Crab toss is a load of shit. It's not fun, you have to win at least once, the mobs they add just make the whole thing frustrating and, well, it's just plain dumb.
Gotta have that medusa head back though.

Yea, I'm not a fan of Crab Toss. You don't need to win it though, just play it once and you'll get an achievement, then you can go do all the other ones (Samples, NPC's, Events, etc.) and get up to 25 for the Tentacle backpiece. There are usually some mesmer's around who offer to port people up to the islet that has a sample on it so you don't have to do the jumping puzzle.
Look at your list. You need to pick up a crab 300 times, steal one 100 times and win a match once, among the other crab-centric bullshit.

Trying to decide which class to take to 80 after completing Warrior, Guardian, and Ranger. Which class has the best PvE survivability and clearance rate? I am thinking Necro or Ele but having trouble deciding. Was also considering Mesmer but the butterflies sound complicated.

24/25 on my 45 necromancer and too low level to eat the omelette sitting in my inventory lol. Oh the humanity! Can't wear the tentacle back yet anyway but I sure as hell wasn't going to miss a piece that awesome. For those that don't know you get scaled UP to 80 in Southsun.
Yeah, the back is cool, but a bit underwhelming once you are wearing it.
I think ANet should open the full map and scale you ala Southsun. I should be able to go into Orr with 80s as an 80.
All the action on the instigators in Southsun has been a blast. Super fast leveling and buku loot/gold.
Playing this game mega casual is fo sho the way to go on this game.

So I solved my problem with deciding between elementalist, necro, and mesmer by making one of each and playing them for the first 10 levels. My surprise choice to keep playing was the Mesmer. The interesting mechanics, unexpected survivability, and the fantastic aesthetic hooked me, as well as melting faces with a floating greatsword. As I read, it just gets better but leveling hadn't been any issue for me through the first 20.
If Mesmer is the same as it was months ago, depending on the build, you only really die due to lack of planning. Portals, teleports, clones, and condition removal/transfer. You don't kill anything on equal footing quickly, but you have amazing survivability.

The hardest part is figuring out how to enjoy the world especially after playing something like WoW. Talking to all the NPC's for backstory and exploring are really where this game shines. Keep in mind the zones don't start getting challenging til around level 20. That being said this game isn't for everyone, I wasn't really feeling it until I came back, altered my approach and tried it a few months after launch.
Does anyone know if it scales you up to 80 for the Explorable mode dungeon in Southsun?

When I say I'm not finding it fun, I really mean the Necro. The actual game, storylines, collectibles, etc I really am enjoying. Just looking for something more interesting than the current 'spam marks on the ground' that I seem to be doing.

Yeah I've found each classes enjoyment level is hugely reliant on what weapon spec you like the most. I have a Ranger that I was loving using the longbow on until I picked up a shortbow, now it feels so slow I usually only switch to longbow as a secondary to fire off rain of arrows.
