Thing is, he needs to record every port. show the 1k plats being used on ports etc., that way we know he didn't just edit to show the bad experiences.

Yeah, this is a good idea I would love to see a vid of someone's experiences via DAP, good and bad.

I personally have had only a few bad experiences, and they weren't even that big a deal tbh. Just someone with tag up that's AFK, or send tell and get no response.

I think his positive experiences will heavily outweigh his bad.

Also, it will be important to see how he begins the interaction. If he sends a tell saying, "Take me to Gfay you port whore," then I'd expect a bad experience to be incoming.

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.

Add Speedyfeet to this. I'm only anon when I'm quadding or helping a new player out. My ports are always free unless you feel compelled to donate. I have refused donations multiple times and in some cases of new players, given them 20-50p and the port. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I honestly don't see a problem with charging and communicating an up front fee. If you don't like it, find another port.

I've never had a bad experience using DaP.

ooc or shout in zone for a port with plat amount gets attention from anon porter classes

if non-twink then tip 1pp per your level, if twink then try to tip 50pp if under level 50 and then more when over level 50. Porters also except gems and will take gold begrudgingly

when sending tells to porters give as much information as possible /tell drood need pick up at BB rings and drop off in lavastorm

get an OT hammer and use the skyfire ramp to find porters, usually just using /say

get port'ing items: 1k gate potions, innothole & Everfrost potins, Lizard Blood Potions, WC hat, get VP and just run past all the see invs and thru locked doors for a free port to Sky

be a bard or use spirit of the cheetah and just run TD for the pots room

1pp per level, minus 1pp for every minute late they are from when they say they will meet you.

I have been provided so many free SoW, clarity, other buffs and corpse recoveries along the way I certainly have no problem providing players free ports and though I may accept tips as a lower level character I would never require payment.

As a wizard this is the one thing I can do to assist other players and I am happy to do it to give back to the community.

Today I met a young mage who saved my ass from a corrupted cyclops and his three buddies by providing me a lev ring as I kited around the island. He refused my tips. There are still heroes out there folks
