A lot of these folks spend hours porting random people to random places. For prophit, not out of the goodness of their hearts. A lot of times they have people queued up waiting for ports after you. It becomes mechanic. And the faster they get to your next port, the more ports they can do. So that extra few seconds high fiving and whatnot decrease efficiency. Less efficiency = less profit. Just like in the real world.

However, From the DaP porter's perspective they often have multiple people waiting for them at assorted places waiting to be taken to assorted places. They also may have ongoing tells with people asking questions or asking for a port.

Maybe I'm on at the wrong times but there has been many times I'll be sitting in the tunnel or sitting at the WC Druid rings and I'll see at least 2-3 DAP members sitting around, waiting for customers. The whole time they are using /ooc to promote they are porting.

I don't believe EQ is that busy that there are people sitting around, waiting for DAP members to pick them up and DAP is using the excuse that the day is so busy and everyone wants a port.

DAP can run their "business" however they want to run it but I'm just saying that out of the three times I have used their "service." I never received the courtesy of being a treated as a paying "customer."
