The game is based on your preference of "questing" (dynamic events and hearts), grinding (killing mobs, farming goods), dungeons, crafting, wvw and pvp.
It does not have any raids, but dungeons can be longer than you're used to. I've done dungeons in 20 minutes but I've had them take 90 minutes+ too. Dungeons are however, like most of the content, entirely optional.
If you're a casual player who enjoys MMOs you will almost certainly get your value out of the box price even if you don't find it better long-term than your previous MMO.
