Hi King Toker – If what you are describing is network lag, your system will have no affect on any connectivity issues experienced in game. If you run a traceroute and ping to a Guild Wars 2 ip (can be done by typing in /ip in chat while in game) you should be able to see your ping along with any packet loss found and where this occurs.
Sometimes, a conflicting application can also contribute to lag, though generally this would indicate either there is an issue with your hardware (modem and/or router), the connection service, or your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
You can usually test this by connecting directly to your modem via Ethernet cable or trying to play from a different location such as at a friend or relative’s house.
