Had he stationed three or four level 62 elites by the teleport stone in the maw (or better yet, be there himself), lots of “maw walkers” will never walk out. Well pallies can always bubble and hearth though lol
I’m willing to suspend my disbelief and just accept that it’s a gameplay choice with a dumb explanation.
We had to have a lore friendly way back? 
or maybe it’s revealed later that it’s the mcguffin lmao
He’s a horrible villain. He doesn’t intimidate, he doesn’t evoke any sense of dread or concern in me… he’s just another big guy who drops the stereotypical “darkness is coming” lines like some mid-dungeon boss.
He makes me roll my eyes if anything.

He is kind of lame in terms of WoW villains. Just a big, bluish, green, human, no shirt having, dork.
You guys are looking at the Jailer all wrong! We dropped into his house, uninvited mind you, while he was unwinding after entertaining other guests. We caught him in his PJs and crocs, reading the daily Maw Minute, and rampaged around acting like a bunch of unschooled hooligans. I mean, the audacity! THE UNMITIGATED GALL!

Why can’t he just cast eye of jailer and kill us in the maw, why does he require me to get him on stage 5 to do so . Also how come he forgets about my presence the next day ?. When it is so obvious that we disappear from his radar when entering Ventare refuge , why can;t he send his army over there and kill ventari and every one .
Yeahhhhh!!!
It’s his plan. Spoiler alert: he wants us to go to the maw and prove ourselves worthy souls. After we fight him, he insta-kills us and reveals he is going to raise us into undeath as his minions, but then Tirion jumps out of nowhere and shatters frostmourne.
Naturally, invincible does not drop.

I mean he could guard static locations but that would mean we’d have to surf between several escape routes instead of the dependable one.
Who ultimately knows, knowing the LK of the past the fact that we smash just about anything that rears its ugly face in the cosmos would be a red flag the Jailer would best heed unless the accursed Banshee has already made plans for us.
I love how everyone is acting like the story is done and over with for the entire expansion. “he’s not scary, he doesn’t do anything” etc etc.
Looking at it from our characters’ point of view (because that’s how stories work), we’re still learning what is going on.
The first part of the expansion is about learning about the covenants, like Suramar was for Legion.
Typically a villain’s entire MO doesn’t need to be explained in the first chapter.
UwU♂♂ 
He probably just doesn’t care. What does it matter if we rescue a few souls here and there or kill some soldiers? It’s nothing to the legions pouring in every moment.
His main interest now is in Anduin for an unknown reason and the larger scope of his to do list. The rest are unimportant, we’re insects nibbling at the edges until we irritate him enough to really get his attention. Then we die.
I think we’re judging him too early though. We just met the guy and there’s a whole expansion of his shenanigans to follow. Not everything is revealed in chapter 1 of a story. It takes time to get to know a person and see how their plans unfold.

He wants Anduins body…
For his own, that is. To possess it so he can escape, of course.

His mom Sylvanas holds his head up while laying in her lap as he looks into her eyes:
“Mother! Is…it…over?!”
“At long last…no jailer, jails forever my son”
“I see, only escapees for me…”

because wow villains are terribly written with the exception of Arthas. We need story writers from FFXIV to save our failing lore. They EXCEL 20/10 in their skills at writing good villains every expansion.

If you had paid even a modicum of attention to the story, you’d know that they didn’t station anyone at the stone because they believed it to be sealed and unusable by anyone.
That would be akin to keeping an armed guard at every playground in the united states.

We’re watching how much he’s drinking. Each tier is closer to get out before he gets too bad. He’s a mean drunk. Takes level 5 for super saiyan to activate. He forgets because blacking out will do that.
We’re solid snaking him and the refuge is our orange box.
