Time to dispel a few rumors regarding DaP:
Rumor #1: DaP members never respond to my CR requests, they really don't want to do free CR rides at all!
Fact: This is certainly not the case. Last I checked, one of our core rules is that all CR rides should be free, no matter what. We understand how brutally frustrating it can be when you die and your corpse is half-way around the world. We've all been there. If you send a tell to a DaP member for a CR and they don't respond, please try again. At times things can get insanely busy and it is likely that we may have missed your tell.
Rumor #2: DaP is just a bunch of greedy fucks!
Fact: Well, most of us did join in hopes of getting more port requests, and thus more plat, but let's be honest here. The porting business is very up and down. You might make a good amount one day, and lucky to even make 125p the next. Do you want to spend a few hours of your time only making 125p? I certainly do not. But it's a donation based service, so the amount you make is entirely unpredictable. In fact, most of DaP are usually anon and are busy making real plats by farming or leveling up.
Rumor #3: So and so never responded, or charged an insane amount (100p) to come pick me up in FoB, what kind of service is this?
Fact: More often then not, there are only a few of us with dial tags up, meaning at any time we could get slammed with 4-5 ppl requesting pickups, CRs, etc. If someone does not respond, try again or ask another member. If we can't get you, we'll send the request into guild chat in the hopes that someone else can.
Not everyone is bound in OT or KC, places that aren't easily accessible. A lot of work goes into communication with clients and getting them from A to Z as fast as possible. If a DaP member says they will only do it for a set amount, it's because it's a long ass run and they will be missing out on other port requests during the time it takes to come get you.
Rumor #4: DaP is a monopoly, they are trying to take over services of the common folk! I bet the leader's an asshole and takes a weekly percentage from their members too!
Fact: There are no requirements to joining DaP. Anyone can join. They will make you an officer on your first day. No ones going to hit you up for a percentage lol. The leaders, namely Supremacydru and Afeni, are some of the most laid back people around. Hell, they throw fishing derby events for the guild. I'd hardly call that anything but awesome.
Rumor #5: The druids are making a killing with those Velious ports, yo.
Fact: This is 100% truth...
