You are not taking into account some people do have difficulty playing the intensiveness of this strike mission and not because they give up too fast. These events for EoD are a mega carpal tunnel fest for some considering their duration and design. Those with disabilities might have trouble reacting as quickly some of these events require. While I am not asking for easy, I am asking for alternative ways to obtain an item that is needed - not just purchasing it. I would not have a problem doing some things like we had to do with the Skyscale to get an item instead of a strike mission. Not everyone is a 14 year old with lightening fast reflexes...

When I look at the achievement it shows you need 100 fine fish filets, 20 fabulous fish filets, 10 flavorful fish filets, and 5 fantastic fish filets. When you go to Fidget to turn those in you find you actually need 50 of the fabulous fish filets. Please correct either fidget or the achievement as they show two different amounts for the fabulous fish filets

I had talked to them every time they were available as we progressed so I don't think it was that. I still think it had to do with having replayed the story for the purple stars so my group could replay the Return to stuff and there is a glitch where the game hangs up instead of recognizing your character had actually finished it and was working on the Return to items. We all got credit for the Return to events. Since I was the one leading the party and initiating the story bits we had to do, I was the only one who had this issue. Closing the story and relogging was all it took, luckily, for the game to recognize I had indeed finished everything and get the conversations I needed to get my nice shiny object.

I made sure I was on the character who finished the story - I double checked when they would not talk to me despite having the chat markers over their heads. I suspect the issue was having the story up again and having it hang up at the point where you had to talk to Aurene and Bangor - that action seemed to have priority over showing I finished the achievement. I was helping guildies through the Return to stories so we were not progressing through as though we were playing for the first time - just going to the purple stars and starting those instances. Since closing the story and logging out and back in solved the issue all is well but was a bit disconcerting when it happened and my guildies were able to talk to Taimi and Gorrik and I couldn't, lol. I got my amulet but wanted to make sure if anyone else had the issue come up they could fix it.

I finished all the Return to Champion Bonus Events and went to talk to Taimi and Gorrik to finish End Conjecture. Neither would talk to me. I did have the story up because I was helping guildies (my character had done the whole story previously). The only thing I had was being prompted to talk to Aurene and Bangor and nothing else. I finally quit the story and logged out and was able to finish End Conjecture. Possibly having the story still open prevents that conversation from happening. I am curious if anyone else has had this issue.

They also might want to move the Champion's End marker away from the pilot as it is nearly on top of him and makes it hard to interact with him.

You got lucky if enough nodes were on the map to harvest and/or you had glyphs of bounty on all your tools. So far everyone I have talked with says that there are not enough nodes to complete in one go. I had a glyph of bounty on my harvesting tool and still was not able to get enough plants in my first run through.

Then maybe Anet should put enough nodes out for folk to gather in one go after the event is done. The issue is people are NOT creating a private instance to finish gathering. They are using whatever means to get in the map to finish and leave everyone else in the lurch who are trying to finish the event for their achievement. Running around that map to gather after all is no different than the time it takes for folk to go around maps gathering varietal peppercorns etc. on a daily basis which I am sure many do - it takes some time. Definitely it would help if both the gathering and the event could be done on one time through.

Anet should disable any gathering until after completion of the event. Folk could then go back through the map and collect their items and either return to Eye of the North or go on to complete the next section of the story. When I did my instance I stayed with my group and helped complete the event and only then went back and got my gathering done on the map because I viewed it as the right thing to do. I have seen folk come in to complete their gathering and leave especially after the group had closed leaving the reduced number to complete the event. One guildie reported her instance failed when over half of the group left once their gathering had been done early in the event but after the group had closed. She was frustrated because she was trying for the achievement of completing the event. Disabling gathering until the event is done is a simple solution to this problem.

If this is an apples to oranges case then why can't The Outcast Prince achieve also count for the JP part of this whole achievement. That one is a JP in the Labyrinth (West WP is where start is). Granted you only do it once but at least you can take your time jumping to the moving platforms (you do have to watch the pattern of how the platforms go). This one should count as well as maybe an alternative.

For those with the "try better" mentality keep in mind not everyone has the reflexes of a child and some have disabilities that prevent doing this type of platforming so have some compassion. Not everyone can do this type of thing, some of us know this is one achieve we will be unable to complete due to circumstances we have no control over. A better reply might have been to point the OP to look at the wiki for the route and some videos to see if that helps. Let's be kind to one another - there is too much meanness going on in the real world for people to get snarky in here.

I logged on probably 10 minutes after noon EST. I did a few dailies with no issue and then the crashes started.

I was fine until the new episode started and now crashing every few minutes. Game is unplayable right now. Looks like something broke. I have gotten all kinds of error codes. My internet is up and working just fine. No issues at all until the new episode hit.... I am on East Coast so not sure if it is regional. I have some friends in the South and one in Canada who are not having issues right now.

I remember the gates being bugged way back. I tried hitting the edge of the gate itself and it seemed to register more often.

My guildies and I got it done by having one person scan and one who flew, collected the orbs and hit the dogs. Since we had a full party the rest kept downing the dogs so the other two could work more easily. Two could probably accomplish the same. I had great difficulty trying to do this solo my reflexes are not good to be able to do what was needed so help from friends was priceless.
