I was in Mezzamere (Nazjatar), and an alliance faction member used the toy Sliver of N’Zoth to start killing lower levels. A few of us banded to take them out. However, they ran to the Boralus portal and was able to take it back to the city. We followed and the rest of the city attacked, however, they stayed in the portal room and when their health go low enough just took the portal out of Boralus and back to Nazjatar.
It seems like Portal use shouldn’t be allowed in combat at all. More so, since the Sliver of N’Zoth allows you to become an enemy of your normal faction, but still part of the faction you can use the portals in what feels like an exploity manner.
If it wasn’t for the portalling back and forth the player would have been taken care of a long time ago.
STR
1.) Use N’lyeth, Sliver of N’Zoth toy in Mezzamere (alliance)
2.) get into combat
3.) Use the portal to Boralus
4.) Fight in Boralus
5.) Portal back to Mezzamere
6.) Rinse and repeat annoyingly.
stun them? idk what to say really. This has been in the game for a very very long time.
I don’t think I’d call that an exploit, but creative. Some of the most fun in PVP is just irritating people and sounds like they had a blast at your expense.
I imagine the portals are usable in combat on purpose so people could have a way out of the zone during the PVP event. Just a guess though, I tried to avoid the zone best I could during BFA.

I love that toy because you can grief ppl and understand what they say.
Its only usable in wm and idk why you in wm in naz at this point but you can just turn it off and your problem is solved
The issue isn’t about the toy itself but rather the intended mechanics of war mode while engaged in combat. My overall issue is that I don’t think the combat design of a PVP encounter (whether it be war mode, a duel, this toy) should somehow have a “load screen” halfway through, by allowing portals in combat.
I enjoy war mode for what it was meant to accomplish, but I don’t think this feels intended design, so the solution of just “turn it off” here doesn’t feel like the answer.
