I've never designed a map which I would mind anyone using WoR
to get out of. Never.
If you want someone to be unable to use WoR, make it a map attribute.
It's just too handy a convenience. Playability of crossfire goes
*way* down if players have to go home manually.
Suppose I have to leave the game suddenly? The last save would usually
suck, and saving in the curent map could bring me back in a *high* risk
situation.
The answer? WoR.

I designed that map. All you have to do is drop a little something
where the crystal was, to disarm the trap.
I do NOT care if someone WoR's out of it!
In fact, I consider it perfectly valid. If not, I would have
no-magicked the place. Climbing all the way out of that dungeon
was too much of a hardship, in my opinion as designer.
But clever of you to spot the Raiders similarity of that map:
the movie was the inspiration for it.
