Cybernetic Ghost.8017

I've started having these issues a few weeks ago, noticeably after the most recent Living World episode. I thought it may something with my computer but the people I play with somehow have the exact same problem. The game will freeze for seconds at a time. It doesn't matter whether I am in a PoF map, a city, or Central Tyria with very little people, even on the lowest graphic settings the game is basically unplayable. I have no issues with any other games I play. My internet connection is perfect.I don't have the best computer, it's quite dated. But like I said, I play with people who have really nice computers and they experience the same thing. It's certainly not something on my end. Especially with the amount of people in this forum dealing with lag as well.As for my geographical location, I am in Northeast United States.

I would much rather spend 800 or even 1000 gems on a skin I want, rather than 400 gems to most likely get I skin I will dislike. Anet definitely won't be getting 400 gems from me for a random skin. It's seems that the entire gaming community is on the same boat so I don't understand why they would do this when no one has any interest in it.
