If there was no DaP guild, I could still find a port 24/7.

Maybe this is true, but I don't really think so. I remember trying to find ports on live pre-Luclin/PoP. Most druids and wizards were usually /anon or /role to avoid getting tells for port requests. When you did find one who wasn't, and was not in a dungeon or other area where they clearly weren't available for a port, it was hit or miss on whether they'd be willing to take the time to port you. And lowbies could expect to almost always be denied, because it was expected that they'd pay their dues and run or ride the boat.
When I started on P99 I didn't use ports to start because I expected that same attitude. I was shocked when I discovered DaP, and even then I always prefaced my request with "Are you free for a port right now?" because I wasn't used to a druid who was focused on doing nothing but porting.
I remember my first time going from Uguk with P99 friends to Unrest. They laughed because I was heading for the boat, it was what I expected we would have to do in our teens! I spent a lot of hours on the boat going back and forth from places like unrest to oasis on live. I don't miss it, I'm happy to have DaP service around.
