Guild Wars 2

Have noticed that there has been an ever growing amount of Champion Farmers in many areas where there dragon/world-boss events that occur in the same map.

Take for instance Frostfang Sea. When the Claw of Jormag event spawns if you are not already in the map chances are if your connection is not super fast your character will get put into overflow due to the amount of Champion Farmers on the map previously.
This is unfair to those that want to participate in the dragon event.

Have further observed that most Champion Farmer groups won’t even help out on the Claw of Jormag fight, instead continue onward with their farming rounds. Since these types of Champion Farmers are taking up so much player space one would think that Arent.net would of made some provisions. Expanding the map player capacity might help.

Other suggestions would be:
• While the Claw of Jormag event occurs, all champion mobs despawn.
• Should ‘Claw of Jormag’ not be defeated within its allotted time-frame all champion NPCs would no long spawn until the next ‘Claw of Jormag’ event has been successfully completed.
- This would ensure that either the Champion Farmers would have to participate and not go AFK, further taking up space that could be given to event players. If those Champion Farmers did not help out on the event they would be reprimanded for their lack of support.

Harsh maybe, but the issue continues to grow on highly populated servers. Would suggest at least the champion NPCs despawn during all map dragon/world boss spawns world-wide.

About the only exception would be Tequatl, since some servers will only try the fight after server reset – one time. Blackgate seems to be an exceptional server, other servers will try it one time after reset only.
Makes one wish Tequatl would scale to the amount of players participating, as the event would be impossible with 25 players anymore.
