FPS issue solved
I have suspected the new TP is the culprit of the recent FPS drop.
Few days ago, I was selling all my mats. Since I had quite a few, it took several minutes (with the TP open) and my CPU started to burn (+90°C).
I have a switchable card (a power-saving, integrated GPU and a high-performance, discrete GPU) and I was using the integrated graphics for the Coherent UI. I switched to the other card and the temp has not raised too much (still, it raise more than before).
As additional note, Chrome is the only program that raised my CPU heat (again, barely fixed using the discrete GPU).
Why fix the Necromancer for free when we can charge $$$ for the Revenant

By deleting %appdata%/guild wars 2/, you reset your settings. In the past, your settings (Local.dat) could become bloated, which would reduce the performance of the game.
If you want to kill CoherentUI, you can do so by opening the task manager and ending its process.
I hate to break it to you, Mrbig, but that was one of the earliest solutions suggested. What you did is just reset all of your settings. If it had been a long time since you removed your local files, that could have definitely been a problem, but it was also one of the first things I tried — except, when I did it, and allowed it to reset my settings, I backtracked through all of my previous settings to find that it was High-Res Character Textures. For many this has fixed the problem. Others it hasn’t.
That was 21 days ago. It does appear that Coherent UI is also a major factor, but it’s not the whole story. I honestly think that the devs have as little a clue as we do as to what they screwed up.

No dude u didn’t get my point. I deleted the cache just “in case”, the real problem were the transactions on BLTP.
I tried EVERYTHING i could before doing this ( cores unparking, options reseting, overclocked my both cpu and gpu to ridicolousness levels since i’m already on a high end rig).
The key step was to withdraw everything from BLTP in order to have nothing Coherent UI related while i was playing, i’m pretty sure i could have left both AppData folder and GW2 .tmp where they were.
Just do as i said, and your fps issues ( if you have any) will disappear

I did way more than this. Since i noticed that killing it before launching the game would make the launcher crash and since killing it after entering the game did nothing to my fps, i encoded my process killer in order to stop it from starting then launched the game with the -autologin command line.
Still nothing.
Again, our fps issues have nothing to do with our rig or our options, or our folders.
IT’S THE BLTP.
Remove IN GAME everything BLTP related than reboot and the problem is solved.
After clearing everything, when do the FPS issues begin to occur? As soon as you open the trading post, after you list something, once you have an item to pickup, etc? Are the issues noticeable as early as the character select screen?
You can’t kill CoherentUI while on the launcher because the launcher’s interface is rendered using CoherentUI. The earliest point you can manually kill CoherentUI_Host.exe is on the character select screen.
When you say you reboot, do you mean you have to reboot the computer? Does killing all Gw2.exe and CoherentUI_Host.exe processes not work?

From what you originally posted, however, you cannot actually PROVE this…..you changed 2 things at the same time and are “guessing” at which one fixed the problem.
Sorry, no dice (without some additional proof).

I deleted only the cache countles times, did nothing to my fps.
Again, the isssue is the BLTP.
Do whatever u want, i said what the problem is, if you want to fix it or not is your choice, who cares lol.
