Default Dial a Free Port!

If you need a port and have been asked to pay up front a specific amount by a <Dial a Port> member then post your character here and I will pick you up and take you where you like to go! I'll leave this post active as long as I am available and will be checking it regularly.

/w all druid <Level range for port to destination>
/tell #1 Hey can you..
/tell #2 Hey can you..
repeat until results.

Shouldn't take more than 5 minutes tops. And if you're at a ring or wizard spire you can usually get picked up in even less time.

I only use dap if I'm in a rush. AND it usually takes a fking age and half so I've stopped using dap. Not sure why it takes someone so long to port,. accept plat,. port, repeat.
And if they're going to run a mile to someone they should go Anon so other people don't spam them waiting for a port that's going to take 20 minutes.
I'm not ranting, This is just my personal experience. *shrugs*

That's a rant but it's ok.

Fact is they often have lots of tells and people waiting for ports, sometimes people send tells and are not clear in what they want, where they going etc., so there's lots of factors involved with why someone porting for plats isn't always instantly able to come straight to you for your port or able to instantly begin explaining the entire situation as to why they are being slow to get you.

There are times when the porter is also not on top of their job (it's their job, after all they are getting paid for their porting service.) Not all porters are fast typers, not all are organized, and some lose track of tells etc. It's all human factors that contributes to slow porting and it's not all the porter's fault nor is it always the customers fault either.

These kind of rants only show a lack of empathy and understanding of the entire porting situation. I recommend for someone that doesn't understand it, or gets highly frustrated as baler does with the porting situation to make a porter and join DAP and then you can see for yourself how it goes.

You must have really thin skin if you think that's a rant. I put a curse word in it. oh man I must be having a mental anger meltdown! Not

Just shared my experience with DaP. Not every review has to be 5 stars best experience of your life. Sometimes the service sucks and your food is under cooked. There is no need to show empathy if you have to wait a long time just to get food poisoning.

ps. this dap topic has been talked about so much. It's like beating a dead horse every time someone makes a new thread sharing their complaints about dap.

I welcome all forms of questions/comments/concerns. What I don't welcome is wild accusations and no proof to back it.

Like any leader I will side with my guild members until shown otherwise.

Which again beating a dead horse because it hasn't changed for me since I started helping run DaP.

Again with saying I welcome competition. Expendiencys shutdown campaign , Dottedup recruiting battles, Dial a Rez, Dial a Corpse, Cholo NoNo Seb Phase, Tell a Port , Tin Foil accusations, Uber Ports, Dial a Bum , Constant RNF and OT threads. All of these have done nothing but help build our ranks and make us what we are today.

So as nicely as I can say it bring it on.

Give a topic on these forums that isn't or has not been talked about incessantly. That's what we do here, you know that.

It's not like the elf world we live in on p99 changes much, it's like groundhog day here...
