Resplendent - Wilderness Bug (can someone confirm?)

Sorry if this is in the wrong place,

2 things here. I was on the quest to find Shito (or something, the playwright who's "in the caves to the East") when I decided to jump into the Wilderness for that little extra explorer percentage. First thing I noticed is that the artwork on the mini map for the portal is off by a little. You can actually walk through the mini-maps 'portal' and still be in the Resplendent side.
Anyway, the more important bit. When coming through from the Resplendent side to the Wilderness side, firstly, there are some enemies that spawn just to the right of you that seem to disappear for no reason.
Secondly, the Elder Skree's that are in a line (just past the Whispers informant on the right) don't actually attack you, they just move around a bit and even run past you to the Resplendent portal, then stop there and do nothing in particular. Seriously, I killed about 5 of these level 20-odd monsters with my staff alone (thought it would be funny).

I'm an E/Mo R3 Lightbringer who has completed NF if that makes any difference.

Upon further inspection, if you bear a right out of the resplendent - wilderness portal, you can go all of the way up to the Djinns without getting attacked. Also, the beasts around there (I'm really sorry, I can't remember their name and can't get back on now to check, they look like lizards) seem to move in a horizontal line left to right. Kinda military-ish in its execution, like they are marching.

Can somebody else confirm this please as I'm 99.999% sure that this wasn't lag or anything else client-side

EDIT: Now with pics!!!

Me and the Skrees having a portal picnic




Definitive proof that even the most hated of foes can come together at Wintersday.




BTW, these guys just sit there while you attack them and are level 28....Uber leet EXP!!!!

Sorry to be a naysayer, but I used that portal over and over during my vabbi chest runs and boss farming on green weekend... never had that good of luck (i hate skree)

thats the portal between the two explorable areas, right? Leaving out of D.Bastion or H.Hill...? I know for a while, there was a ranger boss who had that bug... the one with the 15%/-10 2020 longbow... starts with a "Z" and its not improbable that the bug happens again...?

It's coming out of Honor Hill. Funny, I can reproduce this again and again, its definitley a character thing as after exploring more, pretty much all (there were tiny exceptions) of the Elder Skree's were running to that portal and standing there, some 'jumped through' i.e disappeared. Is anyone else getting this, or the other bug mentioned where as soon as you jump in, some NPC's spawn then disappear?

It's part of a quest, where you have to kill some Skree leaders if I'm right. After this, all skree in the area will flee, and exit the area through this portal. Some scripting error in your case I suppose.

Hmmm..well I have logged out and in since then and it still does it. Scripting errors rule.

I just assumed it had something to do with a quest i had, but I also saw groups of skree just running through the portal.

it's not quest based for all i know, did some quest and chest runs there but there always some walking to that portal and eventually leaving, however when i fought them they would usually run away or fight back.

I encountered this before I knew about the quest to assassinate the Harpie Leaders.

As did I, it seemed to still be there. As previously mentioned, I'm on the quest to find a playwright for Prince Bokka.
