Intro
Hi everyone,
This will be a suggestion that will get a lot of hate because people can’t do one of the most fundamental things in this game, Jumping. I am not saying that some of these aren’t hard.
This is a sad thing. And what makes it even more sad is that people rely on mesmers and thus skip content to get the reward in a matter of seconds
.
I don’t like the mesmer portal being a lot more superior compared to any kind of teleport (shadowstepping and such) because they allow other people to reach locations unreachable by any other means (walking, a few jumps, other teleports) BUT this is another issue.
Actual suggestion:
- Portal free zones in jumping puzzle areas.
- Or anything that lowers the reward for using this method. (Debuff for example – Any chest rewards less for x amount of time after using portal)
Reasoning:
- Achievements. Great that people achieve things without doing the slightest effort. Oh ye wait, they type in chat asking for mesmers. If you can’t do it you shouldn’t be rewarded.
- Future T7 stuff or better rewards in general. It’s nice we will get these from JP’s and stuff but at the moment you could actually just drop a daily chest for free on the same spot because there won’t be any effort given by those that use a mesmers portal. Alt parking is fine (because you had to get there first anyway)
- Even though it will be frustrating to some people, almost every JP is actually permanent. You can try it out whenever you want. Use them to practice jumping because jumping is an important aspect of the game!
- It takes away the feeling of achievement.
- People do complain about portallers :p because they try to do it legit.
- Portallers do somehow ruin the fun in completing puzzles for certain people.
The future rewards should be the most important reason for portal free zones
Other suggestions I saw at reddit and somewhere:
- Remove any skills when you enter such a puzzle ( sadly we have hostiles in some JP’s)
- Remove utilities
I do expect a lot of hate and disapproval. Even friends of mine don’t like the fact they need to be able to jump. It will take an effort and that will make those lazy people here rage
But try to keep things civilized.
