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.

I may be taking this out of context but I have been in DaP for awhile now and as far as I know, nobody demands any certain amount like 50pp a port. Sure, we are a pay-for service and expect payment but it's still based off the old "donation" system of whatever you can afford or think is right for the services you received.

Myself, I spend a lot of time helping lowbies or first time characters with little plat for free, free CR's, running to bind them. I typically go out of my way to help people usually for nothing or very little. So when someone does donate 50+pp a port it's nice and it all tends to even out in the end. I don't see it as gouging.

I also enjoy porting. As we know Powerleveling is very high in demand these days and not many people doing it. It's also much more lucrative than what we make in DaP and we have talked about it many times in guild when we powerlevel, how much more we make.

So no, it's not price gouging, it's giving us an incentive to spend all of our playing time porting people around. If we made 20pp a port I guarantee you a /who all dial would be very few players if any.

That would be a port every 2 minutes with the average donation. I'm sure 1k per hour has happened, but to average that is pretty unrealistic, even for DaP members, who obviously make the most.
