Lunar NY 2018 I had the same issue but just with the griffin adventure that kept crashing GW2. This year is horrible with crashes. Wondering why it's only with that specific event. All others work fine. Hope the hotfix comes sooner than later. ;)
Friend of mine crafted the seed pouch, planted it but couldn't harvest the next day (wasn't online). The day after (so about 30 hours after planting the seed) it was gone. Does anyone know if that's expected too?
