This is in no way a complaint merely just a thought. However I was wondering since the addition to allow people to be ported to the port in NPC for t6 zones as opposed to having to walk across the zone if having cleared both zones completely. Would it be possible to just allow it to port us directly into the zone?
Overall it ends up with the same result (you being ported to the zone) but it cuts out one zone. As it stands while the port to NPC is convenient it doesn't really help me any and in general its probably still safer/faster in the long run for me to walk.
The reason being my situation is that generally I end up 6 boxing, and I rarely use the guild hall. The reason being that I don't have a donor guild hall porter item so I can't go directly there, and I can't bind in the guild hall/gate to it. Also don't have the stillmoon dropped guild hall porter, but at 10 seconds a cast I would not use it for time reasons.
The NPC giving the better port in the guild hall gives me incentive to use it, however it opens up the issue of extra zones. In order to use that NPC I must gate to the forest, then walk to the NPC and zone into the guild hall. After this I use the NPC to port myself to skyfire then talk to the NPC in skyfire to port into VP.
So in order to take advantage of the new port to VP I must go through 3-4 zones depending if I start in forest or not before reaching my destination. Versus if I were to just use the normal zones porter in forest it would take me 2-3 again depending on if I start in forest.
Now while the extra zones don't seem like a huge deal, when you are boxing a large group zoning in general is a hit or miss kind of thing. Some days I have no issues, some days half my group times out/crashes mid zoning. As a result generally speaking I will take the route that requires the least amount of zoning because if I have to walk a few more feet, its going to be faster than reloading 3 characters.
TLDR : Any way to allow straight port to VP/Fear if flagged as cleared the zones instead of to the NPC causing an extra zone. Also any chance the normal zones teleporter could recieve the same functionality as Lix?
Again I am content with the way it is, if thats the way it must stay then np. Just a convenience thing.
