Respectfully let me stop you there. I don't think people understand just how many druids and wizards there are online on this server at any given time. Excluding DaP.

Food for Thought. (sorry Tupakk)

Again you seem to be sour and I'm sure you have your reasons. In response earlier to whomever was referring to DAP turning on anon as soon as a car is asked for; I have forgotten to turn on anon when I need a break from porting or I have a huge list or I need to ago for 10 minutes or a hundred other legit reasons.. other than just not wanting to assist someone on a cr. Realistically we get pms constantly so chances of me needing to go afk and you sending a message right before I turn anon on is very possible and happens more than you know. Not saying this is what has happened to you or other people but this is not a far fetched scenario by any means.
You are right in the fact there are a lot of capable porters and if you are broadcasting for ports in WC or just have anon off in ring zone than you will get requests for ports. I am saying there is more than enough demand to keep hard working porters busy during peak hours whether you are in DAP or not. There is no monopoly on porting on this server. Also if the majority of players do try for DAP first, that basically tells you that you are in the minorty of DAP haters. I'm not bias here. Just giving you my honest experiences as a DAP porter who doesn't play regularly.

Also in me sayin I am not bias. I prefer to think I am not biased, I really have no connection or affiliation other than wearing the tag for porting. Which honestly if you are porting to make plat, that's really just the smart thing to do if it helps you advertise and keeps ya busy unless you have some type of grudge, and if so that's perfectly understandable also.

I don't dismiss that the claims of the OP aren't true, but a blanket statement against DAP because of a small minority is similar to generalizing the P99 community as 'toxic' due to the actions of a minority of players which we all know is not true.

I've been in Dial a Port for a long time. Granted, I don't play much, but when I do the guild is always very friendly and accommodating. I am not aware of a blacklist, or any sort of shenanigans. Many of my guildies genuinely enjoy porting other players. Tips are nice but are never required. The original intention of the guild was to make it EASY for the community to find a port. A rule of "CRs are always free" was in place when I joined as was free newbie transports. We've saved hundreds of erudites from the terrors of Tox forest and brought them in touch with the rest of the world. I've seen guildies answer the "call of qeynos" or "call of everfrost" numerous times to pickup a newbie, port them, run them to a town, and bind them so they could play with a friend. I expect nothing but a thank you and hope that the experience I provided was enough to set the good natured tone of the community for a new player.

As far as /anon goes... personally I sometimes get slammed with tells and can't keep up. If I don't respond and toss up /anon it's not because I'm purposely being an asshole, it's because I missed it and anon to stop the influx of new tells. I could do better, and strive to as I never want to leave a player hanging, but shit happens.

The "/who all XXXX count" command isn't some sort of state secret. Druids are generally the most common class online at any given time of day. Wizards aren't very popular and usually sit in the bottom 4 or so.

I make very little use out of Dial-a-port. I might've used them twice in the past year, if even that. Sense of entitlement is right when folks act like ports-on-demand are somehow mandatory to even play the game (they aren't).
