You can still file a petition even if you don't know exactly who is doing the griefing. i don't know whether GM tools can determine ownership of pets/pseudopets, but there are other methods of finding the culprit.

Petition anyway. At the very least the GM's should be able to check the server logs for the player name of whoever dropped the portal at that location.

And yes, it's amusing to think of it in an abstract way, but I can well imagine it being VERY annoying when it happens to you.

It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

Happened to me last night, only I didn't realize it until after the zone had finished loading. Took me a second to realize what must have happened. I was able to carefully click around it the second time, but it definitely shouldn't be allowed.

At the very least, petitioning will likely increase the priority of fixing it mechanically.

I'm not quite sure how it's going to get 'broken' because of this, but fully expect the O-portal to get broken over that grumpy-ness.

Just use the door on the boat adjacent. Had the same problem last night and some helpful soul in broadcast (I know, right?!) told us about the door on the boat trick.

I thought that the Casters name was on the portal, like all other "pets".

I think that Phantasm character was the one that dropped the Portal.
I could be wrong though.

There I was between a rock and a hard place. Then I thought, "What am I doing on this side of the rock?"

I laff'd. Agree that it's annoying, but still... lulz.

My question. Are they doing this to grief, or just exiting a mission and throwing up the portal to his PI, which is where you go on the second mission of the STF.

If that was the case, then the portal would leave when the caster went through.

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?

Forumites should help spread this around. Most of the people I play with don't look at the forums.

Definitely griefing. This was happening on Virtue too, with the person recasting the portal each time it expired. Sometimes there was also more than one portal.

EDIT: BTW my ideal fix for this is for the Ouro portal to load a transport screen identical to the one when you actually get inside Ouro, with one of the options being Ouro itself. That way you could warp directly to whatever zone instead of having to go to Ouro, then warp to the next zone. I always wonder whether the game servers take a hit from us zoning around like that, but regardless it would save us a loading screen.
