The pathfinding is a bit of an irritant here and there, and the invisible walls too. I had the same problem with WoW, being on Stormrage. The first person "over the shoulder" view and lag and the whole rhythm left me desiring to do pretty much anything else with my time.

I must be spoiled by WoW, even on Stormrage, because lag is hardly an issue anymore. Oh, it certainly happens from time to time, and when it does it's usually pretty bad (generally involving "item lag", or "gathering lag" as I like to call it), but not game-breaking. In GW I'll get teleported around the map three times in the middle of a fight. And don't get me started on just trying to navigate along the map, or through town.
And before anyone says it's my connection, I have a 3Mbs cable connection that has given me NO problems with lag in any other game that was not server-related. AND the service has been VERY reliable over the years, with minimal problems and always being fixed in short order. I do not live in the boondocks. :)
