I think this issue could be a higher priority to fix now, due to the following cases having sprung up.

*Windstorms now drain health. This exploit allows a player to get all the way through all 4 screens of a wind shelter placement mission while taking 0 damage.
*Lieutenant towers are now huge megarooms. The way lieutenant towers work currently, they are a very large challenge that must be overcome in a single attempt. Greater teleport allows this challenge to be circumvented with no risk to the player.
*Freefall caves & Lava escape missions's risk can be completely mitigated this way as well.

Although this exploit works anywhere, these scenarios highlight the worst cases I've seen. Not going to lie, I've used it to get past those blade traps in the lieutenant towers.

I just tested this with /Lesser/ Teleport, and fortunately this issue isn't happening there. (Not tested rigorously - just on one character and one map type, not inside a mission.)

Thanks!

* Previously there was an exploit whereby Greater Teleport could be used to move you around while you were still invincible. Fixed so that using it now makes you non-invincible.
