I’m soon going to be reformatting and installing a Solid State Drive on this computer. Now while SSDs can improve performance in programs due to the much faster Read/Write times however I’ve heard that for some online games that benefit can be lost due to server/client communications with what gets loaded when from where (Guildies back in WoW said moving the installation to an SSD gave miniscule to zero benefits).

How is Guild Wars 2 designed for SSDs? Worth it or should I save the space for other games?

Not worth it, if anything, your re downloading your game more often, and thats not good for SSD’s :S (all the patching, re downloading of game files etc. and if you come up with the nasty glitch of having to redownload the whole game)

Hmmm Truth hurts does it not?

Everything for GW2 is streamed from disk. So having it on a SSD, your loading times will be a little faster and texture streaming will be improved as well. You will not gain a single FPS by having this on a SSD though.
