A Little Miscommunication

I like giving my coin to mains in other guilds, not just port bots.

A lot of the people in DaP are just starting and porting is a great way to make some cash. Also some of us use it as a way to gear our mains who are in other guilds. We arent just robots lol.

But Dial-a-port is great though! Always friendly and excellent service! (Please don't hurt me).

For real though, if I give you 75p to 100p for a port... please port me immediately. I'm paying for your time and tipping you well. Don't waste my time by spending 5 mins collecting every person in the zone who wants a port. Alot of DAP scrubs pull this shit in OT / EC and I often just want to ask for my money back to give it to someone else who appreciates it.

This

Also, ran to FoB for an arranged pick up and the guy logged off. I rarely use dial a port after that.

If you don't want to wait 5 minutes, then walk. For fuck's sake, they're probably saving you hours of run time and you're crying about 5 minutes so they can help others too? Think past your nose...

If my taxi driver made me wait so he could pick up a couple more people going the same way to make more money on the same tank of gas, I'd be a very unhappy customer.

This. Even Uber lets you choose carpool option, and costs less if you do put up with that shit.

Alot of times we are getting multiple tells about OT ramp pickups some from HH or some from WW. Personally I ask if they are close and if not I will just make the loop. Others wait. I also ask if the person already sitting there is in a rush. Medding is also a factor. Just cause we get there and you hand us money doesnt mean were prepared to click instantly. However that is rarely the case.

Like Dirty said we take this very serious.

This is a case of a nub not understanding that porters will happily do favors for you -if the toon is right at druid rings or a wiz spire-

The /tell exchange very quickly got lost in snarky aspergers MMO nerd translation

OP could have been a little more friendly to the nub who seemed to sincerely not understand how things work but I think the nub was very quickly offended because 100pp is a staggering amount of coin for a true nub

Pras Dial-A-Port - its a great service and a great way for people on their first toons to make some money
