Well, I came back to the game few months after PoF release (I bought the game on release in 2012 and stopped playing after few months). Played HoT, LS3 then PoF till LS4 ep 4? (The one with roller beetle). Then I took a break for about year, and came back few months ago. I don't recall any big issues with lags back then. Sure, it spiked from time to time, had 1 or 2 DCs during story mode but that was it. It was never like map being laggy with 5-10s freezes. So thing is, something occured during my last break.

Issue is still present for me too. I hope Anet will fix it before Steam launch cause if they are gonna welcome potentialy new long-time players with servers performing so poor, those new players will stop playing GW2 and refund it ASAP. And all we have is this post from august (but the issue with server lag is way older) - https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/111982/an-update-on-game-performance-issues

Well, no. Just no, there's nothing wrong with ppl measuring thier PvE performance when thier role is to DPS. It should be just like it's in FFXIV, DPS Meters are not officialy approved, but as long as you keep it for yourself while in public group you're in no danger of being banned or anything, but if you're going to be toxic and abusive cause player X does low DPS in your opinion and then harass him/kick him from the group - that's another story and such behaviors should be punished. Remember that DPS meter is just a tool to measure your damage output, nothing more, nothing less but how people use it may lead to toxic behavior.

Well... I returned to GW2 week ago and it's terrible in terms of server lag. I've got decent internet connection of 1Gb/s download and 300 Mbit/s upload, never had any problems before with latency on any game at all. I refuse to believe that problem is on my point. GW2 shows avarage ping arund 35-45ms, but in game itself I've got constant freezes while playing with input lag of about 2-3 seconds. I hope those are just temporary issues casue if it's stays that way - it's a deal-breaker for me.

I think it's SHIFT button, can't confirm it in game now. I had same issue some time ago and figured it out. This isn't bug at all.
