Guild Wars 2

Recently I started having these problems with incredibly low fps (1-10) in Lions Arch. Its not coming from population, I tried logging on during offpeak hours, with ~2 other people around, but the problems stay the same.
Lowering graphic options didnt make a difference either.
Its also not like I changed anything about my system either, the game ran perfectly for 1.5 years on high settings, but since new year I started having these very low fps problems. Sometimes I couldnt even steer my character to stand at the TP traders in LA because of the latency.
Other maps and dungeons get hard fps drops too, but in LA is where its unplayable.
Also, the startup of the game takes forever, as do the loading times for anything, maps, dungeons etc.
When I enter a map I also often miss icons for skills, icons for items in my inventory and environement objects. They load after some time, but it takes minutes.
Opening trading post freezes the game for about a minute, then it slowly loads all the pieces of the window in bits.
Even closing the game will freeze everything for 1-2 minutes until I get back to my desktop.
I reinstalled twice, no difference.
Other games play as smooth as ever.

Computer:
2,00 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor (3.20 Ghz)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Windows 7

I saw theres some other threads about fps drops, but apparently those are other problems, as I neither run on a mac nor do I only get the problems in crowded places or run the game on a weak system.

Only 2Gb of ram may be a problem

In Reality; your system is pretty weak.

2,00 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor (3.20 Ghz)
ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Windows 7

You only have 2GB of ram (you SHOULD be running 4GB at the very least today) and your running an AMD CPU, which is pretty weak when it comes to single threaded processes.

I would say, upgrade to 4GB or 8GB ram (which ever your MB supports) and start there.

This helped me solve the problem.
Turns out I in fact have 2x 2GB, but one became nonfunctional because the computer hasnt been touched in 6 months.
Must have been dirty or something, so I plugged them both out and back in and cleaned the computer. Now both work again and the game runs smoothly as ever.
Thanks!
