Guild Wars 2

So I’m running currently with a couple of guildies doing hearts in Bloodtide Coast and we come across a group of about 15 people running in circles, armorless, killing repeating spawns of candycorn elementals.

What on earth is happening here? Is this a bug as it’s obviously not halloween?

Joke or serious? They are candy corn elemental farming.
Seems its flared up again.

They take of their armor to minimize their damage for maximum tagging potential in the whole group.

This might explain it for you.

Serious. Its not actually anything I’ve seen before (outside of the actual event) so I’m a bit confused as to why these mobs are here.

Ahh! thanks for the explanation!
