Trial issues

I finished the first trial, got to the ascendancy altar was picking up my gear I was full so I made a portal to go back to town and then tried to go back to get my ascendancy skill and was unable to go back through the portal. Now I have to do that whole trial again from the beginning. Really? I have completed the trial I should be able to go back and forth to get my gear. On top of that could you please just get rid of the honor system? Thats just nonsense. I have health and skills that should be what counts during the trial. So when you get to this can you please fix this issue
