Glitterports here, HI natewest! Glad my branding is working.
Im just gonna clarify some things cuz theres so much misinformation here.
To all the people who are bashing Dial a Port and saying we "port for tips be happy you get anything", you are wrong. We dont port for tips, in fact we are allowed to set our own pricing. We port for money. We are providing you a service. You could easily walk and take boats anywhere you want but you dont want that, you wanted the quick travel way. You wanted me to spend my time porting you somewhere instead of getting XP or farming or questing. My time is valuable. In fact it says it right here in our guild rules.
4. Greed will not be tolerated of any kind! You may set your own prices for ports or other services, but do not argue with a client over the fare received if the price was not agreed upon initially. You will get stiffed from time to time but just bite your tongue and move on.
This is the rule that was broken right in front of me and that is why I removed him from the guild. A long with this rule.
1. BE NICE & SHOW RESPECT!! This not only includes your guildmates but the entire P99 community.
Just to clarify futher for yall who think we port for tips.
7. Avoid the words "donations" or "tips" when advertising your services as we are a pay-for-port service and those words can have mixed meanings. We do however encourage members to advertise free CRs and help lowbies and new members as much as possible.
All of our rules can be viewed at
https://dialaport.freeforums.net/page/rules for those of you who want further clarification of what Dial a Port is about.
You dont call a taxi and expect him to just drive you for a tip. Theres a fare involved. Luckily for the entire community MOST of us dont even have set pricing, we will take whatever we can get from any of you because we are doing a service for the community. Ive NEVER turned down a port, even if people cant pay.
A general rule of thumb is 1pp per level as payment (lvl 20 can pay 20pp, lvl 55 can pay 55pp ect)
