Because Claw of Jormag doesn’t have a fail or end mechanism, groups are endlessly grief farming the mobs without actually killing the dragon. This makes for a very unpleasant experience when you just want to do the event. The farmers will just sit back and laugh at you when you ask for assistance to do the event properly.

Even though the merchant has been removed from the area during the event, this still does not stop them.

There needs to be an end mechanism or timer introduced to the event to stop these farmers ruining it for everyone else who’d like finish and get the karma/reward/chest.

I agree, although I want the lodestones as well, there should be a fail timer, and some sort of consequence, maybe remove the corrupted weapon vendor and make the area become a corrupted camp or something, then there would always be plenty of corrupted to kill AND you can do the dragon event.

Blame the design. Currently with some higher level meta event bosses killing them quick is less profitable than focusing purely on the trash spawns. Lyssa, Grenth and Claw are main offenders in this case.

Tell me, why would I want to finish the event fast if the chest will give me 4 blues, while same time, farming the crystal drops I can get 4-5 rares, a lodestone and at least 20 blue/greens?

The only way to really fix it would be making the chests actually drop desirable things. Make it a guaranteed lodestone and 2-3 rares drop from those big boxes then I’ll consider doing something more than trash farming.

Oh, and before someone comes up with brilliant idea, no, nerfing the trash drops is not a solution. It will only lead to no one even bothering with those events.

I think that if the Claw’s Health doesn’t hit critical in the first 15 minutes, then tons of Champions should appear and kill everyone! then the claw should fly off and done, the end. Till ~4 hours later lol

Or just make the “trash mobs” get stronger over time… more Vets… then Champions… make it get to the point where the battle will be impossible to win, if the claw isn’t brought down.

He does get brought down by the cannons tho. IT’s not like killing the trash spawns does not benefit the fight at all. When you kill off the crystals the NPCs shoot the cannons, both at the shield and at Claw. You can’t delay phase 1 to no end.

The solution is just to buff the chest loot to contain several rares and have a reasonably high chance for an exotic.

Problem solved.
