Joining up with a cleric + shaman + enchanter in PoM, charming and hasting McStinkles, and wrecking the puppets for a chance at cards.

Or, you know...whatever it is druids do when not quadding or porting.

There is some powerful animals they can charm + they have great flexibility with dots quading, and straight nukes + heals, the class deserves more respect than that of a taxi cab

Hypothetically, what would be a fair price to pay to Dial A Port to cover ports from now until the end of the server?

What did BDA charge to rescue a guy stuck in Plane of Fear? Was it 10k?

I'd work on that basis, pay them 10k per day as a lump sum.

That's works, I'll do that for you =)

But seriously, keeping someone in DaP helps others out when they need it (as well as the porter honestly for making plat when they are tired of the grind or when they hit end level), but it would be hard knowing that I have to log in everyday and be at someone's beck and call. Other individuals might be ok with it, but I am a very casual player, sometimes logging in once every other week, and not even on my wizard. The idea is interesting, but not sure if its against guild policy. Been a member for awhile but I need to brush up on that policy myself, since I play very rarely.

The issue with prepaying for a lifetime of ports is when you actually "get your moneys worth." For the sake of easy math if you paid 1k plat you'd be paying 50pp per port for the first 20 ports. 20 ports is actually a lot of ports, especially from the same person. The amount of 1k plat is a pathetic amount to give for a "lifetime" of anything. If you have 5k plat, which still isn't a ton you need 100 ports to be paying 50pp a port, which at the end of the day is on the higher end of a port tip. The whole point of getting a "lifetime" worth is to get a deal too, so what we're looking at here is somebody somewhere getting screwed.

Its similar to why I never bought translocate:group or individual translocate to bind when Velious launched when they were selling for 10k+ a piece. First of all I had nobody to port or translocate anyways. Second of all, it would have been completely ludicrous for me to buy a spell I dont even need for an exorbitant price to send people I dont give two shits about to their ToV bind. It would have taken me 100 translocates at 100 plat a piece to just break even. My first 10 translocates would have cost me 1000 a piece. Fuck that dude.

TL - DR - don't do a devil deal with BDA or any other guild on this server, fly your Dial a Port tag and make people pay for your services. If they dont like it tell them to get fucking bent, everyone is trying to screw each other around here constantly

It would be a bookkeeping nightmare for DaP but this would be amazing to have. I would buy a DaP renewable monthly subscription in a second.

How awful would it be to have to be the one processing all the port logs and doling out plat from the guildbank?

Hmm, actually there might be more plat in being one person charging a flat % to do the admin, processing, & reimbursements versus being one person porting.
