That's actually pretty interesting, considering the fact that I was running CoF on my Monk back in GW1 days. But there's still bosses to beat in Arah, which means that I would have to solo them with a warrior ? Soloing bosses is way harder in GW2 than it was back then in GW1.
yes. and no. some bosses are very easy to beat due to broken mechanics (get the boss to basically stand still), while other fights simply require memorization of the "tells" for skills and then proper dodging and skill rotations.

trading post
some people buy stuff, craft
some people buy low, sell high
some people invest, then wati for prices to higher
etc
good examples:
1) when a new patch comes out/ a new craftable item comes out, inevitably all of the materials will raise in value. remember when spinal blades backpieces came out? Iron and steel ingots shot through the roof, so people made a killing upgrading bronze to iron.
2) typically the buy low/ sell high requires a very strong understanding of a niche market and its velocity. In general not a good idea to try (IMO) just because in general, if a niche market appears, it closes quickly due to the number of other players looking for the same niche
3) investments are also risky, but can net huge profits. Think black lion skins. When they first come out, they are all 1 BL ticket (~100g ish), and may dip to 50-60g at certain points. Then once the BL ticket price goes up to 5, these skins slowly gain value as the trading post reserves deplete. However, there are never guarantees. Everyone who was holding onto monocles before the last boss blitz lost their shirts due to their re-release as a drop.
4) most reliable way to make money (for me) is simply daily dungeon runs (AC 1, 3, SE 1, 3, COF 1, COE 1, 2, 3 and fractal 50). I also have the time currently to do this type of thing (and I enjoy dungeons)
