Purchasing any one expansion will allow pvp but to win you will need to buy all 4(3?) this will total 35$ if you know where to look.
Although there are ALOT of skills many are useless.

It eliminates the less exciting aspects of world-map play by using a mission-based design, while still keeping the features that make massive online role-players great. Make new allies in towns or outposts, form a party, and then go tackle a quest together. Your party always has its own unique copy of the quest map, so camping, kill-stealing, and long lines to complete quests are all things of the past. As you play out your quest, you have an unprecedented level of freedom: Your magic can build bridges and open up new pathways, or it can burn down forests and villages.

Despite it being an MMO, there is very little community, with players being disconnected and generally completing missions on their own.
There is also barely any incentive to play. There is no clear definition of what you can do, little incentive to level up, and environments and combat are very bland and linear. Compared to other MMOs, Guild Wars falls far short. Even the one reason to play it, the lack of a monthly sub” read more

One of the few commercial MMORPG games that do not have a monthly subscription fee, Guild Wars is rather sold in 'campaign' expansions, each one a stand-alone MMORPG game.
This first campaign is called Prophecies, and is based on the continent of Tyria, and revolves around a prophecy made by an ancient dragon.
