you were able to do this in gw1 and it was never fixed. I cannot speak to if you are intended to be able to do this or not. either way it is pretty wonky and doesn't make sense. imo, being able to do this, is exploiting the system. it is pretty cheap and I think it is pretty obvious that it shouldn't work.
I mean, really, any character, especially an imp mech, flying around on a tiny little helicopter or parrot is completely stupid.
I do hope they look at this and "fix" it so that it causes the game to crash or lock you out for signing in for a day.
you are probably the kind of person that wants to exploit this to get an advantage but would get all bent if someone taunts you after a kill, which was clearly and intentionally coded into the game.
smh. lmao. gg
