[Cloudrest Normal] No portal challenge for what?

Sometimes, rare people keep clinging this challenge. But I didn't understand this behavior purpose.
Is there any of a extra reward or something achievement housing item of this?
Because without reward, it's just time wasting. Just go basic ball and spear work, it's not much time difference.
(just tiny....)

Honestly say, I hate doing those type of challenge without reward.

It's faster and doesn't require people to do the portal mechanics. That said, its way riskier and requires damage. There is no reward, it's just people wanting to do the trial that way either because they think it'd be better for the run or because they think that's just how Cloudrest is done now (vCR+0 no portal has become increasingly common).

OK no reward, just only for speed running. Well....

Regardless common or not, forcing these method against PUG team is quite bad Leader's usual.
Ignore situation control, go mono tactics, and shut down own brain. and keep saying like this...

"please no portal" "please no portal" "please no portal" "please no portal" <-- Maybe, brain is sleeping always.

Clinging too much mono idea is simply bad.

It's OK for the first attempting. But once PUG failed it, must switch direction.
Just do it basic style, do portal business, and things done peacefully.
The smart Leader will order against one's team just like that after the twice failure.
Honestly say, there're zero reason to do so in such a short length trial.

After I heard it third times "no portal", I left group for doing other trial mission.
Because, I thought combat never end.

Doing things differently is fun.
Testing yourself (or what your group can do) is fun.
It might not be a default mode for a pug, but bringing some elements of this kind of strats there shows players that there are options besides the basics.
And the fact that it will get few fails doesn't mean that you should stop trying.
