What is your graphics card. Is it just the integrated intel card?
Unfortunately I’m not super sure you’re going to get any higher than 15 (though I used to play on around 15 and I don’t think it’s that bad). I have a late 2011 MBP and in the OSX client it definitely sits under 30FPS. If you really want to play at over 30FPS using your mac you’re going to have to boot into windows…

My graphics card is actually a Nvidia GeForce GT 330M. I do have an intel HD 4000 but my computer runs better on my nvidia so that is what i use. But are you recommending i use bootcamp? If so is there a version that is best for guild wars 2?

You can use whatever version is easiest to get your hands on – XP, Vista, 7, or 8. But I would strongly suggest opting for the 64bit version of the OS and getting either professional or ultimate (home doesn’t make full use of RAM I don’t think? i could be wrong though). But yes, you will see an increase in performance if you run the game in bootcamp. The OSX client is a cider port so its capabilities are rather stilted, not to mention it seems to be littered with problems. So if you can run the game in bootcamp, I would do it.
