    No clue, if the spawning portals in maps were free-to-enter or something I could see a point but right now it's just silly and irritating without offering anything extra than the event village portal. Anything at all.

    As suggested before, make the spawn rates a lot rarer but make the entrance through them free. Right now the portal farming part that kept Tarlok entertaining is dead.

    I find them totally pointless too...I mean, during the Goblin Event the mob portals used to be the only way.
    But then a glitch was found and then the portal in the event zone was added, now I find the portal from mobs to be just irritating rather then useful.

    Aside from introducing new players to the game, the portals are not doing much

    Psstt ..

    The portal from mobs gives you higher chance to meet large token bosses

    It happens to me when im met Ursoth on my 3rd chance to use energy on start of the event (still on 45 event point)

    And yes, i do have screenshot

    I honestly think its just to promote the event and tempt people to use plat to go in it...

    I run to at least one every run :\ should make spawns same or less and make it freeeee :3

    I'm so glad you posted this. I've wondered the same but keep forgetting to post. Maybe someone from stg will explain it in this thread but at this point it just seems silly.

    We significantly reduced their frequency to reduce the possibility of annoyance to our more veteran players.

    There is no difference between going through a portal that spawns from mobs or going through the portal in Elondria.

    Pls don't let them spawn at the elite heart thing at ashral tower, we we're completing it and sometimes you opened a portal (by accident) and you were killed.

    It would be fun as all heck if something came through the portal from the other side and scared the bejeebers out of people!

    It would be nice if we could destroy them like hauntlet canons. Keep 'em if you want to use it, get rid of it if it is in the way. Everyone happy.
