i play really fucking casually and i have had multiple bad experiences. Guild seems to be filled with illiterants and complete retards.
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?

I think DaP members all do their services differently, kind of like how anyone working does their job a little differently than their coworkers.
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.
