Just a side note here:
Thanks duck.he for the short cut hint. I will say during the last Rose maze, the very first night or two the maze was up, one of the mazes enabled you to go straight down the side of the maze to the end. (Only for a bit late that night) It made for quick mazing, which enabled us to actually get enough "friends" through to get a duck and bunny each.
However, there was a person standing at the end of the maze harassing anyone who cut through. The sad thing is, I could tell by the "chat" that this person was an adult. They had one player, who I know was a child, beside herself telling the little girl she would be banned from the game for "cheating", etc. Their character title seemed like a clone, so my guess is the real person was hiding behind that character while behaving like this. I tried to tell her there were better ways to spend time in game than standing in the maze harassing other players, to no avail.
Just my opinion on this...if there are bugs in the maze, enabling us to cut through and it saves some of us much needed time (or makes it easier on the fingers) then so be it. If they are really intent on it, they will change it around. So, if my little fairy can speed through, I will give it a try!
