I typically play like a fiend, but I've taken about a month break (very rare for me). I came back today thinking I'd get back at it and it's a freaking lagfest. Major skill lag, lag moving items in inventory, lag during fights, lag gathering, etc. It's basically unplayable as it is. I enjoyed my break, which was surprising for me, and to come back to this is pretty unfortunate. I thought I might get into things again and go back to playing like crazy, but with the state of the servers I'm wondering if I won't just call it a day again and move on to other things. It doesn't seem like Anet is addressing it either, from a glance at the forums. No communication? Glad to see some things haven't changed.
