It also appears the pyramids are not working for leaving a zone. (hopefully this was not intentional). When I drop a pyramid on the ground and then use the waypoint, my party enters the portal and auto-picks up the pyramid. I was under the impression these could be used as Mark/Recall spells to prevent massive backtracking? Everytime I have tried to leave the zone, the pyramid (even on the ground) comes with me.

If this is intended, perhaps the pyramid notes should explain they can't be used like that?
