The rule is that you don't set a strict pricing schedule so that the service is accessible and open to both shitty AND big fares. Raiders on blue would hook DaP's up with crazy fares all the time, both plat or items. Stating up front that we charge X plat per level would create less of those big jackpots. Still I think DaP originally spread the 1pp per level idea, but I can't point to who or when it started.

The bigger rule is you don't use the words "tip" or "donation" in your /ooc macros. Those terms imply that the payment is optional, when DaP has always been designed as a for profit service.

The reason for that "CR is always free" line is an indirect way of showing that normal ports are NOT considered free, without looking pushy about it. People know that auctioning porting is generally for money but especially here on green/teal there's been people saying shit like "payment not required but welcome". Saying its free only if you're on a CR removes any doubt without sounding greedy or blunt about it.

Could always just bag your gear and claim you need a port for CR

People do that at times, those people are pathetic cheap asses. Level 60's and raiders on blue tended to be the most reliably big tippers though so it didn't matter that you got a worthless cheapass sometimes. I think many who still play on blue were pretty bummed to see so much dial a port leave, because its an awesome service to have. All the haters don't realize how great the option is, they are just greedy about their stupid little pile of plat, many of them broke as shit and shortsighted.

Everyone that is ported via a DAP member is logged in to a shared ledger. Specifics such as tip girth, cr or non-cr, race, class, eye color and your interpupillary distance are meticulously recorded. A small lock of your hair is clipped discretely. Data such as this is collected in order for Dial-a-Port to provide you with an ever improving ring-to-ring, spire-to-spire experience. There is nothing to be concerned about.

Damnnnnnnn when your own guildy comes in and roasts you on your own post!

Dude what are you even talking about. Let it go

It’s definitely not 1pp per level on the new servers just FYI

0.5pp per level on Green Teal is the norm. Anything less is a cheap a$$ F

CD288.. just saying peeps have 40k already on teal.. some have wayy more.. 1pp per lvl isnt hard to get.. thats what 8 FS wps...

"time" may have value to you, but not the other person, unless you sign an agreement with them before the port then they are obligated to spend nothing
