Dial a port is bad for server health.

I think DAP is a good thing.
It's nice to have people who are actively willing to port people rather than asking randoms who are likely busy leveling, etc.

If you don't want to join them then just get your name out there. I have a few Druids that I like to ask for ports if they are around (not part of Dial a port either).

Shoutout to Sammah who is always happy to help me get outta OT even when I have special/complicated requests!
