Isn't that supposed to happen when you lose?

The Grasps go nuts killing everyone, right?

the glitch is that when you lose they NEVER despawn. so 2 hours later when the next group tries to play the game, you have 100 grasps chasing people down, and its impossible to win.

you end up with scores like this:

The top pic was taken after the game was lost and after the attack was over, and when things were back to normal. The glitch was that all the remaining Grasp-Things were chasing the one girl and nobody else. They weren't killing her, they were just following her for an hour.

Is it related to this bug from last year?

It is possible to force a Grasp to follow a character, much as if it were a pet. If a player was to pick up a Celestial Charge, wait for a Grasp to go after them, then get moved to the festival minigame area, the Grasp would stop at the gate, trying to kill the player. If the player stood around there long enough, the Charge they were holding would disappear. Afterwards, the player could go back to the normal area, and the Grasp would then follow the player around, and never attack any players. (Guildwiki)

heh, that was fun watching about 50 grasps following me at one time when i used a chocolate bunny and they couldnt catch me (50% speed > their 33%)
also was in a district that lost 50-1700 or close to that

It was like that last year too, which shows how little effort they put into the dragon festival.
