They aren't and never were meant for leveling, that's what core Tyria is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos.4263 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Even without the 1h cool-down, how long does it take to do this? You've still got to go through the initial story and run around the whole map...20 minutes?I might just try it out to time it using regular teleport to friends, of which i have far too many kicking around and wouldn't mind monetizing. But i suspect i'll get bored in a hurry for a chance at a single key. I just don't see how this is a significant exploit. The timer is too long on that device anyway.

You should disable the item that caused the problem please. Those of us that dont exploit are being punished because now we cant get charges or the chance at a key. Disable the problem not the charges. Another thing you didnt disable the other map completion rewards and they were spamming those also, why not disable those too?It was only disabled for 2 days. I almost-completed 3 maps yesterday. I just left one Vista open on each map and finished them today after the patch. No problem at all...The only thing I wished Anet had done was sending players a message ingame. btw, I did the three Vistas today and therefore completed three zones and got no key. Did you get Transmutation Charges? Black Lion Chest Keys don't drop 75% of the time. (Or, in my case, about 95% of the time.)Yes, I got transmutation charges. And I just completed another map and got a key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timer is too long on that device anyway.Still faster than going through the first 10 levels worth of story for a BLC key and that was abused enough to limit to one per week.I agree that the cooldown makes this device useless for many people. I would think that eliminating map rewards from Living World maps for characters below level 80 would be a sufficient fix but no doubt there are other exploits I haven’t thought of. As @Turkeyspit.3965 said, these people are why we can’t have nice things. :unamused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aetheldrake.6395 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 there are a lot of situations where you would rather just teleport right to a meta than go through all the travel. plenty of situations where there's only like 1 or 2 people that need help and you offer to help, boom youre there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got transmutation charges in the first 3 maps and a key in the PoF map. Looks fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrongly understood the "Living World" as Open World (including low level maps in Tyria).Sorry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently, people were using the teleport device to TP new and low-level characters to map points on the high-level maps, smurfing them though map complete for the rewards.
