Same! That's why I made a new character when I returned. It's been a long time since I last played, so I gotta catch up on all the story. So, I just decided to re-clear maps, reacquaint myself with Tyria and enjoy the experience rather than rush headlong to 80 to play current things.

I've been playing #GW2 in my downtime from FFXIV and I've found that I actually enjoy leveling the new character I made more than I enjoy playing my Level 80. -

XD
None of those activities really feed into the part of me that enjoys progressing my character, even though getting up your gearscore /is/ some kind of progression. It feels less tangible to me, whereas getting the next Level or Talent Point or clearing a map feels much more rewarding.

I feel ... very lost on my 80, like I'm painfully behind the times. Maps feel hard to clear because I don't have the right mount or the right Masteries to interact with certain elements.
I can see why people find it hard to get back into after a while.
