For those not in the know, the Greater Dragonmark of Passage provides Teleport 1/rest (more uses granted via Enhancements).
For those also not in the know, you cannot drag the Dragonmark (feat) itself to your hotbar to teleport the way you would with a scroll or self-cast of Teleport. That is to say, select from a popup.
Instead, you must drag each location to your hotbar and click it to teleport to said location.
The drawbacks are two-fold, up front.
1) It takes up six slots at most. Yes, you can hotswap them, but that takes forever and, really, removes the use that is the Teleport feature -- a way to save yourself time by not having to run from exit to exit in the towns.
2) Misclicks become way more painful for somebody who uses all 10 hotbars. You go to click something next to the TP locations, your mouse jerks, suddenly you're on your way to an entirely different area outside of the quest you were just in.
Yes, you could say "well be more careful with your clicks." That, however, does not remove the fact that, as coded, its functionality is too different from the actual spell to consider that option.
The Royal Guard Mask brings up a dialog just like the spell. Why doesn't the Dragonmark?
