Please for the love of the six five, please let us dismount from griffon, and mainly skyscale mid-air. This will make traversal feel so much better IMO. Also, make the skyscale less 'sticky' on walls.

In the desert highlands (derelict delves) and the lag spikes are unbearable. Seems to be a map wide problem when I asked in map chat. Everyone was lagging.

Running a gtx 1070 here. In sPvP maps, i get good fps around 60+, but all the new maps from PoF are ridiculous down to 30 and less due to "lag" spikes. HoT maps I get around 40ish, and most of the vanilla maps run fine. Just seems the new maps are not optimized well. EDIT answering Gaile's questions . . . When did this issue first start? After each XPAC, HoT fps went down a little, PoF is worse.Has it been consistent across time, or has it become worse lately? Or has it come and gone (been intermittent) over time? Not intermittent. Newer maps run much worse than older, even with better hardware. Lowering graphics settings does not help much.What is your general geographical location? Central US, but it does not seem to be a latency issue, but more so a graphics processing issue.On what game world are you playing? Vanilla maps run fine for the most part. HoT maps run a little bit worse, with PoF maps being the worse in terms of FPS.

I say almost never because I miss getting cool stuff from achievements and even as drops by playing the game like we did in the first year of Guild Wars 2. . . Pretty much all the skins and stuff linked to achievements and defeating bosses. Ever since LS1, everything has been equipment like accessories that have no effect on our unique look (looking at you LS2 and Heart of Thorns Story content, and all those ascended accessories for completing the story achievements). There have been so many missed opportunities in rewarding players for completing feats, as well as Achievements, in the game. For example, the Fallen Balthazar outfit should have been a reward for defeating Balthazar without Sohothin instead of locked behind a Black Lion Chest. I dropped a bundle of keys to get that skin, and didn't get it; and yes I am regretting wasting my money on BLC keys . . . completing "Reins of the Raptor" could have rewarded a Raptor skin with 4 dye channels . . . but in the end, we are just left with achievements that give us between 1 to 5 points that adds up to nothing; not even enough to get us over the hump for an Achievement Chest. Its even worse that we are still dealing with diminishing rewards, and have the risk of our accounts being suspended or banned for grinding/farming for materials and gold. Sucks working towards Legendaries, ascended gear, and pretty much everything that is cool looking that is a material sink, while combating the stated risk and diminishing rewards, along with RNG. Hopefully devs see this comment and take a step back and look how broken their game is in the aspect of being "rewarding." Still love Guild Wars 2 in the end despite its set backs in terms of rewards and the gem store. I play it with my wife, and we are having a blast exploring Elona, as well as the rest of what we currently have in Tyria.

May be an unpopular idea, but what about having a $14.99 a month deal similar to other MMOs that are cosmetic based'ish like TERA. Something that nets players increased RNG, loot returns (mats, money, karma) . . . permanent access to bank, merchants, etc for the time of the subscription . . . daily allotment of gems . . . exclusive mount skins for be a 'subscriber' . . . xp boost for the time of the sub . . . daily or weekly black lion chest gift box (basically a free black lion chest). All this without NERFING the current RNG, XP gains, etc etc without a subscription.
