Hang on, all this argument is just about PORTALS basically...
idk about you but I'm all for freedom of movement to designated "DEFAULT" TP locations... no matter who you are
I'm saying that as a non-pirate.
All in all, it just means that ppl actually have a use for their Portal Book again (PROPERLY) without having to use Portal Save Slots to just have a place to go in each region or whatever that has neutral guards to kill'em...
Like, Neutral guard system is meant to """prevent""" or dissuade fighting, not KILL YOU on the spot
DDD
and Honestly if you weren't meant to port in, then they should make it so that your portal on the arriving location end is attacked by the guards and made unusable at the entrance. Maybe a complicated system but it would be funny
And the Guards outside of those places, like trade hand-ins? Sure, leave things as they are (whatever it is), but at port ins... change it. IF THEY CAN...
See what Sjinderson said about future patch content:
We don't add future content prior to the patch correct. It would cause a lot of complications later down the road so it is avoided all together
All in all, changing it doesn't harm much of the player base sitting in their factions, while being a small QoL change for those who can benefit from it. I don't see what the massive outrage of reactions we've seen here is all about.
