Guild Wars 2

I am having same issue ever since the last balance patch (may of been a little bit before can’t remember) but I am constantly getting high ping spikes 400+ when before this was happening it would be rare for my ping to spike even 30ms above what it normally is. Running a cmd ping with -t parameter shows a huge amount of packet loss to any of the /ip addresses I have tested. If I run a ping test to anything else, google, my friend, some random US website, even an EU website even though the ping is high due to where I live there is 0, not even 1 packet loss.

Even other MMOs which only have US servers have 0 issues what so ever, it is only GW2 since a week ago or so that this issue is happening. This is a ping to one of the GW2 servers- http://puu.sh/uqgWa/26094796e5.png
8% loss, that is nuts when I have 0% to ANYTHING else that I try and ping close or far from where I live.
There is a large number of people reporting this as a problem, and it is also happening to my friend who lives about 40 minutes drive from where I live, exact same lag . This is NOT an issue on our end, something has changed and the issue is either on Anets end or whoever they pay to host their servers.
