I continue to use this.

This morning I was working the buff for all it's worth - after getting 747
VP in under 2 hours, I'd run out of VP generating things to do without
phasing, so I decided to take a break, and hearthed back to 7 Stars
from the Serpent's Spine area.

To my astonishment, I still had the buff after hearthing.

I've noticed that a couple other things that generate a loading
screen, such as the 'Rolling Game', also leaves the buff intact.

I wonder if it's only loading screens which involve a change of
zone that strip the buff.

BTW: I now have 2 90s, so getting back VotA quickly is a lot
more interesting than when I had only one. I'm logging them
in for the buff exploit Tuesday morning each in alternate weeks.
This lets one play with the buff the entire week, and the other
only loses it briefly.

Same here. Usually I lost my buf when I teleport. But recently the
buff remained after a zone change. I dont know when this started as I
havent had the need for a quick VP cap. This morning I HSed from
Timeless to Shrine and back and I still had the buff.

Hmm.... I wonder if this means that the dailies on Isle of Thunder are
accesible with the buff.

Huh? Ofc they are. I did the daily and weekly this morning before I
started on my weekly lfr raid runs (7/12 titan runestones arghhh..) and
got 375 VPs. After that I ported to Shrine to pick up my coins and
ported back so I could kill the worldbosses and roll a dime. Buff was
still there when I returned. but the buff disappeared when I zoned to
another realm.

Interesting. I lost it the first time I tried it, and haven't tried
again. Next time I have the buff, I'll try again.
