Transportation Crystals in Newer Instances

I'm sure many people who run will agree that bringing back instance transportation crystals will make the game a lot better and feel less of a drag. No one enjoys wiping and dying but the worst part is running back to wherever you were in the instance. Some of these instances (COE for example) takes about 5 minutes of running to get back to 5th or 6th boss if the party wipes. Now 5 minutes might not seem like a long time but if you factor in how most runs aren't flawless and there will be more than 1 wipe and if you factor in crashing (which does occur frequently) which kicks you out of the instance if in a full raid, that can be a total of 20-30 minutes of "running-back" downtime; in which we sit around and wait for the healer to run back and do nothing while our buffs run out (some buffs that were paid by real cash since they were purchased from item shop). This is absolutely unneeded and is one of the biggest flaws of the current ini's. The very simple solution to this is implementing transportation crystals like they did in HoS. If they were able to do it for one of the previous instances, why not do it for the newer ones?

This is a suggestion that will definitely make the game much more enjoyable experience for people who run and I'm sure the people who do will agree with me on this subject.

Agreed. Great idea. Sorry you can only post it on the forums where it is sure to fade into obscurity and irrelevance :P

Take transport crystal and afk for 5 minutes for cooldowns anyways.

At least running back gives you something to do

TWMXC makes a good point - there is always at least ONE player in a group who seems to afk after a wipe for longer than it takes to run back lol.

Not everything goes perfectly 100% of the time :p And pillars is another one some guilds dont need 5's for, they mostly just use them because the mobs take that long to clear. It's a long walk from the entrance to last boss pillars as a giant guardian transformation...

My giant guardian usually runs out by 5th boss CoE and I don't re-pop for 6th in case we wipe. Run back is way too long

said it a thousand times just want to voice my +1 to this idea once again...

I hate running back to any boss any instance.. i would rather go afk and get a beer.. eat some food.. take the dog out.. go do some housework... go get the mail... check my email... clean the desk... check my crackbook...do a load of laundry... start the dishwasher....write a book... read a book... pay some bills... play with my kid....balance my checkbook... or hell just get up and stretch my damn legs for a minute or two... rather than run back to a boss....

my sanity would say thank you for transport crystals tyvm
