Game is only using 25%-30%- CPU.
Just a possibility: if you have more cores in your CPU (like, 4), you must consider that not all the programs/operations can use more than one CPU at the same time: sometimes because it’s impossible to do with certain algorithms, sometimes because of bad programming. If this is the case, you cannot expect such programs to use more than a certain percentual of your total processing power.
I’m not saying this is the case of GW2, it’s just a possibility, as I said.
Why is this and what can I do about it?
It depends on what your using to view CPU load. I hear Task Manager doesn’t tell the whole story. Process Explorer does though.
guildwars 2 uses 3 heavy threads, when any one of them maxes out the core for even an instant it kicks ur fps to crap, this happens so fast that taskmanager dosnt display it(its between refresh cycles process hacker or process explorer can show you a more realistic picture of whats going on.

OP what CPU do u have ?
If u have a 4 thread CPU, then yes that does seem a bit unusual. You should see around 75%+
If u have a 8 thread CPU then it isnt so unusual, but u should still see around 38%+ on average.
If u have a 12 thread CPU, its perfectly normal.
