Guild Wars 2

I am having trouble with trying to gather and opening chests. It seems like I am not in sync with the game. I can walk up to gather a plant and it wont let me. I have to walk up to it several times before I get to gather it and the same for the boss chests. I have lost the chest before due to this issue. Can you please help me.

I have had exactly the same thing happening with at least two of my characters. If this happens I have to go away until the “press F” message disappears and try again, sometimes it takes several tries to get the gather, chest or whatever. This is really annoying.

Mine has been doing this alot in the past few weeks.
