EJ evacs/ports from KC pay well.
OT pays reasonably well.
Ports from BB rings do not generally pay well (more lowbies, corpse runs to WC, they get lost looking for you too) :p

Lots of people want from ports to EC, I find it annoying to have to run from the WC rings each time but I'll do it occasionally if nobody is asking :p

Which one are you? I've started using Dial-A-Port and it's a great idea but if I knew I was getting ported by you I'd either tip you extra or totally stiff you, you have no way of knowing which

If you want to try to make plat porting, port from Overthere or Ocean of Tears and port during off peak hours when porters are harder to find, though you can make more plat per hour camping things like Shralok Bags, DA Idols, Hero Bracers, Ring of Shadows, Root Nets, Red Wood Wands and Hill Giants.

Strongly agree with Ravager. If you want to make money, camp something. Porting is more about meeting folks and helping people out than it is about cash. Half the people you port will be naked.

Surge pricing!

Meeting people? I don't remember the last time someone sent me a group invite because I ported him one day.

I tried Dial and they demanded 150p min for a DL+Evac to EJ... wtf man. Waited 10 more mins and someone else did it for half price.

Though, if I was a druid, Id do the same thing.

I am not sure who did that, but I never charge a minimum price. I am more than happy to do free ports or cheap ports, and advertise that. Sorry you had a bad experience >.< Apparently, we don't all share the same views. Send me a tell anytime and I'll happily port you for a lesser price! =)

150pp for a DL port + evac seems fair to me. If a power leveling druid is worth 2k-3k an hour, how is someone porting you to DL, running with you to karnors, porting to EJ, and medding for 10 minutes afterwards only worth 150? That's 20-30 minutes of dicking around to help your needy ass out.

You're cheap and inconsiderate.

Also, just get a port to DL, run to karnors and find another porter. Christ, you're needy.

MaksimMazor 04-08-2014 10:46 AM

If it takes a Druid 30 minutes to port you to DL then evac you to EJ, you're doing it wrong.

bomaroast 04-08-2014 10:53 AM

Very few people send you a tell about a port and then show up for said port immediately. You usually stand around for a couple minutes waiting. Also, pre 50 med is much slower than post 50. 600 mana is sizable for a level 40'ish druid to med back. Do the math.

Perhaps 30 minutes if pushing it, but 20 minutes is reasonable.
