Most of e people that join us move on to bigger and better guilds. I'm sorry that you stuck your Druid alt in the same guild but if you did that and expect to make loads of plat you are sadly mistaken. Anyone in whatever guild your in will tell you that openly and if not they are sparing your feelings. In this day and age if you only have contact within your guild chat your guild isn't doing it right anywyas and if they don't know you Druid alt you are doing enough for them to bother. I'm sorry that our guild is as awesome as it is, but you know what we have worked hard for what we do and we will continue to work hard to serve this box this the day it closes cause yes the money is nice but it's more for the interactions with the players and having fun. We will continue, we will thrive and will will stay alive. #DAP | |||

![]() I see plenty of druids doing just fine porting around advertising there service with out a DaP tag. With our with out the tag you will do just fine imo.
Why does everything you post Phacemelter have to be doom and gloom? | ||

![]() Amid a flamefest about Dial-a-Port (buried in a larger flamefest about electoral politics) I had a reasoned discussion with someone about Dial-a-Port. I appreciate the convenience, knowing that anyone who has the tag up should be willing to accept a request for a port, but a /who all druid 39 55 might turn up a bunch of druids who are not interested.
However, I also realize that I might be ignoring those new players who are trying to earn a plat or two to fund their characters. Which is fine--I want to support new players. That said, if new players are creating druids to level up to porting age, so they can make money porting, so they can twink the character they really want to play ... then I am less inclined to want to support them. Of course, I can't tell who is who, so ... If I want a port--I go to the zone I want a port from, preferably one with a ring. I ask in /ooc if anyone is porting, and state what I can tip for the port. If no one responds, then I might look to to DaP or start using the /who all druid 39+ route. Not sure. One thing we can all do, and something I do if I am in a zone for a while. If someone comes and advertises ports, and someone else later is looking for a port, I recommend the porter who advertised. Just my two cents. | ||

case studies: 1. send tell to DaP member requesting port with specifics included. only reply received is "sec" (I immediately get another port because that tell is meaningless). 5 or 10 minutes later, after I've received a port and run the rest of the way to my destination, a butthurt "where are you, why did you waste my time" from the "sec" guy. 2. request port, pay 50p up front, only person in porter's group. Get detoured to a different zone to pick someone else up first (without porter saying anything). Game lags out on zone to WC instead of the DL port I requested, and when I log back in porter nowhere to be seen. 3. many weird creepy tells received from basement dwellers butthurt about my "Tell a Port" tag and telling me to join the hive. Frustrated that my tag is actually a semi-clever pun and yours is gay nerd stuff? | |||

For instance, some of them seem to keep a lengthy list of people in a queue for ports, while others pick you up and turn their tag off meaning they won't get any more tells for ports. The ones who keep small queues of people waiting are quicker to respond I would guess. Some of them also might try to coordinate more routes with one another to try to maximize their use of mana, while others may keep their port routes simple using more mana on ports but making it a faster pickup for those who have requested them for a port. Also, you got to understand, they are not simply running people for money. They also get random tells to pick up lowbies, people send them tells for CRs which often times are more complex than just taking them to one spot and leaving them. CRs will require sow, see invis, invis, possibly a levi, and maybe even partial escort and DaP does all of this for free. Anyway, it's pretty simple. If you don't like the guild or their service, simply do not use them. I think the majority of players on the server won't share your animosity towards DaP though, because most people have pleasant dealings with them apparently. | |||
