My lvl 16 monky who was over 80% of the way to lvl 17 was pulled out of pre....it sux! Anet gave me the "we r very sry ...BUT, there is nuthin we can do".
So, for my 2 cents...they need to fix this prob. Make it so that both parties have to agree to enter the academy before the timer starts. Its just that simple.
Pre Searing: Please stop it being possible to drag someone (unwillingly) out of pre!

just make it where you cant leave in party. entering into the academy is a solo think. two people and you get a "your party is to large" message. cause if someone is really lagging say with a 56k they may not have time to stop it. stupid crap happens.

I've only read the first few posts, but this is horrible! This is the worst type of scam, the scamer doesn't really gain anything from it do they? So they're just scaming for the sake of scaming... That's very sad.

Why have ANet do something that can be prevented by the player in the first place?
Here's whats going to happen if ANet does implement something to fix this..........
-Everyone complains about being pulled into post
-ANet does something to fix this
-Everyone complains about the fix because now it makes another aspect of the game a problem
-ANet fixes again
-Everyone still complains...........
Damn leave them alone... I'm sure they've got enough to do with EoTN and GW2 on the way.

WTF i would never do that. this post itself proves how much i care about pre. why would i want to ruin it with tomes? GAILE HELP ME! |
/signed to giving Fargus his/her account back.
Thats just not right. You don't ban someone until you have proof that they used an exploit. And even so, if theirs an exploit in the game, you shoulda fixed it before it got abused IMO, so its kinda your fault kkthx
**EDIT**: Okay, I was really angry when I wrote this, now that I have cooled down a little, Im going to say this nicer.
There are irresponsible people out there. They will exploit hacks and bugs. But it IS partly your fault. You, IMO should have people running around looking for bugs, whether they are players or devs matters not. ANd the fact that you banned Fargus regadless of he/she doing good for the whole gw community is...stupid. You should not send emails as serious as this back saying "put this on the forums" you should act then and there. I doubt someone (except for the above poster) would object to a glitch like this being fixed.

Look, I'm not a part of the permapre community either, but that doesn't mean I don't care or will tell them to deal or adapt. Forcing a player into post against their will isn't a minor complaint about an unimportant issue; this is griefing a significant portion of the Guild Wars community just for the sake of being a pain in the ass. The griefer gets nothing but some sort of stupid troll satisfaction from ruining hours, days, weeks, even months of a stranger's hard work. Scammed people at least have the opportunity to get their gold/items back, but permapre characters can't fix the damage done when they're dragged post-Searing.
Besides, now that this is on Guru and being widely discussed on other fansites, word's spreading. More and more copycats with too much time and no respect for the desires/work of others are going to do this. It needs to be addressed.

Like Genofreek already stated, a victim that is scammed outta gold has the chance to rebuild their wealth or can accept donations from guildies and friends that feel bad for them. A kidnapped Perma-pre is forever damaged.
Gaile has already responded a few times in this thread. Anet agrees that this is a serious problem and they will fix.

A fix is defo needed and the best suggestion i've seen up to now is to make the party size (1) for leaving via the quest into the accademy.

I've had a monk in pre for quite a long time wayyyy before a title was implemented, and though I think the title is stupid, I don't think it's funny to drag someone out unwilling.

If you have been playing long enough to make a level 20 in pre, then you shouldn't have a problem keeping from getting screwed over. If it's an easy fix to appease the whiners, then I guess the security would be nice; but if its a pain the butt with manpower and code then leave pre alone. Infact, please leave pre alone alone alone.
Additonally.... if you're going to dork around with pre..... please remove the Legendary Defender Of Ascalon title in pre. This addition has stimulated a great decline in the community there. It used to be much more fun before there was a bunch of nitwitts running around parrotting the phrase "I'm going for title."

When a party is given the option of entering a no-way-back quest, every party member must confirm the motion with no time limit. Because this quest is in a town, and, if one denies a move to accept the quest, the proponent can simply leave the party or kick that one, I can see no successful argument against this necessary precaution. I have a level 12 presearing character and am considering going for the LDoA title.

This is an all time low as far as I'm concerned. And I thought I was sore when I died in UW and this jerk refused to res me, and took my ecto drop!
This is in my opinion the worst exploit yet to surface. Fix it immediately, PLEASE. The most noticeable net effect of this exploit is that no perma-pres are going to join together with any new players to help out, because of the risk of being dragged. That's something they should care about.

i ran into a player by the name of Ggaylord Humperdink today. he was using the search feature and advertising he was "buying all dyes". when i told him i had some dyes to sell him he immediately sent me an invite so he could find me. once i accepted and clicked his name i saw on the mini map that he was by sir tydus. so i just clicked leave party. immediately after i clicked leave party his character disappeared followed by him PMing me with hahahahahahaha you cant go back your stuck here. fortunately i was not dragged into post by him. so just a heads up, people are using different ploys now. ppl like that make me sick.

Im probally not up to date wit the latest Pre stuff but im pretty sure you can just log out while in the Pre-Arena or the quest after and you will be returned to Ascalon (and at one point you could just map travel out of the Areas also.) If things are still the same I dont see any big deal with it, just do one of those to get back to town.
T1Cybernetic
Once you go into the arena all the outposts are removed from your map so you cannot just map out as far as i remember! Even if you close guildwars you will just load up in the arena again once you log back in.

hmm i stand corrected, when did that change? and more importantly why did that change?

What the heck? That's just idiotic, SURELY if one wishes to stay in pre searing (for one reason or another) then they must have the opportunity to close down GW before they beat the charr boss which triggers the cinematic. Isn't that simple to program into GW? The cinematic triggers post searing, and only beating the charr boss triggers the cinematic.

Personally I love this idea. But, only because it opens up a GIGANTIC loophole for achieving LDoA (and the survivor title, possibly). So, of course, it will never be implemented.

People were killing the boss and exiting GW windowed and it would put you back in pre with all quests reset. Which meant people could repeat the quests for xp, and keep doing that to get to 20.
When it got patched it wasn't a listed update, but those who tried that got sent into post automatically for trying to do it again.
Ascalon Runner
Just as it's impossible to get "kidnapped" into postsearing when you lack a secondary profession, joining a party to help a new player should be safe as long as that other player has no secondary profession.Anyhow I agree fully that "kidnapping" a level 19 character for the purpose of killing its chance to obtain the Legendary Defender of Ascalon title has to be among the worst form of griefing possible in Guild Wars if not THE worst so I'm supporting this petition.
Since Gaile Gray has posted numerous times on this thread, aNet is obviously aware of the issue so I expect this issue to be resolved.

There's a simple and practical solution for all of you who have worried about this. Before you invite them to your party, find them on the map. If they aren't standing near Tydus, you can be sure he isn't going to do it. If he does, you can see him on the map if he walks in that direction.
Simple, yet effective.

Until this problem is fixed, just make sure the other person ain't close to Sir Tydus before joining their party. YOu can easily target them in party window before accepting, and if they ain't next to gate, just don't accept. And if you accept and they start running to Tydus, you have 20 seconds worth of timing leaving party.
I'm NOT defending what they do, but until this problem is fixed.. this is still the best solution.
