How to get a port

[Gandite]

1) Money talks. That 3 line /tell you just sent me explaining why you need my services is sweet but you're wasting your time and mine. You want my attention?

/t Gandite gfay to nro 40p

2) If you're on a CR you are absolutely at the mercy of the person porting you. Don't bother with the "I'll hit you up later/when I get my body/when I get back to EC" because I don't believe you. Heard it all a trillion times and I don't care. If I ported you for your CR its because I felt like helping you out. If you do make good on it that's awesome, but the vast majority don't so save your breath.

3) Don't sit somewhere and /ooc for a ride. Even if you're donating or sitting somewhere heavily populated like EC. Do a /who and find someone. Even when I'm fishing for ports I ignore a large amount of that stuff. The people advertising do the same thing. They expect you to come to them, not the other way around. Don't wait. Make that shit happen.

4) A port is a luxury, not a right. If you're a low level figure 1pp/level until you figure out the paper chase. If you're level 45 and you offer me 20p to pick you up and port you somewhere go die in a fire. You're wasting my time and you know it. If you can't let go of your precious monies get a sow and start putting one foot in front of the other. There's always the boats!

edit:

5) Always pay in platinum. Why the fuck are you carrying 600 gold? Seriously.
