I do believe everyone's argument over the nexus ruining porting is a dumb argument. And hypocritical.
Nexus only takes you between the main spires nexus - gfay - nk - Tox - DL. You still had to get a wiz or dru port or run your happy little pixel to FP or Qeynos or literally any zone on the mainland outside of NK.
I mean who the hell wants to run from NK to FP ??
Druids and wizards were still heavily used for ports during Luclin.
Also who the hell wants to take two boat rides at 3am when you finally get a hole group while auctioning in gfay?
I can 100% say withour a doubt, none of you want to make that hour or two long run when no porter can be found.
Dial a port as a guild is not classic. There was no taxi guild on live and no global chat. Which means if you weren't lucky to find a porter in the zone you're in, you start scouring your friends list.
Good luck at 2-4am....
Waiting 15min for a port to nexus and then 15min more to get to one of the 4 spires was merely a consolation prize for those not waiting to boat.
