The High Res Character Textures option only applies to characters other than yourself. It can help improve your framerate if you do not care if others are displayed with high res or lower res.

“High Res Character Textures – Enables high resolution textures for NPCs and other player character models. Requires a map change for the setting to take effect.”

Also, if you want to increase your graphics and the quality, you can try using one of the couple options that are out there for players.

I use FXAA PPI for enhanced anti-aliasing, color richness, bloom effect, sharpness, etc. Quick and easy to set up and run. Can use it in many games without installing it in each game or copying configuration files anywhere. All profiles are switchable, copyable, removable within the program.

Grab the latest FxaaToolSVN117 from the ‘Files’ tab.
Hitting the download button from the main page is the FxaaToolSVN112 as it hasn’t been updated with the latest version available.

Can view some of my screenshots here that show the boost to graphics: http://stinvec.imgur.com if you would like.
I also have side-by-side comparisons with ‘vanilla’ GW2 settings there.

See if you’d like to give it a try based on my screens.

SweetFX is another, but I haven’t used it for quite a while as I have no real desire to switch from FXAA PPI due to my being very happy with its options and results. Also, having absolutely no game crash issues that I see others having with Sweet FX is nice. I find FXAA PPI to be very easy to adjust with clearly defined effects so it is easy to know what to tweak to get the results I desire. It really has a lot of options. I also have absolutely no performance loss with it unless I go real overboard on the bloom passes.

Here was a discussion from about 10 months ago with some others on the application. Some more info there as well:

It has some settings screenshots/file links there also for what settings I was using at the time. I switch up and tweak them frequently. If I am on my warrior I tend to adjust settings so I roam areas with almost a medieval tone to where things seem less saturated/cartoony and have a bit of a darker atmosphere or a less rich color to the environment. Sometimes I tweak it so it has that dirty western feel for one of my rangers. Sepia tone, scan line and noise adjustments are really great for this, especially to add a bit of a film grain quality as if in a western movie.
