    The ravens have never despawned for us since the expansion went live, we always had to clean them up after killing the boss.

    Have ya’ll considered changing where the majority of the raid stands and mobs pulled to? Last I heard you guys were fighting up at the NPCs, against beta dev advice on raid design. I haven’t watched any of your ETG streams lately so excuse my ignorance if your tactics have changed. Also important is that some npcs come to assist regardless of where you fight, however, we have still never seen a mob called out once for that emote (or any others in that event.) *To the best of my knowledge, and I do read the names emoted and have never seen it target and NPC nor has it ever been mentioned by any other guild keen eyes. (But I’m not perfect and for all I know we have had it happen but with no adverse affects.) However, regardless of possible strategy/execution difference, it is most likely a bug. Though I kind of feel like those particular ae’s should potentially affect npcs in combat with other event Npcs. What would clear it all up would simply to remove them as interactive raid npcs and make it so they do not assist the players or become active or involved in any way during the event.
