I think the translocators are perfect the way they are implemented now. I agree that it is a "timesink", but one of the results is that it increases the value of teleports. (For the record, I play an enchanter. I still think it's a good idea.)
I wouldn't change it. I don't agree with pointless timesinks, but given the teleportation implications, it doesn't seem pointless to me.
Lastly, there is an argument about server population. There aren't enough druids and wizards porting to even buy a port if you need one. It's true right now:
/ all druid 29 50
returns like 8 results. Yes maybe some are ANON.
/ all druid 1 29
results cut short because there are many more of them.
I think when a large number of our server's druids get up into the 30s, then finding a port won't be a huge issue. We'll see.
