Guild Wars 2

We were told that the gauntlet and it’s challenges (Liadri) would remain until September 3rd, however now there are other events overriding this. The only way to get back to finish Liadri would be to grind through all of Vorpp achievements and PvE zerg in order to finish in time for another attempt and the gauntlet. This is 100% a forced grind because they took away something they promised would remain until we finish this new content beforehand.

EDIT: Quote from a dev

Paul Belz.7351:

Scarlet has locked the arena down and is in there now doing mean things

If you help Vorpp reverse engineer the portal you can go in and kick her out, which will let you get back in to the arena proper.

And from Dulfy.net – “Queen’s Gauntlet area is closed off until you finish Vorpp’s achievements and do the final story instance.”

Note, you can have someone pull you into the playhouse even without touching the Vorpp achievements yourself (assuming they have done it). I can’t say whether this opens the pavilion to you afterwards, though I suspect it does.

Thank you for this tip, however exploiting (in a sense) should not be required to play content that was noted to stay until a certain date. This patch was full of miscommunications

It’s not -really- an exploit of a sense or otherwise because it’s mentioned you can do so on the guide Anet posted for the event.
