PvP Lag, Hacks??

Ok, so I've been away from this game for awhile, just came back after the few patches to check it out and let me tell you it's awesome. I really enjoy it. Until I went to PvP. I'm sure there are multiple threads that everyone will tell me to go to and check out but frankly I don't care. I'm just writing this in hopes that maybe this problem will be seen by a few more eyes. So here it is. I leveled a complete new toon back up to VET ranks just because I wanted to start fresh with all the changes in the game. I'm VET 2 and I go in PvP and it's fun for about 5 minutes, until my group runs into a group of EP. I'm on AD at this point, and it's a LAG FEST. I mean no weapon swap, no skills, nothing. I'm dead before I know it. So I go back to PvE for a bit. I actually made another toon, lvl'd him to VET and decided to PvP again tonight. I found a group to run with and put probably 3 hours in. I might add this toon is on DC and a totally different campaign than my last. We took a few AD keeps, no problem, was really fun. A few skirmishes, a few randoms running around, what I would like PvP to be. Well then EP attacks one of our keeps. We move in and all of a sudden freaking lag. I mean massive, no skills, no weapon swap, nothing. I chalk it up to just too many people there at once. However we had fought bigger groups before this with nothing. No drop in FPS except what could be expected, we could still fight. The group I'm running with talks about how this happens all the time with EP, certain groups/guilds, I won't drop names because I'm still unclear what is going on. Well the night goes on and EP attacks one of our keeps and we move in. Myself and a group of about 5 others are moving through when one "1" EP is running through the field in front of us. We start attacking and our FPS drops dramatically. 5 VET+ could not take down this one dude. We tried to chase him as he bounced around the screen, and finally, literally disappeared. Every attack I tried on him was delayed. When he was gone my FPS went back to normal. So I ask the question, is this just coincidence, or is something else going on. I've played many MMOs, many PVP MMOs and never have I seen lag this bad, especially when just fighting one particular group. So take it for what it's worth, but this is just my observation.

A rare DC solo player who thinks guilds are responsible for lag this is a so rare sight, OH what a treat, but we must be quiet or we will spook em and he will bring his whole population.

Now for the lag problem, it seems you bumped into a sorc who was blinking around the keep while the inside was a cluster of people fighting means lag carry's, on into different parts of the map its very common..

How dare you blaspheme the Croc hunter by dragging him into this sordidness?

Lagsploiters pretending to be humans pretending to be lagsploiters. How avant garde.

Actually it wasn't a Sorc it was a DK that was bouncing around the screen, and we where no where near the keep I mentioned. We where probably about half way between our keep and the keep under attack. Plus I know what "blink" looks like as oppose to someone glitching/lagging around an area. Also I'm pretty sure Sorc's don't have the Reflective Scales ability that this guy was spamming. Anyway, what makes it unusual is that my FPS where just fine right up to the point we started to attack this dude, I know this because I monitor the FPS. So if having 5-7 people in one area with nothing else around is causing the lag or if as you say the lag from the keeps carries to other parts of the zone, so be it, I just find it funny he didn't start bouncing around and the FPS didn't drop until a few seconds after we started fighting.
