Dial a Port is a service guild, not a handout guild. And for what it is worth if you sent any random druid a tell and offered them the same amount of plat you will get the same if not worse replies.

You did not have enough for the time investment you requested, simple as that. Now stop throwing a temper tantrum on 7+ year old forums that see maybe 1/10th of the traffic the server does.

I use Dial a Port just about constantly...

in about 500 lifetime transactions I've never had an issue with any of them being anything less than efficient and friendly taxi folk.

For future reference, Tox is even more of a death sentence than iceclad, though. People actually pop into iceclad occasionally to potentially serve as a rescue unit.

You can sit and Tox for days as a melee until someone needs hate stones or to scamper to The Hole.

I tip well so the only times I have had problems with DaP was when I needed a port for a CR. One time the DaP that I asked went /anon and didn't respond to me. The other time they quickly logged after I asked. Classy! Other than that I have had good experiences.

Ej port is from anywhere now and a double cast of the spells succors you right to FoB ZL. saving a ton of time.

Everyone in DaP knows this.
I didn't have the slightest idea. I thought I remembered my EJ evac working outside of dungeons on live but it has been so long. I have been porting to DL and running through FM and LOIO to transfer stuff to characters there lol.

If you're a newbie and need to get somewhere for CR or to xp like FoB /tell bonhoeffer and if I'm not grouped or locked down on a camp I'll port you. Often I'm just in gfay medding between quads.

I love DaP, have never had a bad experience. I am perfectly fine with them seeing me as 'nothing but a platinum source'. What the hell else would I want? If they are doing it for any other reason then they won't be as likely to provide consistent service. You people who always think that corporations are evil because 'all they are interested in is money' should go back to economics class and pay attention this time.

Howdy, Mordicuss here! My bad on ignoring you, I didn't realize you were lvl 13 and just trying to get to Kurns. I would have absolutely taken you there for free, but it's easy to get swamped with tells and not take a closer look at the situation. PM me and I will assist your Kurns group next time you're on.
So you took the guys plat THEN ported him then ignored him. You are a pitiful person lol people like you are EXACTLY why DAP has sometime been given a bad name. Cheers to your guild leader for playing damage control.

I really think you guys should tell people about the recommended donation of 1pp per level, because obviously new players don't know that unless they are told.

I've had nothing but good experiences with Dial A Port. The worst thing that usually happens is sometimes the porter lets their que get too long and you wait around for ages. With that said, I usually have more luck with a random /who druid all when I need a port for a CR. I usually almost always get ignored by dial druids when I'm upfront about the CR port because they can often be busy and don't want to give out freebies when they have paying customers waiting. In short, if you're broke then just do some /who's and find someone who isn't busy.
