Please allow people who have bought the permanent airship pass to log out on the airship and log back in there. The way it is now if you log out on the airship the game tries to log you in on the airship. This takes a normal zone loading screen. Then when it notices you are on the airship it then loads the zone that the airship is hovering over. It loads then twice as long as a normal load. Then if you wanted to go to the airship you would have to load that again.
I know it was done this way because you have the 2 week temp pass and the one-time pass. You could do a check to see if that player, that logs out on the airship, has the permanent pass and leave their location logged as the airship. The other people who just have the temporary passes you can set their location to the drop off point on the zone the ship is located over. Then you won’t have the double loading of a zone, and would be able to clear the people off the airship that only have the temp passes.
The airship is the only place that I know of that you can’t log back into that is a city or normal playable zone. There may be others besides the wvw, pvp, and dungeons. I try not to log out of the game on the airship, but it happens often for me, and I loath the long loading of the zones. I purchased this pass with real money so I expect some consideration of this inconvenience. There are times when I would like one of my alts to log into the airship and use what I payed for on the account. I shouldn’t have to go to the bank every time and swap the pass to each character that I want to.
Now I know this would take a few programming checks at every log out or in to see if your character is in a specific zone, but this would make the game more fluid. This would be a small programming task, and could be finished in a short amount of time.
