There's a big difference between people doing things to be nice, free of charge, etc. and people expecting other players to do things for free. Of course pretty much every player has done something to help someone out, bind a melee in a new city, hit a couple newbs with a DS as you're cruising through the newbie zone, etc. That's much different than expecting an entire guild to provide a service for free and/or next to nothing.

All of you who think you're getting away with something by tipping a porter 10p for a port/sow/lev/invis/evac etc.- know that you are being bankrolled by others who tip more. If it weren't for the 50p/port tippers out there, DaP would not exist (and neither would the non-DaP free agents that offer porting services) and you'd be hoofing it everywhere. Like it or not nobody is going to log on and spend hours porting people around and end up with nothing to show for it.

And of course for those who think it's such an outrage to have to pay for a port, feel free to roll a porting class and you can port your own sorry arse around.

I haven't seen a single person in this thread make that argument.

Ziggy LOL. The thought of you getting so upset at my post hardens my cock. If only you knew how nice I actually am and how many people I help on this server every time I log in the game.
But yea anything less than a 30pp tip is horse shit. I am at the point in this game where I dont charge anyone for anything. I dont charge to port I dont charge to rez. I enjoy helping people. I am merely looking at it from a DaP's view.
There was a time earlier before I have what I do now that I would port for money. and there is ALWAYS those assholes who send you a tell for a port in EC and then you run to them in EC or wherever the fuck they are and so you port and sow and then get a 10pp tip. I have never said anything to these people but i always thought to myself " Wow, what a dick." and then I would just move on with my life.

Ziggy, I hope you feel better now that you had your internet temper tantrum. But ask anyone who knows me dude. I help ALWAYS. Always have always will.

Well, these are all of the phrases that have been used in this thread to describe people who advocate that porters/DaP should be compensated fairly for their time spent porting (not referring to the probably appropriate slams for the original culprits):

self obsessed idiots
DaP is not to be trusted
selfish money hungry backstabbing cockblockers, swindlers, hustlers, and cons
a real entitled shit
idiot
too stupid...

Seems to describe general outrage to me. I'll stand by my statement.

I fully support Dial-A-Cuck and their entitled, bullying, monopolizing, platinum-gouging ways.

If this guild of plebs and whiners allows druids to scrape together a few platinum at the lower levels before they realize how utterly worthless their class is at the higher levels, I'm all for it.

I understand this is RnF but damn, how can you hate on DaP for "bullying" or "platinum-gouging"? I use DaP all the time and have had almost entirely good experiences. I've never felt bullied or been quoted a price, much less gouged.

I use you guys all the time and am grateful for your service. As for the people here who are shitting on DaP, nobody is making you use their service.

If that is your opinion from "DaP" point of view then that is what I'm responding to. Did you ever put someone on ignore for giving you 10 plat? Did you port them to a dangerous zone? No? Did you refuse to port someone for a CR because it would cut into your profits? These are many of the pieces of trash that get drawn to this guild, but there are still decent folks in there.

Druids and wizards should be happy to get a tell from anyone really, even if it's someone giving you 10 plat to click a button.

so naturally you are too stupid to realize that many players don't view clicking a button and loading to be worth more than 10 plat a pop.
lol easy darling, I pay for the port because its saving me time from a long run. I got no problem paying 25pp to avoid taking the boat, the fact that its easy to click the port spell button on their end is irrelevant to me.

Wrong.

And you better believe that if you are flying a DaP tag and you pull that shit and I find out about it best believe that you will not be flying the tag much longer. It's as simple as that.

We are service but the only reason we have what we have is because we operate under a single rule of be nice.

You guys talk like nobody knows how to tip or pay someone for something. It baffles me that his thread is still going and honestly I'm a bit disgusted.

To the rest that stick up for what we are doing. I thank you. You are the reason we decide to Port and continue to service the community to make transportation a bit easier on everyone.
Oh so Amelias isn't in DaP anymore?
