Nice try but it's still annoying. When I cast my own Primary Anchor Ring spell a popup confirmation window comes up and I have to click it to follow through on the port. Now one could argue that this is because the spell-casting icon does NOT tell me WHERE I'm headed, unlike zone-specific port spells which tell you in their name. But GATE spell is the same way and there is no confirmation box for GATE.

Furthermore, some group ports can port group members to dangerous locations where they can get killed, such as druid rings where the groupmember is KOS to the local druids, like in the Karanas. There are also ports to dangerous zones where it's possible that aggressive mobs are pathing by the port-in spot, whether naturally or having been pulled there by other players.

There is NO reason to have a confirmation box for self-ports to anchor spots. If I decide to cast my anchor RING spell then I should remember where I planted the anchor.

Group spells, we can argue the situation. But given that no group ports or evacs give members a chance to cancel out of the transportation, I think this popup window is unnecessary. I guess I'm speaking like a true "multi-boxer" who has to click a confirm box for each member of his boxed group! ;)

How when you cast this everyone in the group gets a popup confirmation window requiring a response, EVEN THE CASTER! This doesn't happen with group port spells, and what's the difference?

The difference is that group spells go to safe spots in a zone (like a druid circle), where as this spell could bring you to a home city you are KOS in, or an unsafe spot in a zone. The pop up box allows for some to reject the port and others to take it. Not a bad way to port some and let the druid stay. I use them mostly so a me or another toon can port out to sell while others keep the group going, and then I just port/gate back.
