Especially now that we have Mistlock Sanctuary, the fractal join bug is even more apparent.
If you try to “walk” in, if your party is already inside, you get a new instance. That makes the Mistlock Sanctuary gate completely useless, since in order to join your party inside fractals you have only one choice, which is: go to Lion’s Arch and use the on screen promt to join.
I really hope this bug, which is very old, will finally get a check now with the introduction of the Mistlock Sanctuary.
Thanks.
