I use a G13 with GW2 (and I’m even using a Mac). It works quite well.

First thing you’ll want to do is to make sure you have the latest drivers from Logitech installed.

Then you’ll want to check the Logitech Gaming application (It’s called “Logitech Gaming Software” on Mac; dont’ know what it’s called on Windows). In there will be a “Profile” setting which governs if the G13 automatically switches to different key mappings when it can detect the game that is running (so you can have different mappings for different games and the G13 will switch between them automatically).

But in the preferences/options settings, you can also override this so that mapping set in a specific profile will apply all the time, or if the G13 can’t find a profile for the active application, etc. The different driver versions may behave a little differently, but this should give you some idea of what to look for.

From what you describe, I suspect that the G13 has found the GW2 application and set up a profile for it, and is using that Profile when you’re running GW2. But the key mappings you’ve configured are not for the GW2 profile, so when the G13 switches to the GW2 profile your settings aren’t defined there. You need to make sure the key mappings you want while running GW2 are being applied to the GW2 profile (or whatever profile you’ve configured to be active when GW2 is running).
