Umm... unless im mistaken, you do not get access to the Travel Boat until you reach the consulate docks mission.

It's a bug, my guild leader did this the other night. That's how people are getting to lvl 20 without a secondary profession.

You don't understand what he's saying.
You don't have to go to the temple of balthazar either.

1. Start a new Nightfall character.
2. Do mission until you can get to Kamadan.
3. in Kamadan, there is a small dock area behind First Spear Dahvid. On the dock (not the consulate docks), there is a Canthan Guild Hall dude. These are the folks that can show you guild halls to buy.
4. Go to any one.
5. Usually you have to go to the other side of the hall and talk to the other Canthan Ferryman. When you speak to him, at the bottom of his list will be an option that says "Take me Back to Lion's Arch"

Now you can travel from LA and then easy mehnlo quest to factions and you have all three unlocked by level 2 or 3 with no secondary.

Been that way for a very long time, and doesn't take a genius to figure out. You really think they don't know about it already?

Many people don't, don't be so rude about it Cherno.
But if they did know, why haven't they fixed this?

Cherno · May 22, 2007, 12:35 AM // 00:35

Not being rude. It isn't about other people knowing, it is about anet knowing.

So why hasn't it been fixed? Why fix it?
What harm does it cause?
You could become level 20 without a secondary. That really only limits yourself or affects the way you respond to Fingers of Chaos as far as I know. Fingers can be circumvented by /Me, /A, /P, /D or /Rt so no new exploit there.

You can't use it to bypass requirements in the land in which you were born.

You could have access to elites that you couldn't get yet (from Factions or Tyria) but you can do that now through a combination of tomes and balth faction anyway.

So the question could be armor could be a problem. Higher level or max level armor very quickly. This problem already exists in ferries to the docs and existed long ago with the introduction of Factions (run to LA, quest, boom armor.)

There is really no reason to patch this up. But hell they could still wind up doing it. It isn't out of the ordinary for them to "fix" something harmless and ignore other issues. In any case, I suspect the reason that it still can be done is because they view it as a non-issue or it isn't high on a priority list, not because they aren't aware.

LOL, well leave it to Anet, the indeed did decide to "fix" this with the last update.
