Guild Wars 2

Please consider reworking AI during escort events or rework these types of events.

During escort events it is very annoying that NPCs pull themselve on everything there is around. It is the most frustrating during events like balthazar pre event when dead NPCs cause the event failure. Why? Because single NPC is running with no life attacking tendrils who just smack him in the face, after getting up he repeats his melee efforts to destroy it. Even if you destroy one tendril the entire NPC party pulls themselve on the tendril before the one resulting in going back instead of progressing, mobs respawn and sometimes it creates an yoyo effect and the NPC party runs around from point A to B losing precious HP on their righteous crusade against vicious tendrils.

This is only really and issue if you solo an escort mission, in my experience most escort missions get bulldozed over by the sheer number of people and everything even remotely near the escortee dies.
