Hi y'all

I recently posted on the bug forum about an apparent bug that lets you send your heroes into a portal and as soon as they touch the portal they respawn at your location. This appears to be a solution, one Anet probably done on purpose so that u can't make heroes do your running. This "solution" however isn't good enough.. Faer, a "bug tester" apparently closed the thread stating that :

This is not a bug. It is a mechanic that was introduced to the game deliberately by ArenaNet some months ago to stop players from "cheating" on Cartographer titles, and possible other aspects of the game, by sending their Heroes/Henchman through the portal and then using a variety of skills to hop right past the portal and into the next area.

Fair enough.. Then, if this isn't a bug.. this isn't an exploit either..

You could simply get them to run with u, stick them out of range and then unflag them back into range of xp, there is no advantage from doing this ur way than doing it normally.

maybe.. but for troll farming, a non running prof like monk or mesmer will definately get avacaras glued to them.. also if you're used to farming the trolls than this is even easier and involve less trial and error in getting the heros past the avacara without aggroing etc..

Faer is right, it was placed in the game to prevent a much more serious bug. This is laughable, because heroes level ridiculously quickly anyway. I'm honestly curious how much time you spent doing this, because you could have spent it elsewhere.
The bug in question involved placing recall on a hero and then flagging the hero through a portal (the hero doesnt activate the portal, he just runs straight through), and then you stopped maintaining recall. You could then run around outside the level, gaining exploration titles without the hassle of enemies.

Yes that would be pretty unfair if they didnt arrange that bug. However this is one way i could imagine the current behaviour being implemented. It is obviously less of a "bug" than it used to be. This didnt take any time at all.. just a quick recording and movie maker.. is kinda fun though..
