Question about Dial a Port

[Transylvania]

The problem with p99 period is that the entire post-newbie crowd is composed of selfish money hungry backstabbing cockblockers, swindlers, hustlers, and cons. It's a ME ME ME world and if that's not you're style, my advice is to find another game.

As opposed to what? Is your expectation that strangers should be expected to stop whatever they are doing to buff/port/rez you (for free) so that you can enjoy the game "your way?" Who's really the selfish one here? If you are looking for some kind of commune to join there are things called guilds in this game. Join one and get your guildies to port you around for free.

Um ... no.

This community as a whole is the most newb friendly community I've encountered on any online game to include multiple live EQ servers from back in the day. Almost all of the shitty cockery is the high end raid scene alone, and even then the shit is flung around against their competitive peers alone. Most interactions I've observed over the years between even the "assholes" and new new players has been helpful and polite.

Getting free buffs, advice, and even spontaneous gifts of free starter gear is a very common occurrence.

Unless you ask for a port from certain players without magically knowing the going donation rate, then fuck you, you deserve to be ported to the middle of nowhere and stranded.

Right?

Wrong.

And you better believe that if you are flying a DaP tag and you pull that shit and I find out about it best believe that you will not be flying the tag much longer. It's as simple as that.

We are service but the only reason we have what we have is because we operate under a single rule of be nice.

You guys talk like nobody knows how to tip or pay someone for something. It baffles me that his thread is still going and honestly I'm a bit disgusted.

To the rest that stick up for what we are doing. I thank you. You are the reason we decide to Port and continue to service the community to make transportation a bit easier on everyone.

And that is why you have my utmost respect Tupakk. Thank you!

anything below a 30pp tip isnt worth the mana to port. it sucks as a lower level to cough up 30pp but 5pp or 13pp is pretty much a joke. Most porters arent that much of an asshole though.

Some things that will help you: Be at a ring when you ask for a port, and if your lower lvl ask in a way that lets them know you are new to the server.

"Hello would you be free to help a new player with a quick port? I only have 10-15pp to spare."

Its not uncommon for even high lvls to tip like a 5-10pp tip. It happens to me all the time i usually just tell them to keep it.

You sound like a real entitled shit. Not worth the mana to port? You idiot, how long does it take you to regen the mana??? I have ported people for free usually on my Druid. The problem isn't DaP the problem is the type of player that it attracts to its ranks. You are too stupid to realize you could actually be making faster plat than porting people around constantly, so naturally you are too stupid to realize that many players don't view clicking a button and loading to be worth more than 10 plat a pop.

I get requests to drag people's corpses a lot through complex dungeons which takes more time than clicking a button and loading. Do they offer plat usually? No. Do I put them on ignore if they don't tip me? No. Do I give a shit? No. I do it to help, not because I see $$$$ when I get a tell from a player asking me for assistance.
