Yes you can … if a bunch report you afk you are gone , even if you are top damage . I actively report Mages who drop portals … it’s funny seeing them kicked out with deserter . You jsut can’t do it before the gates open , but just note the name and spam chat to report them as we start running.

They should keep it tbh, adds another layer of pvp element, one that is potentially fatal in the case of the crater portal (lel literally every class except Dk can survive the fall)
Why do people still click on random mage ports? One time in your entire life should be enough to learn.

i think it would be hilarious that instead of it porting you out and deserter, for a week you simply get a chicken insignia on your prestige marker.
then everyone gets to laugh at you for clicking portal. you’d see entire premades chickening up though…

They’re just arguing for the sake of arguing. The amount of friggin mental gymnastics they’re trying to use to argue against the disabling of portals in PvP zones is laughable.

Fun stuff. I did this when Darkshore warfront first came out. At the end where you have to fly from the dock to the little island. I put a portal and people were leaving the battle before the last boss.
Yay to collective punishment! Thats all i got from you.
Because the fellow mages can’t call each other out in this, can they?
It’s not just mages that do it, no one expects the rogue with toys 
I dont mean to laugh but…
Have you tried not clicking the portals?

Are you intentionally completely ignoring the fact that the portals are being placed over quest givers, food, mage tables, and lock rocks? It’s not always easy to see what you’re exactly clicking in AV either with everyone piled up on top of everything.
Once again, no one should be against this change. It wouldn’t negatively impact anyone.
First thing Monday morning, and we still have people supporting trolling. I don’t have the patience for this crap.

You get a mouse over dialog box to show what you are clicking. If the dialog box says portal then don’t click it. There is enough guard rails in this game to make sure you can’t make a mistakes, like the loss of PvP vendors and master loot.
We don’t need more guard rails for people who make a mistake

PvP vendors don’t have squat to do with mage portals which have absolutely NO place in an instanced PvP setting. Mages DO NOT NEED access to portals in AV. End of story. I’m muting this thread because you people annoy me.

It does actually, blizzard has stated in their Q&As that they removed PvP vendors because they didn’t want a player to choose the wrong piece of gear and feel bad so they forced every one into a rigid PvP path. A form of guard rails so a player won’t make a “bad decision”
So disabling portals in instanced PvP is just another form of blizzard holding players hand holding from making a dumb choice
That’s childish but ok

While I agree that it’s silly that mages can place portals in AV and wouldn’t care if it was removed, you do not NEED a food buff or lock rocks to win. I’ve played hundreds of AVs (my fav bg) in my time WoWing and I can’t think of a single time where an AV was won or lost based on a food buff or rocks. I’m pretty sure anyone that would click a mage port, or fall for “alt+f4” or “type /afk” would definitely help my team lose though.
another one of these threads 
Just don’t fall for anything more, and avoid it completely if they’re putting healthstones, tables, etc by ports. not worth clicking by mistake
