Explain to me how dealing with an avg DAP porter is any different than if you had to type "/t pokbook can u port me to xyz?" my point pretty much this whole time has been that you're HEAVILY exaggerating the amount of "interaction" involved in the typical port transaction on P99 blue. If you want to argue that like 1% of the time something else happens with DAP that wouldn't happen with an automated port system then so be it. But for some reason you're acting like every time you get a port on P99 its some magical social experience that makes or breaks whether or not this game is any fun at all. I think that's absolutely absurd.

Its a point I've tried to make for a long time. I personally (not to put words into the quoted), would argue much of the same thing when it comes to the bazaar. The interaction level a lot of time is very low. Meanwhile, there was still bartering amongst regular traders in the bazaar.
I feel like when it comes to this sentimental attachment to EC and Druid ports, people have bloated the real impact these changes had on the game. Most of what makes EQ the way it is has to do with groups and raids being required for most the content, combined with a non-instanced shared world.
