The issue with prepaying for a lifetime of ports is when you actually "get your moneys worth." For the sake of easy math if you paid 1k plat you'd be paying 50pp per port for the first 20 ports. 20 ports is actually a lot of ports, especially from the same person. The amount of 1k plat is a pathetic amount to give for a "lifetime" of anything. If you have 5k plat, which still isn't a ton you need 100 ports to be paying 50pp a port, which at the end of the day is on the higher end of a port tip. The whole point of getting a "lifetime" worth is to get a deal too, so what we're looking at here is somebody somewhere getting screwed.

Its similar to why I never bought translocate:group or individual translocate to bind when Velious launched when they were selling for 10k+ a piece. First of all I had nobody to port or translocate anyways. Second of all, it would have been completely ludicrous for me to buy a spell I dont even need for an exorbitant price to send people I dont give two shits about to their ToV bind. It would have taken me 100 translocates at 100 plat a piece to just break even. My first 10 translocates would have cost me 1000 a piece. Fuck that dude.

TL - DR - don't do a devil deal with BDA or any other guild on this server, fly your Dial a Port tag and make people pay for your services. If they dont like it tell them to get fucking bent, everyone is trying to screw each other around here constantly
