Coiled Watch is Still being farmed
They should make these events instanced for the living story. Farming in this game is Bullkitten anyways. If they want to farm let them run fractals.
Just turn all the champs into Elites and be done with it.
If it honestly bothers you that much do not do the event; Simple. Nothing is forcing you to do it. People choose to do with their time what they want, even if it is mind numbingly boring. It is not even the best champ farm in the game, just the easiest.
And just a hint, you should use less swearing, people will take you more seriously. Because currently you look like a crazy old cat lady with that many kittens :P
I think the OP is saying that they can’t get through the LS on their alts because the farmers are deliberately failing it, which is a legitimate concern.
That said, ask the farmers first if they can let the event chain complete for you. You have every right to complete the content as was properly intended, and if the farmers are refusing to let you do so, it is well within your rights to report them.
Yeah they were hell bent on having it fail and a lot of us (maybe 5) that wanted it to succeed kept at it. As for me, I needed it on my guard and I soloed the whole event pretty much. They had no choice to help us do the next events in the chain. There were so many of us we got a few champs in the next two events as a bonus.
If you see my yellow tag on Hikari Kyoko Ishida in Frostgorge give me a holler. I’ll go over there and ruin their day with a bit of my soloing skills.
Looks like they fixed it with a patch.
Thread regarding the toxicity from both sides is here

Except for the Living World story step.
So that’s something. Not nothing.
Stop treating GW2 as a single story. Each Season and expansion should be their own story.

I’m not sure if they should… (make it instanced I mean, I definitely think they need to fix it). It feels to me that having non-instanced content we can potentially get more bang for our buck (i.e. instancing is more time consuming to produce).

Not a particularly valid argument, given that the progress is being hampered. Now if it was an event like Blinx where there was no negative consequence to failing other than failing then maybe I could sort of see where you’re coming form. But you can’t progress in the LS episode without completing the event, the event is being failed by farmers. One of my alts has the same problem, in fact every single person who wants to complete their LS episode is most likely (unless they’re lucky enough to end up on a megaserver without farmers) being negatively impacted by this.
