Guild Wars 2

This occured while I was playing a Human Male Thief on the Sorrow’s Furnace server.

In the Timberline Forest region, between Gyre Rapids and Fisher’s Eye Bridges, there’s an escort event that starts out of Concordia (Gyre Rapids) and heads north. Apparently it’s an escort to a Tower / Watchtower / Build a Watchtower. The wiki lists it as “Bring the Caravan to the tower”, I think. I’m not sure of the exact name.

The event appears to start fine, but once the group passes the bridge, it spawns a mob pack of grawl. The problem is that for the 5 NPCs and 1 player character, about 15 grawl are spawned.

As can be expected, they wipe the NPCs almost immediately, causing the quest to fail. I’m just betting that this is way too many mobs. I did observe one other player character that was AFK on the road just before the mob spawn meets the NPCs you’re escorting, but the difficulty still seems a little over the top.

I attempted this quest twice, and both times an over-large group of grawl was spawned.
