I recently started working for my first legendary set. Since I do not want to invest time and find a static for raids, I have decided to go for a pvp legendary gear (I already have back item anyway since I used to play pvp a ton). OMG how quickly I realized/remembered that pvp was and still is just Depression - the game mode. So I decided to try out WvW. At first it was a bit confusing, but after several videos I have found out that you can do SO much more in WvW even solo. You can not do anything solo in pvp as an average player. In WvW you can suck but still do at least decent be it solo roaming and/or sticking with a group. I quickly crafted and geared up a few characters (engi for solo roam and group healing and a firebrand, spellbreaker and an elementalist for group play depending on what the group needs or I want to play). And MAN it feels nice! I just put some nice music on and just enjoy the game mode the way I want to. And no matter what I choose to do in WvW I get rewarded for taking camps, keeps, just finding people to fight. So much freedom it's awesome! I heard that the game mode used to be better, but I don't know man, I still see people play this awesome game mode.
