Train Swordmaster Faren Bug Solution
Well, you’re training him. He needs to get a tag in order to get credit, and thus xp for the victory.
The problem arises in almost every escort type event. People tend to go more and more ahead of the NPC. In the end either the NPC will be stuck in weird spots or it will wait for fights forever.
Best example is probably the escort close to meddler’s summit in Cursed Shore, or that quaggan in Snowden drift.
Sometimes making mobs kill the NPC unfreezes the event but it doesn’t always work.
I hope Anet will eventually review those type of events and add a reset option in the code for the already existing and new escorts as these can stall meta event forever…

I ran into several events where killing the NPC was the most optimal way to restart the event. But then a random player will come along, kill the enemy and save the NPC lol. I feel for Faren’s event, one Bongo NPC should be invulnerable for a few seconds so Faren is guaranteed to hit it. That may help with older escorts events too, in my opinion.

Yes, that does make sense logically but players are normally in kill mode when they see enemies xD.
