There's a big difference between people doing things to be nice, free of charge, etc. and people expecting other players to do things for free. Of course pretty much every player has done something to help someone out, bind a melee in a new city, hit a couple newbs with a DS as you're cruising through the newbie zone, etc. That's much different than expecting an entire guild to provide a service for free and/or next to nothing.
All of you who think you're getting away with something by tipping a porter 10p for a port/sow/lev/invis/evac etc.- know that you are being bankrolled by others who tip more. If it weren't for the 50p/port tippers out there, DaP would not exist (and neither would the non-DaP free agents that offer porting services) and you'd be hoofing it everywhere. Like it or not nobody is going to log on and spend hours porting people around and end up with nothing to show for it.
And of course for those who think it's such an outrage to have to pay for a port, feel free to roll a porting class and you can port your own sorry arse around.
