Overwhemling, start new?

Started playing when it came out, played for a few years and then took a break. Came back when elite specialization but found all the info overwhelming and stopped again. Algorithms show me guild wars 2 again, saw the sales. Is this a good time to try again? What is your advice, completely redo or use old profile again/characters. For the record, i played pvp and wvw, little story.

What to buy, in shop or seperate?

Greetings, older player (maybe returning)
