Props to the video suggesting Immersion and GW2 UI mods. However, I've noticed that whenever I go into an interior environment (even right on the lip of a cave or something) my FPS stutters; goes from 100 to 80ish, back to 100, every couple seconds. Real annoying.
Also you can PL characters pretty fast if you've got a 110 running a lowbie through dungeons, since apparently there is no more instance reset cap? Find the quick dungeon and spam it (like Stockade). Works especially well since the classics scale to 60 now.
If anyone wants to try the above and see if it works, I'm leveling an alliance character right now. Add me @ Brikker#1337. I could trade the favor on either faction, if it works.
