Guild Wars 2

I am unable to use my Airship pass in the guildhall, is this on purpose(and why?) or a bug?

It cannot be used inside of your home instance either. It likely cannot be used inside any instanced area, which I think is likely to be an intentional limitation.

It may have some technical reason behind this limitation, or it may even be disabled in instances due to some potential method of exploitation we are unaware of that they thought of. Or blanket instance disabling of the teleportation item could even be due to being the easiest way of preventing a potential personal story-breaking issue if one were to use it while in a story instance.

Just tossing out ideas for one or more possible reasons for this limitation to be in place as I feel it is likely intentional and not an oversight or bug.

I could be completely wrong and it actually is an oversight/bug, but disabling of the item in instanced areas seems too intentional to me.

Of the various different teleport scrolls, several work from within instances and most do not. The city portal scrolls (created by combining a city-specific ‘essence’ with various other halloween-only items) work almost anywhere; the others only work from the open world.

I’m sure there was a reason originally and almost sure that whoever made that decision forgot to document it and so no one remembers. Thus, the newer items lack the limitation and the older ones are stuck with it, since it’s typically not cost-effective to make minor QoL changes to existing items.

Still, I’d welcome the change for Royal & Airship passes, especially since those cost gems.
