So, who thought it was a bright idea to give the Zariche owner access to the rift? You can't PvP them in there and any Zariche owner even when you can see them on the map can easily go in kill people, then if trouble shows simply port to the rift with no problems, at least Clan hall BSOE's cost money, the rift only costs fragments.
Well we know for a fact that you can speak to the ziggurat amd the dimensional door man guy, which is extremely frustrating. So if you have that sword and exp in the first rooms and someone comes after you, just run to the rift where no one can attack you, regen all CP then come out again. Over and over, and over.
when you return from the rift, down you end up in dion? I know it doesnt fix anything, but if that is true, they arent back at their high lvl hunting spot.
No, we were on the PTS fighting the zariche owner in Apostate, he would run to the dimension statue, port in and rest up, then come out and be right where he left us.
