They need to be removed from this iteration of the game. They are just as adverse to the idea of the gameplay as Paladin Bubble + Hearth and Shaman Reincarn. Nothing about them follows the spirit and it promotes literally bad gameplay overall.

I see your point and I believe I fully understand it. I support your idea.
Is the flask the problem or is the dropping group & auto teleporting the problem?

This big time. I think with how dungeons work with a 24 hour lock now, if they removed the “you are not part of this groups instance” thing with dungeons and raids, the flask would be fine. It’s only a get out of jail card due to the removal teleport, right?

Yes, they could bandaid fix by just starting the potion cooldown period (2 mins) when the timer starts.

This enables group leaders to troll their teammates by robbing them of their potion cooldowns with a simple /kick.
The better fix would be to pause the dungeon teleport timer while under the effects of the petri flask.
Or simply disable ghetto-hearthing if anyone is in combat.

petri/port is really the only way to defend against griefing in raids or higher level dungeons. Since there is no appeals i rather keep it in even if it means tanks dying and the raid auto porting out.

I think it’s worth remembering that both the dungeon auto-teleport feature and petri flasks can be used to grief people. If they change how auto-teleport works, it may open new avenues for griefing by finding ways to avoid getting kicked out of a dungeon thereby stopping new people from joining it. Even leaving things as they are, people will be able to grief anyone who can’t afford a petri by pulling extra mobs and then using their own petri.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a solution to propose. Just wanted to highlight this nuance.
