How to get a port

[splitshine]

Just wanted to add a little to this:

Can people start getting smarter about choosing who you're going to send a tell about for ports please? When you do a /who all druid 29 50 and you see that I'm in Lguk or any other dungeon, I'm not going to be porting.

Don't bother with the "I'll hit you up later/when I get my body/when I get back to EC" because I don't believe you.

Haha so I've played for 4 days and I feel like I'm at least 50% responsible for this post!

Thanks for the free moves gandy! Yer the man!

Hey man glad I could help. I'm usually always willing to port someone for a CR unless I'm busy. Especially if I'm fishing in EC. Very common to see someone I just ported for a CR who is bound in EC to pop back in naked.

If Charrm reads the forums he'll know what I'm talking about ahaha.

Yea I don't understand the - "x wizard/druid shouts 'porting for donations pst' - I say '10pp for port to location' - x wizard/druid says 'i dont port for anything less than 20pp' ....Really?...

I find it funny when people sit in the EC for ports to like feerott for more than 5 minutes cause you can run there in that time.

You're "rules" are dumb, I /ooc paying for port to so and so 75pp, i get 5 tells in 10 seconds... so maybe you have no fucking idea what you're talking about... lol

That's good man you're a fat fish and as a wizard I love you. Its just I see every day people advertising ports and people looking to get one and sometimes they wait along time. Dude told me the other day after I finally ported him he waited for an hour! And he was paying! I just think people would get better results if they asked directly.

This thread though? Going places. Loving it. Like settin up the bitch bomb.

edit: also they aren't rules and I never said they were. Think of them more as simple guidelines. Nothing is ever set in stone silly!

I normally donate 25pp for a port when I'm not desperate, though after reading your bullshit how to "guide" I'd rather run from steamfont to toxx and back than give you 5 silver. 20pp isn't enough for the precious 2 minutes it takes to port? Give me a break, if your just trying to get people to think ports are actually worth something goodluck because for every doucher demanding 50p a port there's another dru or wiz right there willing to do it for free because FFS it takes like 30 seconds. Quit your bitching that some noob couldn't afford to give you all of his money to get out of his starting area

I disagree with everything OP said. Sounds like a greedy bastard to me.

1pp/level? Are you kidding?

My first LIVE toon was a Wizard, and I don't think I ever 'charged' more than maybe 10pp for a port? (Except planes, of course).

Just because people are willing to pay you a lot of money doesn't mean that your services are WORTH that much money.

I have yet to have an issue getting ports, and you know how I do it?

Either OOC, "paying 8-10pp (depending on how generous I'm feeling) for a port to soandso, pst"

or, sit by a rings/spire and say, "paying 8-10pp for a port to soandso" when I see a porting class arrive.

Works every time, and people are happy to port me, because they KNOW what they're getting. They don't just ask for donations and then get pissy when only a couple plat hits the trade window.

The problem I see with you 'entitled' taxis, is that you just end up looking like assholes. I recently got a port from some greedy druid that complained because I wasn't giving him at least 25pp after he agreed to port me. Why ask for donations when you're really asking for a specific amount?

A donation is like a TIP, not everyone tips the same, and attitude definitely comes into my 'tipping', so if you expect 25pp I'll probably tip you 5.

In addition, there are so many druids on this server (many created solely for the purpose of porting) that you are nothing special or unique, and you don't get to make your own 'rules'. If you try and throw that crap at me I'll just move on to the next one.

I don't like it when people just say 'sow plz' to my shaman, either, but that doesn't mean I go off on them every time it happens. Either they get a sow or I ignore them and they can move on.
