Wrong. This still works, i.e much differently than it did in 5.2. The OP is right in his methods, but he skipped a step that makes it much easier. (Only tested it on a mac) Switching off internet as you are ported into the arena. This causes the cast to finish, you to immediately die, AND be ported out. However, there is still a bug here that allows you to get credit when you are ported out. No one will enter for two minutes, you will be unable to press release, but it still requires split-second timing. On Alliance, Bizmo makes two loops as he is waiting to teleport people in. I usually press the Character stuck button right as he is beginning his 2nd loop, and turn off internet at the 2.5 loop mark, turning it on as soon as the cast finishes.
If all goes well, you should hear them announce your name, you be ported out, and lying on the ground dead. You should be unable to click the release button, and people will be unable to rez you until you get credit.
All this does is open the window wider for the exploit mentioned by the OP, and doesnt take as much luck as it did before. Good Luck!
