Bug: Rapids Everywhere!

A while back, Rapids was fixed so it didn't hit others not in your group. Now, every time I turn around, I have some form of Rapids on (especially bad with the event). Is this going to be corrected again? Soonish? Please?

    I kind of enjoy getting the free rapids without having to have it slotted. Especially since the event involves so much running around.

    This is a bug I do not wish to be fixed. The only bug I don't want to be fixed.

    I like getting Rapids from others, but I do wish they would fix the problem of it being purgeable. Nothing like trying to get rid of a cold fire burn, but your purge cleanses Rapids instead.

    It is true. Apparently, this bug has resurfaced.

    I'd rather they fix when rapids falls off earlier than it should for no bloody good reason. Frickin annoying to be going slow as molasses for no reason whatsoever.

    I really miss when it was bugged and you could get rapids from a group member across the map. It made it nice for catch up with group in Cyrodiil. I also just miss getting rapids if you aren't in group - it's an incentive for ball groups in Cyrodiil to avoid pug surfing because their mobility becomes unreliable when randoms can start soaking up your rapids and root immunity.

    What reason would you possibly have to not want Rapids shared? It's a bug that's nothing but beneficial to the playerbase. I hope they just leave it this way.

    If you want it, get it and use it. Other players that don't want it shouldn't have to deal with it. I don't enjoy being hit with rapids at the wrong time and plunging to my death off some high point.

    That's because it's being considered a negative effect so it can be purged by Templars, warden, or pvp skill line purge.

    Let's read the skill description :

    Mobilize your forces, granting Major Expedition and Major Gallop to you and your allies, increasing Movement Speed by 30% and Mounted Speed by 30% for 30 seconds.
    Also grants immunity to snares and immobilization.
    The effect ends if you cast any spell on an enemy or an ally.

    Up until the last patch the only effect that was removed was the immunity to snares and immobilizations, not the major expedition/gallop buff. I've used it thousands of times in combat and farming and never had it purged until this last patch.

    This not true. Give me the date of your last patch and i'll find you video footage older than that showing how it has always been.

    (i've been providing Retreating Maneuver for my guild group in Cyrodiil for the past 6 months)

    You are probably thinking of the Minor Expedition buff from Charging Maneuver :
    Mobilize your forces, granting Major Expedition and Major Gallop to you and your allies, increasing Movement Speed by 30% and Mounted Speed by 30% for 30 seconds.
    Also grants immunity to snares and immobilization.
    The effect ends if you cast any spell on an enemy or an ally, but you gain Minor Expedition, increasing your Movement Speed by 10% for 8 seconds.
