I think that was mostly becase the bears didn't have a clue who they wanted to attack.

When they held the "raccoon" PVP event, it took 3 hours for 3 people to make a half hour journey because of desyncing, crashing, and 20+ minute "loading entities" time after desyncing and crashing.
Lies - go back to WOW and Darkfall - I have been in an area with loads of people and bears and it did not lag - get a new PC
(Troll much? Yes)
the primary issue with the racoon even (yes it did take 3 hours to cross 6 zones) was the zone crashing bug...which is supposedly fixed.
crash every zone + 5-15 (was 30 mins in one case) time to relog in (gotta love loading entities) and voila. there's your travel time. for the record we never saw a racoon, or a player (we were going there to protect the racoons), only a guide who said it was over and disappeared...so we jumped off cliffs and logged off.
