Now the thread has been deleted and a new one put up. They just figured out the obvious flaw in their implementation. Putting a delay on using portals/waypoints does nothing to address a couple other common PK exploits - the trigger hack using guided arrow and (to a lessor extent) Hydra, Firewall, etc.
I'd think a better fix would be to have the hostiler's game pause for five or ten seconds before hostility kicks in. (And to have the hostile sound go off immedately for the victims, so they know what they are up against.)
Kinda clueless on Blizzard's part, but they may not have been able to make a proper fix server side. And the players were a bit naive in trusting that this would prevent the trigger hack.
