Just dropping by to say the general consensus on the IC porting change seems to be that it's great that players can no longer poof out of a fight, yet it's also annoying that we are unable to queue into other activities while carrying 100+ telvar.
Most people seemed to agree the below was a better way to handle it.
1) You cannot port out of IC while in combat
2) Porting out of IC at any other time (without using a sigil) costs half of your carried telvar, the same as dying
