Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior, but since it is related to the new living world content, I’m posting it here.

During the fight against the assassin, the NPCs (Rox, Braham, Taimi, Jory, Kas) started out fighting things on the ground. However, once I started attacking the assassin, they all stopped making any attacks or actions and just stood idle for the remainder of the battle. While I was able to eventually win, having the NPCs go into idle mode, making them become spectators for the main part of the battle, completely breaks the immersion.

If this is intended behavior, perhaps there should be some kind of plausible explanation added for their inactivity during this fight, such a getting magically immobilized by an enemy skill, etc.
