Is it going to be possible to be competitive at 400-500 ping especially in pvp or will I be servery handicapped?
Being unable to type more than a few words and unable to type at all while actually playing is finding groups going to be too hard? Can talk through the mic if this is supported but in most games this doesn’t happen in guild chat and most people use external programs like Ventrilo anyway.
Most MMO’s I’ve played to play at the top end up need to play 3-4 hours per night. I liked that the patch mentioned time limited on raids and the longest I saw was 2 hours. Is two hours per night enough or am I wasting my time?
Is it possible to get the best gear etc through crafting or other single player means or is it a case of the more people involved the better the gear?

Thanks in advance I am very competitive and like to play at the top end in any game I play so if this isn’t going to be possible I will delete now before getting too hooked
