Guild Wars 2

For some reason, when i have depth blur effect checked in the options, instead of it only blurring distant objects and environment, it’s instead blurring everything, even NPC’s within a metre of me.
Here are two links to two pictures, one with depth blurring enabled, and one without:
Depth Blur on
Depth blur off
These NPC’s standing right infront of me are incredibly blurred.

As it stands, i can’t have depth blur enabled when it messes with the games graphics in such a way, i’m pretty sure this isn’t how depth blur is supposed to work either.

Just for information, I’m running the game on:
GPU – AMD Radeon 6870
CPU – I5 – 3570k
OS – Windows 7, 64bit

I’ve noticed this too, but only just today. It seemed fine before but now even my character is blurred unless I zoom in all the way.

has this been addressed ? because I am having exactly the same issue at Timberline falls only
