WW Portal, and balancing Dragon vs Giant faction

Being on Giant faction, we have to port in to WW whenever we raid DHK. This is the only near-by port, and there are no mansion portals anywhere close. We usually lose at least 15 minutes, usually more, due to people dying either on port in to the hard-hitting mobs (wurms, dragon, drakes, wolves) that wander by there, or while running to DHK due to the invis-seeing drakes.

People on Dragon faction raid StormKeep, which has the Faentharc portal very close by and is completely safe, and Storm's Eye which can be accessed from Great Divide. The druid portal in GD is completely safe, and the Wizard portal only has low-level non-see invis giants wandering around. Even without invis it's an easy run through the giants to East Wastes, and a completely safe run through EW to SE. Additionally, both SK and SE aren't too far to run from the Thurgadin portal.

I was wondering if the staff would consider modifying the port-in to Western Wastes to be more safe, either my moving the port in site or changing the wandering paths of mobs.
 
I fully endorse this. WW is a retarded zone, and having the port-in share the same point as wanderers and see-invis roamers is just a horribly bad idea.
 
And god forbig you are ON dragon faction. Can only get to your faction base with a port or a lot of luck.
 
although i don't mind my allied dragons wandering around near port-in, those worm-things and wolves that aren't on any faction will occasionally wander by and kill me while i'm still zoning in, and if not, i always put up a quick invis before they can wander by and kill me.

so i am also in favor of the WW port being altered in some way to either eliminate the wanderers from the area, or moving the port-in to an area without wanderers. since i believe the entire zone is chock full of wanderers, it'd probably be best to just make the current port-in a "no-mob" area.
 
Not all of us have enough time to become ally the next day. I have been Dragon aligned for months but am only amible still.

If you have some suggestions for faction building besides giant and storm giant heads, let em roll man.
 
Considering WW is a much harder zone now than when the port was put in, yeah, I'll move it somewhere safer.
 
Just wanted to say thanks for the new portal to WW in mansion, I didn't see the thread about it. That helps a lot ! :toot:
