Please keep the portal toward the eastern side of the Garden, because wen you pull it to the West side people on chains get portaled when you bring them back to town fallen. Meaning sometimes they get portaled off as soon as they're risen with one pixel of health back to CD -- where they're likely to fall again.
So stop moving the portal to the west side of the garden. Just because your lazy ass can't click run for 30 more feet, doesn't mean the portal should be closer than the 3rd or 4th pillar in the garden. (In fact I think it should be no closer than the edge of the pool.)
This has been a public service announcement from the Citizens for the Sensible Placement of the Portal.
