The gameplay was also the same in Ubuntu 12.04.1.
A couple tech specs of my machine:
Processor: Intel Pentium D 2.66 GHz dual core
Graphics Card: nVidia GeForce 550 Ti
The biggest problem is wine doesn't really utilize multi-core processors for those games that really need multi-core. This is an ongoing problem hopefully we will see some developement addressing this in the future.
In the mean time the latest Nvidia beta drivers 310.14 has some new optimizations that does make an measureable impact by offload rendering to the gpu but I'm not sure if it can help in your case, or might make things worse. (I don't play GW2)
