They’re aware. While I’m sure they’re working to fix it I haven’t seen any updates from Arenanet on what they’re doing, how they’re getting on, or an ETA for the fix.
Most of us have only been having the problem since the 9/9/12 patch – guessing something they tweaked there is causing it. It’s been 4 days now and a lot more people are complaining of low FPS now than before – if they can’t provide a fix soon I think they need to consider rolling back whatever graphical/optimisation changes they made in that patch.
No, you’d need to edit the registry. I’m sure it’s easy enough if you know which field(s) to edit, but I wouldn’t know where to start.
To save re-downloading all the game files again I’d say just move Gw2.dat from your current installation folder to where you want to install it on your SSD, then re-install the game into that folder.

The " minimum requeriments " make me laugh, yeah minmum if you want to play low at 10 fps.
That’s just the problem, you should be able to play comfortably at a reasonable, stable FPS (albeit on low settings) with the minimum requirements.
As it is I’m running with an overclocked GTX580, i7 960, 12GB of RAM and I have to turn every setting to the absolute minimum just to get my FPS above 10. I’ve given up playing until they fix it – I shouldn’t have to struggle to play the game at such low FPS with it looking so horrendously ugly.
While I’m sure they’re working on it, it’s been like this for 3 days now with no further comment from arena net to say exactly what they’re doing or an ETA on a fix. It was working fine pre the 9/9/12 patch.
FPS drops have made the game virtually unplayable for me, it’s only become apparent in the last 18 hours or so and seems to be entirely dependent on where I am.
Running perfectly smooth in some areas like Lion’s Arch and Divinity’s Reach (so I doubt it’s a population issue) but getting ~5 fps in Queensdale. Bring up the map up or rotating the camera upwards into the sky knocks FPS back up into the normal range, but obviously isn’t a practical solution.
In ~30 hours of play prior to last night I hadn’t experienced any significant FPS drops whatsoever other than whilst screen-capturing large World Events with particle effects firing everywhere.
Hardware:
1.5GB GTX 580 (OC’d)
12GB 1600MHz DDR3
Intel i7 960 3.2GHz
Game and Windows are running from SATA 3.0 HDD.
Edit: Poor performance seems to be across the board now. Game is completely unplayable. Turning settings down to low boosts my FPS to ~25 – there’s clearly something wrong.
