I’m Almost Level 80 in Guild Wars 2… What Happens Now?

I’m almost level 80 in Guild Wars 2, and now I’m asking the real question: what happens next? As a new player, level 80 does not feel like the end. It feels like the game is about to open up even more. I keep hearing about masteries, exotic gear, ascended gear, legendary gear, fractals, World vs World, mounts, story, fashion, and all the other things waiting after max level. So this video is me asking the Guild Wars 2 community for help. What should a new or returning player actually look forward to after hitting level 80? Drop your advice in the comments. What should I do first after level 80?
