I'll just end this by saying: anyone that thinks 1p per level is an unreasonable sum, consider the reason you want a port in the first place. You're trying to save time. Spend a week taking the boat or running from zone to zone, trying to get to groups you were invited to before they replace you, and ask yourself by the end of that week how much your time is worth.
Meh not really. The amount of money I made solo porting vs being in DAP was roughly equivalent. DAP amount had a slight edge but it wasn’t significant. Plenty of people will send tells to random Druids asking for ports, and if you know the right places to be oocing you’ll do very well as a solo porter (e.g. OT ramp, dungeons where people commonly need ports out, EC instead of WC to snag the people heading to WC to try and find a port before they get there, etc).
